You can tell that VAG own Bugatti, seems top have the basic outline of the Veyron.

But it is a very nice car, wouldn't say no to one.

My mate's put a deposit on one, though he might plump for the GT3 RS,
he's already got a 997, Aston DB6 superlegera and an Aston V8...

Plus a 90, and a fully indy comp motor, and a Fiesta that he goes work in,
so his 'colleagues' don't know what he's got !!!!
He finds it amusing that a lad in his office brags about how fast his scooby is !!! :lol: :lol:

Important message here....Never judge a book by it's cover....

Not an R8 fan myself, I prefer 997 !!!

I kept seeing one a while ago & added the picture on here, can't find the thread at the moment :oops:

It kept going around in convoy with an A5 (both were black)

According to the image record (that pops up when the cursar moves over the image), I took it on 4th September

I guess it's fast, well-built, safe, comfortable, but like 'GREENI', it does nothing for me
If I had to choose an Audi (cost not withstanding), I guess it'd be a S4 (or an Avant version, if they make one??)

Vayron, Guiardo(Sp) and R8 all share a lot of design and all three decend from the Le-Mans Quattro and Nuvolari (R8 with a lot more extras and the Pheaton's W12)

The Le-Mans became those three and the Nuvolari became the A5

All i will say is they go better than they look and they look damn fine! :D

TDi90 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:21:23 »

mate, they are just awesome machines... i would LOVE one.
if only i got those 6 numbers....

carbore · « **Reply #12 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:25:21 »

I still wouldn't swap one for my baby (and id bet id git ir a run for its money round all but the biggest tracks!)

Hobnailkelly · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:26:56 »

WOW !!!!!!!!

Fantastic roadholding - can I get some of those tyres for when I go rock crawling !!!

Seriously cool though. Saw a Veyron in Otley, West Yorks a couple of months back, couldn't get a piccy tho. There are PLENTY of Bentleys around there as well.

lambert · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:33:01 »

That'd be on account of there been more money than sense in these parts!

TDi90 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:36:56 »

do you know what.... its just SEXY. thats all i have to say. SEXY.

Thrasher · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2007, 19:37:18 »

Bloody good tyres - I can't drive along walls :(

Might have to find out what sort of glue they use!

Bunnie · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2007, 20:11:58 »

Rob i now no longer have the msg saved on my phone ( they only last a week i think) and HOW LONG AGO DID YOU RING ME AND TELL ME YOUD SPOTTED ONE! TWO WHOLE WEEKS! Lazy students! :lol:

Evilgoat · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2007, 20:12:51 »

Pirelli General 'Gecko's ;)

Welshbreed · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2007, 20:16:28 »

I can sell you tyres that glue to walls and stuff... only Â£80.00 per tyre... some assembly required... supplied with an aplicator gun and no more nails

Boggert · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2007, 10:10:58 »

Perhaps it had got lost coming from Ilkley, or Harrogate?? (some big money there!)

Or... some over-paid f**tballer trying to find his way home to Collingham & Linton, & too dumb to read the signs, or follow sat-nav??

Evilgoat · « **Reply #22 on:** October 26, 2007, 13:19:06 »

Aparently the R8 kicking around Newcastle way belogs to Cheryl Tweedy from Girls Aloud.

So probobly bonus points for spotting that one ;)

Some kind of pop-group, I take it??

No doubt loaned by Audi press office for the publicity factor????

thermidorthelobster · « **Reply #25 on:** November 24, 2007, 18:04:04 »

There was one in Bagshot High Street this lunchtime, parked just outside the newsagents. I meant to have a look on the way out of the cafe I was in, but I forgot :lol:

Disco Matt · « **Reply #26 on:** November 24, 2007, 18:43:07 »

I think I'd rather a Bowler Nemesis. Or my plan to build a Cayenne killer that looks like a standard 300 series Disco but has a 5l TVR V8 under the bonnet...

Just need a lottery ticket that isn't faulty now - they keep selling me dud ones with the wrong numbers on!

edy · « **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2007, 19:25:09 »

cant say i have seen one on the road but there was one at the MPH show, get to sit in it, a seriously cool car 8) tell it has bits from the tt but also a bit of veyron in there (there was one of them tere to 8) )

crazymac · « **Reply #28 on:** November 24, 2007, 21:38:41 »

Don't do it for me. Sorry guys :?

Apart from anything, I'd lose my licence if I had one :oops:
