Looks like it might be a UK car judging by the yellow rear number plate (can't see if it's RHD) and UK style road signs. B 375 near Chertsey?
I looked it up too....
I wonder who it was though. Could be a footballer I suppose, but being Surrey its more likely to be a very rich individual from the City. Lets see I suppose, but looking at the photos its mainly the front but it looks like the back has had a prang too.
Imagine getting smacked by one of those. Just think of the conversation with your insurer - "Yes, my car is a bit of a mess, but the other car, you wont believe it"....

Where's the "Awww what a shame you bent your car, easily done, at least you're ok, hope you get it fixed soon" brigade now then?
(a) Some young lad t
ts his Nova, there's photos all over here and people queuing up to point and laugh and go "well that's another banger of the road then hahaha". Not to him it isn't.
(b) Some more mature person who has bought something only few can afford, tts it and we queue up to point and laugh and go "Rich tt, serves him right for showing off".
And the rest of us drive about getting worried about damage to our P&J, polishing it if somebody farts in its general direction, totally blind to the fact that most of the people in group (a) see us as members of group (b). It's all relative.
Regardless of what group you're in, a hypocrite is a hypocrite.
Bloody disgusting.

Couldn't agree more andrew!
It doesn't matter if you don't like the choice the owner made for his car, I would guess he wouldn't make the same choice as you lot either. A accident to any car is a shame, just because it is a very expensive one does not mean it is funny, sounds like the little green monster is coming out here??????
Get a grip guys, give the poor man some sympathy!

Sorry, but I have serious Bugatti issues. Megalomaniacal manoeuvring by VW executives wearing tight suits with too much aftershave has simply created a racing lorry, which is the antithesis of the light and nimble racing cars built by Ettore. It may be an automotive achievement, but it is not a Bugatti.

"You are not alone,
I am here with you..."
I have to say that I am absolutely appalled at the reactions of a couple of so-called Pistonheaders on here.
To say that you are glad to see a car, any car, involved in an rta is absolutely disgusting and makes me feel sick to think that people get off on things like this.
You are the same people (I use the word people in the loosest sense) that will log on to the wrecked exotics website and chuckle to yourself at somebody elses misfortune.
Disgusting.

Good point well made.
Has the OP put also any thought into the fact that someone may have been hurt in this crash?

Anyone getting off on a road traffic accident is pretty weird IMO..
Oh come on, you could crash it into a wall at 150MPH and I suspect you'd have little more than a cricked neck.
Why do you think that? I guess that in the scenario of crashing into a wall at 150 mph there would be very rapid deceleration with the potential to cause very serious injuries. Do you disagree?

I think all of you people Veryon bashing need to leave PH now... if you don't even like this car a little then I can't see how you're petrol heads, and just for taking delight in someone crashing a car means I think you need to visit a morality workshop sharpish.
The thing has 8 Litres, 4 turbos and loads of power, regardless of weight, VW posing or anything else it's a great car.

I had this discussion with a lad in work just the other week. He found it deeply ironic that someone so in to cars and petrolveined could hold my opinion on this one. The Veyron is a car I would most definately NOT like to own.
I dont find them good looking.
I am not overly impressed by its power figures.
I find them little more than an exercise in self indulgence by engineers who have mastered the art of obtaining ridiculous sign off from management.
However, shame on those who were happy at this sight, thats someones pride and joy, you shouldnt be laughing at their misfortune.

Would you like a cup of tea and a little chat?
No-one's glad that the driver crashed I suspect. However many will join me in the opinion that "It couldn't have happened to a nicer car" I hate the Veyron in the same way I despise the BMW Mini, the Bentley range (excluding the Arnarge), and the reason I have just a little difficulty liking the "Lardo". When I were a lad, a manufacturer's history was reflected in the models it made, nowadays a badge is little more than an expensive styling component on an entirely alien vehicle.

My apologies, feel free to psychologically embellish some smileys all over it.

Okay, to clarify.
Few are happy that a car was crashed.
Several are happy that if a car had to be crashed it were that one.
