It’s still a Bugatti Veyron...... that’s all you need to know......oh, and that it can drain a tank of fuel in under 10 mins!!! :rolleyes:

The thing about stuff like Veyron's (supercars and hypercars in general) is the idea of owning one is often far better than the reality.

To a lesser degree I wanted to buy something silly last year,(I'm 50 next year so this was a full on mid life crisis) not a Veyron, I'd need to sell a lot of grinder blades and holesaws to afford one of those.

I'd narrowed it down to what I wanted, found one at the right price and went to test drive it.

It was insanely fast, so fast I didn't know what to do with it. I'm not sure where I'd use it and it was so powerful everything was effortless to a degree of being dull as you could never get it up to the exciting loud bit without being in three figures, which means being on a track or a runway and I don't live near either of those.

So I left disappointed, that something I'd wanted for so long turned out to be not what I wanted at all, it kind of burst my bubble and caused a complete rethink. So I'm now looking for something older and a bit more analogue that actually needs driving to enjoy.

And I think you’ve left the rest of us suitably depressed too Alan, thanks for that! :D:p
