Veyron

Post by AlanP » Wed Aug 06, 2008 7:21 pm

I have, for the third time, come home to find a beautiful pink and silver Veyron parked outside a neighbour's house. The reg is a single letter followed by the numeral 1.

I would guess that the owner is ok for a couple of quid.

I have some questions.

1. Whoever he is visiting should surely let him park on the drive!!
2. How do I discreetly leave the Atom nearby and suggest a swap?
3. How did he get to be so F...ing loaded?
4. Is he happy?

Sounds like a call girl's car.

Maybe it's Lady Penelope's?

I think they're kinda ugly, looks like it was designed by VW...oh wait

I agree with Caroline as far as looks :-X The car itself.... with 1001HP and (what was it) ten radiators :-\ I guess I'm more of a finesse type person...

a very good friend of mine owned one for awhile.  he never drove it of fear that something would brake.  wheel and tire cost is 60k plus.

he sold it and picked up his second enzo.....everyone needs two enzos!

That car is just too sterile.  I'd rather have a corporate jet.  Similar performance, faster, better gas mileage.

There's at least three up here in Liverpool.

Two owners live fairly close to each other and one of them has two.

His wife drives one to work in Manchester and parks it in the street.

Well it doesn't do much for me I have to say and having 2 seems kind of vulgar, perhaps they're footballers! It's just dull looking and apparently not that exciting to drive either. If I had silly money I'd get a Koenigsegg or a Reventon or a Zonda. Clarkson once said a Zonda feels like youâ??re on acid and youâ??ve fallen down some stairs, now that sounds more like my kinda car!

Veryons are dull but the prize for the worst looking super car has to go to the T1...what a minger! But at least it doesn't look boring.
