I was very fortunate to have had a go in a Bugatti Veyron today, with a 987hp four-turbo W16 slingshoting me towards oblivon. There is no need to compare it with my 500 Sport 1.2, but the only common link is that both cars were black and white.

If you have to ask....

So, what was it like (other than a bit "nippy")?

I really do hate you.

Well, first of all there is the throb and thrust of sixteen cylinders.

The thrust of four turbos.

Seven speeds and four wheel drive.

Just teasing the throttle sends it lunging forward, very eager, and ready to unleash if you see fit to floor the throttle. If you do it at the max speed, you will run out of petrol after 12 minutes!

Very opulent interior.

Blah blah

yeah but they're still subject to normal speed limits, so most of the time wouldn't be going fast enough to blur enough to hide their uglyness :devil:

Finally, someone else who thinks the Veyron is one ugly car.

Much the same as saying "what's the point of an ugly heavyweight boxer?" Does it matter when they both floor you with a single punch?!!!

EDIT: Yes, the Veyron is fugly!

Nay, that was the MG SV. WOuld have been good if they actullay built it properly. It's like the goons in charge had too much Old speckled hen who mucked things up. That and other things is the main reason why I can't have an MG. My mother had one, why can't I? (Yes I know classics exist, but I can't afford a decent one.)
