Someone just handed me a copy of the sun which just after the tits page has an article about this crash, apparently the owner had it 1 week and paid £935,000 for it.

Who cares really, cmon it's and 830k car, the guy may have paid 100k over for it and he may not have, he may have had it a week or a month either way I bet he's gutted.

But the tits page WAS fab :p

Wanted the car since first saw it, time to run to the scrap yard that going to get it :p

Anyways, the problem with these expensive cars is that most people that buy them are complete twats who cant drive and cant control the power that the engine can give out. He probably would have blown the engine within 6months of he hadnt crashed it

If it had been me i wouldn't have been doing 100 down a 40 road in the wet in a car worth more than most houses.

I also love the fact that in all the comments i've seen here and elsewhere people seem more concerned for the car than they do for the pregnant woman. TBH this twat should be banned from driving for life and have his insurance fail to pay for the car as it appears to all be his fault. :)

There are 12 of these cars in the UK, we have thousands of pregnant women! :p

The news article said the pregnant woman was fine? Why would we be concerned.

The car on the other hand is anything but fine :( I'm going to have nightmares now. That's one less Veyron. My chances of owning one were slim enough, this doesn't help.

Maybe Bugatti should be more careful who they sell them to then :)

do you think maybe a certain type of person is going to be mroe attracted to buying or hiring these cars, i mean mister joe sensible who doesnt speed and drives carefully in the bad weather will probably opt for a car that is safer and more comfortable with a reasonable insurance premium...

possibly (and i dont want to cause a riot here) the type of person who would get a bugatti or other highly expensive supercharged erection on wheels is the kind pof person who would be more inclined to drive wrecklessly?

just a theory, could be wrong but to me it seems feesable

Esteq, this car is a wonderful piece of engineering. I really dont see it as a penis extention at all. It's amazing, 8 Radiators to cool the engine, it looks fantastic, its faster than a F1 racing car and even at a top speed of 253 mph (407 kph) it handles beautifully. At 150 mph its needs 240 odd horse power but top get the next 100 on top takes another 700 hp.

I don't think you have any concept of what it takes to push the envelope to produce a machine like this. Why build a car like this you may ask? Why do anything? Why climb a mountain or race around the world? Its all about pushing the envelope of us as a species and what we are capable of building.

Lol, just read that back. Reads like a lot of pretentious bolocks but its truely how I feel about machines like this car.

Bought by a man who runs a chain of car bodypart dealerships and smashed by his idiot brother :)

At least it went out in a blaze of glory (well not really, it went out with a whimper and a bang) and didn't have the life of the supercars i see every day round where i work in Knightsbridge/kensington being driven at a snails pace throguh traffic fucking up their engine/clutch/gearbox by bored housewives and impotent city traders.

aaaaand yet another case of someone misunderstanding what i said:

Ez said this:

a bugatti or other highly expensive supercharged erection on wheels <-- this is what i said, i did not say "penis extention" i said "supercharged erection on wheels" what i meant by this was that is is a god damned sexy bit of kit and any gal would love to ride it.

just cos im a gal doesnt mean i look at boys toys and see them as juvenile and pointless.. mostly i look at them and go "whoa cool can i play with it now???"





im seriously considering giving up tbh.

where the fuck have you ever seen a 150bhp nova ?!?!

@swords: It was near Chertsey meight, my mates dad said he saw it on the sunday raging around.

The guy who crashed it actually rented it from the owner. He payed £20,000 a DAY just to drive it.

How sad :<

Take it easy Esteq, no need to throw a wobbly. Thought you were a bit more easy going than this :fluffle: . You called the car a 'supercharged erection' which implies alot of the usual things associated with supercars and the 'male ego'.

lol. Can remember some years back a trip to Micheldeiver Tyres and watching some woman argue over the prices. She was driving a 80,000 GBP Porche and moaning about 160 GBP for the cheapest tyres they had, that would fit. Bloody tyres on my Audi were 140 GBP!

Must be really annoying in London seeing all the supercars and 4x4's not being put to good use. At least we get to take the 4x4's out in the desert for a bit dune/wadi bashing.
