What kinda wheels are those on the Veyron? ADV1? I heard you weren't allowed to change the wheels on the Veyron, but a few years ago ADV got permission from Bugatti themselves and did the first set of aftermarkets on a Veyron. Think there was a Veyron on Forgiatos at SEMA also.

srika

I am not sure but they do look like ADVs

They'd be documented if they were; this is ADV1's.


I'm digging for info on the other; it was seen in Bowling Green, KY last year, same plate.

I was going to say... I see swirl marks in the paint. It needs a detail.

I'd like to do it.

There was a detail video posted here a couple years ago that said it was $10K for a detail of a Veyron. Guy did an amazing job. The Veyron looked like it was a Datsun when he got it.

After driving 3 hours back home, I saw my first Bugatti Veyron this year at the Chicago Auto Show, and I must say I was quite impressed.

black P1 @ Lake Forest Supercars, IL

Majofo

ugh.. need more monies.

Yumcha

PM Altegris for tips...?

Yumcha

Hahaha...looks like the P1 has an angel halo over it in that pic.

Rick_TL-S

Srika, is your company's Aventador down for service? It no longer shows up for reservation.

srika

Not enough interest. :-/ They are not going to bring it out if they don't get a certain # of bookings. I also am not going to be there, I have some family stuff at home.

Rick_TL-S

Ah, that's understandable, then. I may still spring for the Super Trofeo on the Sunday.

Any of you auto-fans in need of some t-shirts? This site's got some pretty cool tees with some awesome graphics: http://www.shotdeadinthehead.com/nse...ider%20Biggest


FYI.

Costco

Jesus Christ do you get reamed on pricing though... £16.99 equates to about $28 USD

add on top of that, £4.99 for shipping is about $8.50

Yumcha

Yeah, never said they were cheap...but, they are definitely cool.

charliemike

I think Chris Harris is selling his F12 (already). I think he had a FF, traded that for the F12, and now is getting something else ... http://t.co/kd7uqdJASm

Which makes me wonder what it is and how he makes enough money as a journalist to afford $400K supercars

Yumcha

Yeah, he has very modest roots by cleaning out "ashtrays" as he put it.

To test cars must be very lucrative. As I said before, I hate him.

Yumcha

Well, if you can't have a Poopdick McFartington...get a fake one.

charliemike

This is a joke right? I've never seen so many things ripped off at once if this is serious.

Yumcha

Nope...they are serious.

charliemike

So they've ripped off Ferrari AND Top Gear? How is that a sustainable business model?

Yumcha

I dunno...same goes for replica timepiece sellers.

Apparently, there is a market for fake stuff.

charliemike

Are they advertising on YouTube?!

Majofo

srika

another P1 in Chicago

need to get some photos somehow

srika

that video links to this site:

http://topgeartvseries.com/

my opinion? I think the entire website is just for fun, a parody-like entity.

srika

just a Lambo hangin out on the north side today

Yumcha

Wow...then again, apparently, the driver was racing up and down the street alot that day.

srika

oops wrong thread

srika

I've been following their FB and IG closely. Someday I'll go on a rally, even if it's the Targa Trophy or 100 Octane

Formula E testing at Donington....

Hmm when the electric engine goes by, it sounds like a turbine. I love it.

charliemike

Noise should not be the only requirement for an exciting race, IMO.

I like this idea. In some ways it reminds me of the Formula 500 races I saw at Mid-Ohio.

Costco

Sound isn't the only thing, but it sure as hell plays a big part.

The smell is another underrated thing. But I'm one of those weird people that likes the scent of gasoline. I just don't go around huffing it.

srika

I too love the aroma of gasoline, especially race gas.

I also don't go huffing it though. :p

I have started to get a little ticked off by F1...toooo many regulations IMO...

the only rules should be 4 wheels, under 700kg (including driver), under 700HP....let the companies figure it out what tech and engine and stuff they want to use...
