Bugatti Veyron

yUDi · Post by **yUDi** » 06 Sep 2003, 06:22

This is the ultimate supercar. The engine designed by VW is a W16 (2 V8's).

The car has a top speed of 406 km/h and 0-100 in 2.9 seconds.
The most amazing thing is that it reaches 300km/h in 14 seconds.
The engine is 8 litres and the car has 7 gears. I need one of these.

Very nice indeed !

But, boetie, you are gonna cry when you touch the pedal... I can imagine a car of this calibre to suck the petrol out of your wallet

I can relate, cause I feel it when I touch the pedal of my 7 series beemer

I did a project on the Veryon about a year ago, when it was still in the prototype stage. Because of the emense speeds that the car can reach, they need specially made 21' tyres from Michelin (spelling!). They cost approx R12000 each! They're also "run flat" meaning you can still drive on them when they're flat!

Who would have thought that the ultimate road car was owned by VW!!!

Ha, I think Squatty's VW would probably shave this wildcat bald and while its at it probably castrate it as well!

But it is an absolute stunner in terms of beauty! 8O

PORSCHE, AH THE SWEET SMELL OF THE FINEST MAKE OF CAR EVER!!

Madgic · Post by **Madgic** » 10 Sep 2003, 00:00

Just for you, me darlin' . . .

Such is the stuff our dreams are made of, hey babe?!

NinjaTic · Post by **NinjaTic** » 10 Sep 2003, 07:47

When I'm a rich business man (one day!), I'll buy a porche and come and fetch you from the highest hill in durban, and we'll go for a ride, okay Magic?

Then maybe you take me for a ride on your bike?

Madgic · Post by **Madgic** » 10 Sep 2003, 23:57

Zheeeeesh, NinjaTic! You trust me that much?! I do a lot of scratching when I have a pillion - hope you're not too heavy!

Maybe it'll take too long to become a rich businessman, and besides, by then you'll have all the babes after your Body AND your money, so I won't stand a chance. Maybe I should borrow Liebs Porsche and take you for a burn, hmmmm?

NinjaTic · Post by **NinjaTic** » 11 Sep 2003, 07:35

Hey sounds good to me!

Hey Magic, do you ever attend the toy-runs that go from the Pavillion to the Harbour? I've been to one, and have seemed to miss out on the last two years. Are the toy-runs still going, if so, when does it take place? I really enjoyed the last one that I went on, even though I felt a bit small on my 250cc against the likes of the R1's and Harleys!!

You guys want the ultimate the car, why not try the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, now there is a car that oozes class

Ah Mr. Bond's car from Die Another Day... quite snazzy! Does it include the cloaking device, rockets and shotguns?

yUDi · Post by **yUDi** » 11 Sep 2003, 22:27

Did you know that the Vanquish was designed in India?

Madgic · Post by **Madgic** » 12 Sep 2003, 00:05

NinjaTic. I've only been on one Toy Run, about 2 years ago. I don't know if they still have them. What 250 have you got? I've got a BMW R69s - white, with a fairing. 1961 classic

My housemate has an R100RS and a 1953 R50/3 plus bits and pieces of other old bikes and cars. I wish I could put my car in the garage but there's only space for all the bikes. 2 garages is definitely not enough for us!

Seriously now, apart from dreamcars, what car would you buy for everyday use?

NinjaTic · Post by **NinjaTic** » 12 Sep 2003, 07:32

I have a Suzuki 250fm - It sounds really cool and looks like a 400, since it's a 250cc engine in a 400 frame!

I think I would buy an Audi for an everyday car, classy, but not too snobby that people feel affended

Thanks Madgic that made my day... (the porsche I mean)
