That the red convertible? Your man was loving the attention driving around!

Yep, I agree. The wife's comment just baffled me a bit, it's a car show and it's a Ferrari - people are going to want to get up close to the thing. If you have a problem with that (and that's cool if you do) but don't bring it to a public car show then?!

I lost interest in it after seeing the Veyron but the Ferrari did sound lovely driving away and I wouldn't say no!

I'm sorry but the Veyron's headlights look the same as the Octavias, which to be fair has a biger boot, and in TDI form is almost as fast and can get 90mpg all day.

Compare the front grille to the Seat Leon!!!

colm_mcm · 12-08-2007 10:19pm

That's VAG for you!

So say I have €1m to splash out on a car, can I go out and just buy a Veyron? Surely, not, that seems too easy? Sure evey tom, dick and harry would have one

colm_mcm · 12-08-2007 11:03pm

the €1m bit usually puts people off.... that and the Skoda lights

bigslick · 12-08-2007 11:10pm

nope, because the car cost about €2m in the end.

Notice in two of the pics, there's a girl and what can only be a 2/3 year old pawing the car !

Here's my pics of it:

I take it there wasn't many boardies there with the lack of posts on the thread...

qz · 13-08-2007 12:25pm

I was in work ;[

Would have been tricky to convince my gf too.

smash · 13-08-2007 12:28pm

I was at the Moynalty Show instead, which was fun watching Jags and American muscle cars getting stuck in the mud!

Speaking of cars stuck in the muck, expensive German metal..... stuck in the muck:

Steve: how does that flickr work with tumbnail link to pics? Can't figure it out.

Had a good day at the races sunday btw, quite afew nice cars. Missed all them TVR's, seen half a dozen of them leave but no Sagaris (is that sagaris owned by a boards member btw?)

JohnCleary · 13-08-2007 11:30pm

I was at the Clayton in Galway. TBH didn't have all that much interest in it. I hate looking at things I can't have

tuxy · 13-08-2007 11:31pm

It's left hand drive, send it back.

sorry that was me standing in the way ruining your pic.
here's what I filmed

http://www.youtube.com/v/WB5JmwYkz4k

Re: the Veyron, total crap it was being followed around the track by a Ford Focus (think it was filming it for RPM) I didn't notice the brakes smoking on the Focus, nor on anything else racing on either day (and pushing a lot harder than they drove the Veyron)

It didn't even sound that impressive and it looks like a squashed Audi TT.

Kersh · 14-08-2007 10:06pm

Hi lads, im pretty close with the Elf/Finol guys (they sponsor me), and the Veyron hit 181mph on the main straight on its last quick lap, Bugatti have confirmed this. It was being driven at the time by an ex-Race driver, whos name was not Kellett.

smash · 14-08-2007 10:27pm

Here's the driver... I took a photo

Kersh · 14-08-2007 10:42pm

Thats Gordon Kellet, he drove the first laps, The guy who sold it drove some laps, and the 3rd guy drove the last lap and the slowdown lap.
