I know it is bitterness talking but this photo made me laugh for ages

What a shame :laughing:

The B375 (the road bang outside Thorpe Park) is well known as a place where Ferrari franchise garage and another Prestige car garage go for a quick spin. Surpriesed it took so long for something like this.

It was, apparently, driven by the garage mechanic, while using his mobile phone: "Yeah, Jace? Jace? Yeah, mate, guess what I'm drivin'? Only a 'kin Veyron, innit? Yeah, the throttle's been stickin' a bit, so I'm giving' it a quick run to see whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa........."

Odds on to be on Top Gear on Sunday night.....

I often wondered - when spending that much on building a car (they cost over £4 million to build) why do you give it a name that makes it sound like a brand of bleach?

Odds on to be on Top Gear on Sunday night

If you mean this sunday, I'll take that bet

 

[BrianH]

I'll offer bigger odds than Ian and throw in a free bet on the Grand National

Now what odds would you give me that a Bugatti Veyron is on Top Gear on Sunday?

 

[ovverbruv]

The series has finished now

 

[BrianH]

Hence the special offers, but, if you insist, how about 9/2?

 

[Flagship uberalles]

I am well aware that the series has finished, thank you.

I would feel bad taking that bet though

 

[BrianH]

Then please explain how you could win a bet that something will be on Top Gear on Sunday when Top Gear isn't on on Sunday.

 

[Flagship uberalles]

I could easily win that bet - just not this weekend unfortunately.

Top Gear is on in many, many places this weekend - BBC2 just doesn't happen to be one of them.

There are no fewer than 6 episodes on UKTV Gold - however, none of the Sunday episodes will feature a Veyron.

Last weekend, it was in 2 of them :brows:

Ah, the Bugatti Veyron.... :luv:

 

[krizon]

To the tune of 'Da-doo-ron-ron'

I drove it on a Monday
And my heart stood still,
The Veyron-ron-ron, the Veyron-ron.

Ohhhh! The Veyron-ron!
My heart is gone to
The Veyron-ron!

I crashed it on a Tuesday
And can't foot the bill,
The Veyron's gone-gone, the Veyron's gone...

Ohhhh! The Veyron's gone!
The Veyron's gone, gone,
The Veyron's gone!

cry

Is that the second one to have been trashed in about a week? There was an item on the news a few days (a week?) ago about a car very like the one in the article losing a fight with another car.

I'm pretty sure the driver was a woman.

We reserve the right to trash high-priced cars as well as Vauxhalls and Fords, you know. It's not just the preserve of careless male drivers any more.
