Hodmedod.one Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 My Son works at RAF Coningsby and was lucky enough to see the Top Gear crew filming last week The Mitsubishi Evo VII in the picture only cost my Son an arm and a leg. He would have traded it and several of his vital organs to get a ride in a Veyron (like one of the other RAF guys did)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 What an ugly heap! Give me a new Defender 90 over that any day (assuming I wouldn't be allowed to sell it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Janaway Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think each one is sold at a loss of about 2-3 million pounds per car, it was an enginering show case to show what they can do, but hey its still cheaper that running an f1 team. great pic's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I want the green with wings that goes fast then up with a great big heat trail following it. Got to be more kudos having a jet than a lump of carbon fibre sitting on the drive. About the same cost on insurance too. Would like to see chavs trying to key it at 12000 ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I have to say that I have actually _touched_ a Veyron. Berlin's Bentley shop had one in and, despite the signs saying "no touching" I sneaked a quick feel. It's a lovely car! It's quite strange to see it racing a Typhoon though... It's been done before in the late 80's with a Ferrari F40 and a Tornado GR1 at Bruggen, still, I guess it's more up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 What an ugly heap! Give me a new Defender 90 over that any day (assuming I wouldn't be allowed to sell it) Yes, I'd go for the Defender as well, mate :unsure: Looks like a cornholers car to me :( :) Typhoon's cool though, wouldn't mind a thrash in one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 The Veyron is one heck of a car but why did they design it to be so damn ugly! Bet you're son was over the moon with the days surprised events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
