Woppum Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 ...Yawn, can I really be bothered to talk about this car They were all in HR Owens London Acton service centre . All the cars were owned by the same bloke, all had series 2 didgit number plates (not saying what they were but for example A1, A2 and A3). The owner was late thirties and had 4 boyguards with him. He was sat there reving it. It sounds like 8 1ltr saxo engines with a few turbos all pulling through a drainpipe exhaust. 2 of the cars were in the workshop, but I saw the one he was revving. It was 2 tone. one colour was a sort of gone off milk or cream and the other was a matt burgundy. Of course to Finnish it off, it had those Bugatti chromed wheels. Sorry people the car is grotesque. Apart from the fact it is the world biggest compromise, its butt ugly too! I didnt like this car before I saw it, but I saw the point in it. Now I know what it looks like in the flesh (a deformed beetle that has been injected with steroids), I think its just purely vulgar. If this is going to be the new pin up for all the under-informed kids, it is in my humble opinion a very sad scenario. People the supercar/hypercar has hit an all time low. I just hope other manufacturers dont follow suit. For me this is even more disappointing than the XJ220, much more disappointing. I could cry!!!

MOSE Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Agreed on it being as ugly as feck, but its unrivalled performance makes up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 [ QUOTE ] In a straight line [/ QUOTE ] Have you seen it put around a track yet ? Shouldn't you wait until its been stig'd before saying its only good in a straight line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I wont take any notice of the Top Gear lap times... I will however of Nurburgring/Hockenhiem times. But even if they are super quick and it does manage to beat the cars with half it power. Its still going to be an ugly heffalump made souly for the people that stay in the presidential suite in the Sail... Todays sighting just proved that for me...

MOSE Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Thought you might have been talking about the Type 41 Royales Wopps, then I could have understood the difference of opinion over lap times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 The SLR is slower round the ring than a stock CSL... The Veyron has even more weight and less controllable power. From mere lookings at the vulgar beast, it looks nothing like a car that would be good on the track.. I have strong feelings about this car, and for that I apologise. Maybe when you see it you will understand. It had purple suede interior and a diamond clock for fecks sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Not saying that the CSL is faster of course. Just saying that weight plays a big part in both fun and track times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the ner is a fecking ponce who probably has half a dozen large poodles with their own full carat diamond collars. And as for purple suede interior, thats criminal.

Woppum Posted July 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 And how much does 140ltrs of fuel weight? If the car has an unladen weight of 1890kg and has a person on board the car must be well over the 2 ton mark. That is Phantom territory (2400kg). How much fun would that be with a massive engine and hard suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
