Hi - first one I've ever seen - a black and white Veyron parked up in Manchester this afternoon caused traffic jams and crowds to gather. I have some pics (if you want to see, tell me how to post them in a forum!). Registration BUL 5 . Any idea who owns that?

Ah, looks very much like it, and having read that thread I realise actually it might not be a good idea for the owner's name to be general knowledge! I was just interested - I'd just bought a couple of wedding rings in a nice jewellers, and the Bugatti owner was rumoured to have had a 'lock in' at the same place after I left.
The funniest bit was listenening to onlookers talking about it... 'It's a Bentley, yeah. They cost £8 million quid you know'....
Frankly I'd have been very nervous leaving it out of my sight, having seen the number of snotty kids who were smearing their greasy fingers all over it. Although, I guess, it's rare to have 100 caretakers ensuring nobody breaks into my car if I leave it parked in the street.

Could be Tim Cahills (Everton Footballer) as he's had one for a few months. Could be some other lucky buggers though!

yes that was the reg. on the one I saw.

There was another thread the other week with someone saying they saw a similar car parked up also in Manchester but he didn't get the reg. IIRC. Whoevers it is he certainly has a habit of parking in conspicuous places!

A Veyron to do the 'town shopping' is a bit like taking a space shuttle between London and Birmingham...

My friend who works in Manchester says this car virtually lives on the street, the past week he has seen it nearly every day.

Just had a call from a very excited mate to say check out Charnock Richard services right now if you want to see a Veyron - theres a Veyron, SLR, and 911 GT3 RS parked next to each other!

If they can afford one I doubt they care if it needs cleaning.

Its not really so wise to quote the registration plate either. Although it is less critical than the owners name, obviously.
