mrbeige 0 Posted November 13, 2009 So he can afford $1.2million for the car but not the $150 for a fitted handsfree kit, or indeed the $30 for a bluetooth headset....c0ck :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is really one for the 'vent your spleen' thread. Its just the air of superiority that they have that cheeses me off and like you say they cant fork out another 150 for a handfree or Parrot :bad-words: Bet they've never been in a Corrado, is what i say :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's such a tragedy to see such a marvellous achievement of engineering ruined by an idiot who's incapable of driving. I wonder what he's going to feel like when his insurance company rejects his claim because he wasn't paying attention or in full control of the car at the time (apparently startled by a low flying pelican whilst making a mobile phone call and driving too quickly) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Tom 0 Posted November 15, 2009 I'm not an expert in Veyron's but from what I remember the car has to be stopped and put in "high speed" mode for the spoiler to go as high as it is in the video - *edit* - I was wrong, did some research and apparently the spoiler retracts when put into high speed mode... It would seem to me that the driver was going a little too quickly for his driving talent :( Such a shame, and it'll definitely be beyond repair, salt water will have got into everything, and I bet the engine has ingested its fair share of it too - anyone fancy a W16 with broken con-rods? :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 15, 2009 I think as Richard Hammond said in a review of some supercar in an episode of Top Gear, "driving ability is not directly proportional to the size of your wallet" :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted November 15, 2009 There is a Pur Sang edition of the Veyron at The NEC Classic Car Show - I couldn't get too near it because of the CROWDS of people mobbing it, but it looked pretty awesome! I think it might be this actual car -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3P7iBaZ7K4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It actually looks like they just wrapped a chain through the rear left wheel :nono: :shock: To be fair it is fooked well and truely so that's the least of the problems :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swompy 0 Posted November 15, 2009 After reading hat happend and watching that vid I'm starting to think this was staged or an advertising stunt. :ignore: Is'nt it a bit strange that the person who crashed the Veyron is all so a owner of a company that restores wrecked exotics cars and secondly what are the chances some one was filming it at the exact time it crashed :scratch: Is it just me or does it all sound to much of a coincidence :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might be mistaken but there is no sign of said bird, and there are no obvious sudden swerves from the veyron, it just drifts into the lagoon. Strange indeed.
