Veyron

[benyeats]

Saw a Veyron in the flesh for the first time at the motorshow a few weeks ago, very impressively packaged car, much smaller than you expect it to be thus increasing its usability.  Looks a lot better in the metal as well.

ben,

I think the thing that most surprised me was that it looked very small!

Neat as well

Just popped out for a beer and have spotted another one.  A red one in Bentley Silicon Valley, colour really suits the car

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?

I've seen that one out on the A40 too.......which is out your way eh?
It belongs to bob manoukian who is a lebanese financier and he also has another one which has the reg 1B.
Guaranteed to have a cock like a button mushroom and a proper minger for a missus.
I'd rather drive around in my lwb merc sprinter than one of those.;

Sprinters are nearly as quick as a Veyron as well.  Used to be the pick of the fleet when I was a delivery driver, luckily most of the others were too stupid to realise that it was better than the LDV pilots that were also on offer.

John,

Yes I've seen it on the Westway, the owner seems to have bought a big house round the corner and has spent the last 18 months building underneath it to make an underground garage! Also seems to have a Phantom Drophead Coupe, Porsche something, S600 and a couple of others.
