On reflection - it's lucky I didnt go for the Veyron really...

... apparently they're a bit low and you tend to scrape heck out of the hideously expensive undersides

I have enough trouble on my drive already

The leaf was lucky. I think if it had been slightly to the left it would have got crushed

Apparently the indicators on the Veyron are £4,000 each.

**Butuz** · 07-08-2006, 08:12 PM

Set of wheels and tyres = £40,000 for the Veyron.

Wow, thats like 40 fiestas

Still, I dont think a X5 will be able to do what your skyline just did!

I will shutup now because I like to think I know about cars but I dont. I cant even drive!

Tow bar

Let's not forget that even Bugatti think the Veryon is underpowered, hence the ~£70k upgrade that gets you an extra 231hp a must if only to anoy the people who only have the standard 1001. (It's also 19mph faster not that it needs the extra power to reach 272mph as the standard one is electronical limited to 253 due to tyres exploding) Still expect to see autotrader in Cheshire filled with 2nd hand "poverty spec" ones soon.

I somehow think the Veryon will be one of the few cars almost imune to depeciation

This should be in the bargains section shouldn't it

It costs VW £5mil to make each one but they sell for £1mil

**BenW** · 15-08-2006, 01:30 PM

How about the indicator stalks on the veyron, they're £8k each IIRC!

**weebroonieuk** · 15-08-2006, 06:28 PM

lol that reminds me of a story on the mclaren f1 in performance car many years ago , wasnt its tool kit made of titanium and cost around 40k ? or is that a very silly memory i can forget about

**BenW** · 16-08-2006, 03:55 AM

It was titanium but it wasnt £40k!

Think it also had a gold plated exhaust

**Syd** · 16-08-2006, 07:35 AM

It did have a gold plated manifold and a lot of the engine bay was gold for heat sheilding I think. I was lucky enough to go to mclaren and see/crawl over 4 they had in a line up. However that was 8 or 9 years ago!!
