Absolutely right! I remember the hijack of the A5 topic. Any mention of the name Veyron should be instantly be decalred and marked as Off-Topic in such a thread, as it has nothing to do with cars.

That may be so (a personal opinion) but to be honest at least it has the chance of becoming iconic.  Though it has a long way to go to beat the most iconic of all[^]

$1,000,000?  That isn't much when you consider it against other cars of the same calibre.  For example on it's exclusivity it's coming up on par with the McLaren F1 and the last one I heard of being sold was sold for over £1,000,000 nearly twice as much.

Those all suck, the Bugatti Veyron is ultimate

I'd like to see a Veyron doing this[^] ;P Besides the Koeingsegg (or however you spell it) CCX was redone to use biofuel and although it hasn't gone into production has more horses under the bonnet than the Veyron.  And to be honest the McLaren F1 was achieving speeds like the Veyron 10 years ago.

all too true, but we're just guys. We can't help seeing something with this much raw power without drooling or panting.

:-D That was fun, thanks Ed. First time I've heard of a Range Rover being the David in a David and Goliath battle though :-D As for the Koeingsegg, a smidgen less annoying in discussions than the Veyron. The Koeingsegg is what the real car people mention when people who don't know much about cars mention the Veyron. Real know-it-all ;)

The Bugatti Veyron has ruined car discussions. Not in 4x4 boards - the Veyron is truely pants off-road :-P

Yeah but we've had posts here of some cool new 4x4 and someone replies "Yeah, but it isn't a Bugatti Veyron!" and then I phone Chuck Norris. The most irrelevant car on the planet.

You know, it looks really cool but... How the heck to you really DRIVE it? It has blind spots all over the place. I guess if you only go in a straight line and never change lanes then you are OK. ...and the interior really does not look that great.

Well I am a Land Rover fanatic, in fact I'd rather have one of each of every Land Rover produced than a Veyron or Lamborghini or any supercar for that matter.  Even if you included an original Series I, II (88 and 109), IIA (88 and 109), III (88 [already got] and 109), (Pre-)Defender (90, 110 and 130), Defender (90, 110 and 130), Range Rover Classic, Disco (1, II and 3), Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Freelander (1 and 2).  I'd still have money left over from buying a supercar.  (Oops forgot all the military variants as well such as the light-weight and 101)  Plus I'd get more satisfaction out of them, Sport if you want performance (I mean come on 2.7 tonnes 0-60mph in 6 seconds :eek:).

Nope just watch Top Gear a lot :rolleyes:, besides I've always had a fascination with the F1 since it's a British car and as usual with the British it was designed well, the same with Concorde, the Spitfire, Aston Martins etc.

It was nice to see the Sport still had some mud-plugging ability.

My brother has a 1995 Diablo - a new clutch costs $8,000. A set of tyres is $3000. It gets through clutches every 6000 miles and tyres every 3000 miles. I fly a DA40. Its cheaper! http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4419826[^]
