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:

(http://thumb12.webshots.net/t/52/452/9/8/9/2962908090047309372YOKhDZ_th.jpg) (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2962908090047309372YOKhDZ)


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

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.

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??

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!

That does it, I definitely don't want one.  Ignoring the fact that it's useless as a car, no rear seats, no-where for the dogs, the mountain bike and it can't pull a caravan, if it's going to make you look like a second rate popstar then best avoided :lol:

Serioulsy though if I was going to buy a brutally powerful race car with number plates it'd be a GT40.  At least they have proved themselves.

yes they are very pretty there are 3 ive seen round Sheffield....i do have to say that the new Hayabusa is limited to 186....1mph less that the r8, accelerates far more quickly and costs less than 10k compared to 80k ish for an r8....hmmmm so i could have one of those and a bowler into the bargain...no choice really

He may laugh, but as you say never judge a book by it's cover!! :wink:
Where I worked before my accident there are Scoobys that will see off most of the cars your friend owns, plus a Nissan 350z that made a Ferrari owner look VERY STUPID!! :D And still at a fraction of the price, and the owner had the pleasure of buying all the tasty parts too! 8)
But all that said it's only any good if you can drive it, put most people on a track, either in a car or on a bike and they soon stop shouting how fast their car is.
