Got a tip for us?

That's gotta be because they've taken deposits on it but they still haven't actually given any of them to their owners because they're having serious problems with that whole 400km/h top speed. It is pretty hefty considering a 747 takes off at 290km/h!
If I ever wanted anything, right now I want that car. I wanna race a 747mad jew said:That's gotta be because they've taken deposits on it but they still haven't actually given any of them to their owners because they're having serious problems with that whole 400km/h top speed.

Just imagine the insurance though... I'm paying £1.5k a year on my little hatchback!!

Yeah, they've been taking deposits on the Veyron for a while now. I know they've got several test mules already. I've seen footage of one at Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway), where the driver almost stuffed it into the wall. I've also heard that a lot of the people who put deposits down have withdrawn.
Maybe the original poster was talking about another Buggati or something??

some of you might find this interesting:
How would you define the most amazing production car in the world? Would it be:
* The car with the most horsepower?
* The car with the fastest top speed and acceleration?
* The most expensive car?
At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:
* A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
* A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
* A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
* A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
* A price tag somewhere in the $1 million range.
In this article, we will take an in-depth look at this amazing automobile and see how it is possible to fit so much performance into a single machine. It all starts with the engine...
Veyron - how it works

now that im spoiled with the rear-mid engine, rwd, convertible configuration, with my mr2 spyder, i'f i wanted to feel i've gotten a better practical (budget wise) rare car i'd have to go with the lotus elise....
just got to sell one of my paintings for 40 grand or hell 20 even and i'd move over in a heart beat. if not that then one of those convertible z cars... thought, unfortunatly, it's front engine.

I love the lexus IS. I can't wait to see the new IS 350 IS 350
puckhead, I can't say I like the direction that Lexus are taking their range. I liked the old series GS and now they are looking more and more like Toyotas. The IS was just that, INTELLIGENT SPORTS, not a real luxury sports car. I am going to replace the IS200 with a 2004 GS300 in July, especially because my wife likes the added power of my car (182Kw) and we will need a larger car soon, because a bassinet won't fit in the IS without the passenger seat all thw=e way forward, and I am 6'3''. There is no problems in the Territory, but people from ATAU will know how attached to that car I am.
Devie, all Ford V8's in Australia have a 5.4 Litre V8, not a 5.2. Don't get me started on that (wife wouldn't let me get a XR8, so I had to get a Territory)

I love cars. I have read a lot of the car threads and it seems that there are a lot of people that dislike SUVs here. I know, my family's car line up isn't the most....fuel efficient.

> My dad has a 2003 Land Rover Discovery SE-7 V8 (dad)
> My Sister has a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport (sister)
> We also have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (Moms old car)

Personally, I dislike the X3. I think it looks like a shoe (yes a shoe) and the interior isn't anything special. I liked the X5 more but my mom liked the small size and better fuel economy of the X3.
I like the Discovery (even though most people don't). Even though it is boxy, has a very old looking dashboard, and gets about 14mpg, I think it is just an awesome car and I would happy to drive it as my first car if my dad wants to sell it.
My sisters Jeep is ok. She loves it but I would never want a Wrangler.
I like the Grand Cherokee. It is a good reliable car especailly compared to the Disco. I hate the new Grand Cherokee. It looks sooo bad. We're going to sell the Jeep though.
Generic Pics:
(Like this w/ the wood except ours has the rear air suspension button)
I love the Discovery too. LR screwed up with the LR3, I've only seen a few on the road. The Range Rover Sport also could have been better. It has almost the same dashboard as the LR3.
I see you are from CT. Are your parents a customer of the Land Rover of Farmington Valley Dealership (odd question)?

I dig the Audi TT wheels.. I am a VW driver myself
Nice A4 AudiGuy, what all have you done to it? and what wheels are those?
I am driving a 99 A4 currently and love, but have my sights set on getting a last-year bi-turbo S4 as soon as I graduate. For some reason they don't seem to be holding their value very well making them quite affordable at low milages, imagine that

Here's a couple pictures of my car - '99 Chrysler 300M - I've been contemplating the removal of the "Chrysler" letters on the sides as the chrome paint is coming off pretty badly - seems to be a common thing with all Chrysler/Dodge lettering on the side/rear of their cars.

Just watch out for those Hummers and large SUVs; they seem to have a hard time seeing bikes, scooters, pedestrians, small cars, etc ... they also seem to miss my finger as the pass by.
Toppa G's - how'd they let you get away with those custom plates???
... is it your birthday or something? You'd have a hard time explaining what it meant over here at the DMV; they're pretty keen to the sub-culture symbology.peace | neut
