That is some pretty expensive bragging rights there

I was just watching an old episode of Top Gear the other day and they were running the Veyron. I wouldn't want to own one, but it sure would be fun to borrow for a few days!

Hey Tad, can you loan me the coin to rent one for a bit?

Sure, I just got to sell a couple more things like my Fender, my Mountaineer, my first born. What, still not enough?

The lease on that car per month is more than I make in a year.

What's your point?

You must have a couple kidneys you could sell, maybe a couple testicles?

After reading the email I just sent you, you'll see where selling some testicles would not be a bad thing

Um ... TMFI!!

Bc the marketing is worth way more then the loss on the cars.... hence they only make like 10 of those.

I understood they made 250 to 300 ( this guy has 11 for sale http://www.innovationcars.com/blog/11-bugatti-veyrons-for-sale/ ), if they sold everyone for the retail price (and some would be lost to crash testing) by my poor math that would be a total loss of £1,245,000,000 I don't know how to even say a number that big, one h3ll of a marketing bill.

Dr. Robotnik wrote:How did the accountants allow them to do that then?

Like climbing the proverbial mountain, to prove they could create and build the worlds fastest production car, hence the numbers in excess of 200 (I think this is the magic number when a car can be classed as production rather than a special, from the days of group B rally cars RS200 etc, but I might be wrong )

200+ considered production? That's not production. That's some old guy farting around in his backyard garage

Speaking of backyard garages. For your viewing pleasure...



OK, so it has nothing to do with backyards

What do you mean? I'd love to have THAT in my backyard! I'm not picky though, I'd love to have that pretty much anywhere around the house!

No doubt my friend. That carbon hood would have to go though. I think they are over rated.

Oh speaking of carbon hoods. There is a guy standing way in the back with something that looks black. Could be a carbon hood....

DAMN, Asian women are FOINE!!!! Now, an Asian woman with a "little meat on her bones", well......I'll be back in little bit....
