Default Veyron Roumer?

Now I don't know if this has been said anywhere in the forum, so sorry if it has, please direct me to the topic and i'll gladly apologise.. Also sorry if this is the wrong place to post too, i'm new to this forum =]

But, while filming season 11 i'm guessing it was, Top Gear stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond stayed at a hotel in Norwich called Dunston Hall, well anyway long story short my step-dad works there and claims he saw them, and Jeremy had himself a Veyron, which he said was his..

Now i'm hoping my step-dad wouldn't lie, but why wouldn't any of this of been on the latest season, even just him stating he's got one...

Has there been any news or other people claiming they've seen the same.. ??

Please feel free to laugh at me and tell me i'm crazy, or to help back me up on this! Many thanks,

Mol3.

Clarkson doesn't have a Veyron. I'm not saying your step-dad is a liar, but there must have been some misunderstanding or something, or a 'joke' from Clarkson saying 'yeah this is mine' randomly. Even if he had ordered one, he couldn't have gotten it so quickly...they take a long time to make them.

Filming season 11, huh? Well, considering we've already seen all of season 11, and no veyron..........

Maybe it was a different tall bloke with a beer belly........images/smilies/tongue.gif

Jeremy can't afford a Veyron. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Sounds like wires have been crossed somewhere along the line, and images/smilies/welcome.gif from me too. Nice to have a first post that makes sense. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I would have to agree with this.

However, if he were to be able to afford one, buy one, and already have possession, he BETTER GIVE IT TO THE STIG NEXT SERIES!!!!

They were probably at Dunston before flying the Spitfires at Duxford. And I'm willing to bet that Jeremy was joking with your step dad.

I've just realised... I can get a hefty discount at Dunston Hall - why wasn't I there when they were. GAH!

Aha my bad on the spelling mistake, but yeah I duno, I wasn't there so I can't confirm anything but this was awhile ago now, before the season actually started to be correct... I was guessing it was from the Alfa challenge seeing as they we're in East Anglia..

My step-dad did say there was a Veyron there though, he'd never really seen pictures of one before and he was describing parts of it like the back emblem, the EB thing...

Sounds like a typical Clarkson to be joking about, but still, why was there a Veyron there then... Oh I don't know!!

Whoops, I must have been spending too much time with American culture lately (I've started spelling colour "color" too). Thanks, I'll correct it.
