| Mikeys' BUGATTI VEYRON adventure Yesterday still hasn't quite sunk in fully yet  & my internal organs certainly havn't recovered My customer had asked me to come with him to help plan the extras on his Veyron. We started the day at Liverpool John Lennon Airport in a private jet   Due to French strikes we went over Holland & Belgium. I was surprised at the small size of the Bugatti factory & showroom, but what a class place. We had full access to the factory & I was able to look closely at partly built cars & parts of cars Here is the little engine  How does that monster fit in that little car?? How about a little disc   & heres one being built  The final result is stunning  How much are these  Last edited by mikeythemini; Mar 29th, 2006 at 05:28 PM. |

| Prospective buyers were taken out by ex French racing star Pierre Henry for 30 minutes, with a chance to drive themselves. There were 2 demo cars available. There is no cover on the engine due to the huge heat created      Last edited by mikeythemini; Mar 29th, 2006 at 05:33 PM. |

| The best bit of the day: He took me out in one!!  I won't repeat the speeds we hit but it was by far the fastest I have ever travelled.I asked if I could & they told me to get in, as we were about to drive off, my customer stopped us & told Pierre to scare the s*** out of me It is difficult to describe the experience, the acceleration is amazing & totally seamless, you cannot feel the gear changes. The progress along a country lane with overtaking was breathtaking & the cornering speeds unbelievable, but then came an even more impressive bit....... the braking he hit the brakes hard & I felt like my guts had carried on without me It does 0 - 60 mph and back to 0 in under 5 seconds!!!!!A short motorway blast confirmed the how civilised the car is - you can hold a normal conversation as very high speed as the cabin is so quiet. He had another surprise for me - taking the car to a runway he waited until we were 'flying' then said it is such a great car that you can drive with no hands! & proceeded to take both hands off the wheel & stamp on the brakes It again stopped before my internal organs & never moved from the white line.Me in the car   Last edited by mikeythemini; Mar 29th, 2006 at 05:52 PM. |

| Hope you didn't mess all over the seats.... I heard (think it was Top Gear) that the tyres are £4000 each !!!! There's only one tyre capable of the Veyron's top speed - but you gotta pay for it! You know we are all jealous, but then with your reputation, you deserve it. Nice one mate. |
