Remember that thread (maybe Haz's) about a guy who bought all these supercars so that he could "share" them with the public. He said himself, he will never drive any of them images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

I like the "- No visible rust" note. I should certainly hope not, what with the car being made of carbon fiber!

Don't cars just become bad by standing still for a long time? I hope at least they let the motor run for a couple of hours every month...

That sounds crazy. Some poeple just got too much money on their hands while the others are dying because of hunger or myself have to wait for a fu(king bus in cold nights. WTF

I read an article about this in a German car mag a couple of days ago.

You can only buy a Veyron if Bugatti deems you worthy. This is somewhat similar to the policy of Ferrari with their supercars. E.g. you were only able to buy an Enzo directly from Ferrari, if you're a respected customer. But just about anybody can now buy an Enzo, if the intitial buyer wants to sell it.

But with Bugatti Veyron it's different. Before buying it, you have to sign a 5-page contract. Among other things it says, that you have to contact Bugatti, when you decide to sell the car. Bugatti reserves the right to buy the car from you, to avoid a purchase by the "wrong" person. That way the Veyron remains exclusive.

Is that so? Cool. I like that. That is justice for those who cant afford it, because that means there are billionares who cant get something what they want with their money. I really like that. These cars should and are much more than a status symbol. This I approve. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

BTW it says that the lambo is in Italy, but under metallic paint it reads: Ja
