Been over and photographed it for him this morning, some pics if anyone is interested...
Great shots.

Not so keen on the RS-XF wheels but then I guess he has to put them on something if he wants to sell them to other Veyron owners smile

Surely if you were going to buy a Veyron you'd want OEM Bugatti wheels (that are designed to cope with the speed and power of the car) rather than some knock offs from a business based on Canal road in Bradford?

IIRC the real wheels cost £46,000 a set + tyres so I would expect them to come with the car.

And need replacing every few years IIRC?

Something out of the ordinary today, on Methley Rd in Castleford, spotted a maroon 1969 Opel GT! DVLA claims it is silver though...

Nice car, but looks like a candidate for the bad parking thread!

Yeah I thought that too, though I can understand why people do this in nice cars, but there are ways of parking away from other cars without taking up multiple spaces.

No isue with that, looks like the car park is 80% empty, so he/she isn't going to cause an issue being there.

Chap who lives on one of my dog walking routes has just replaced his 458 with a Hurucan - Looks lovely. I've got a photo, but it's through the gap in his fence so looks a bit stalkery - I won't post it!

Whilst I agree and wouldn't take up 2 spaces I understand why some do it, no matter where I've parked my cars some bugger always parks next to them.

All 3 of my old M3s have been subject to parking dints some so deep they needed a new panel, my old 911 was tted right in front of me and the guy just drove off, same for the Z4C even the new M5 has already been scratched in a car park.

Drives me bloody mad!

Yeah, that is a very fair point. The carpark was indeed very empty, so it's kinda fair enough.

I totally understand how you feel, I'm not against people with nice cars parking like that, I know if it happened to me I would be equally annoyed, regardless of what car I have. Some people are just so careless and inconsiderate. I did see an RS4 in a carpark parked up normally, and the person in the A3 next to it knocked their door into it, luckily I don't think much damage was done, but even still. That's really unlucky, sorry to hear, hate seeing things getting damaged like that.

To be honest with you, Id be surprised if that car has ever even hit 70mph, let alone 250+. If its not sat in a lock-up its sat outside a busy place where he knows it will get photographed. Its basically a (slowly) moving advert for his company. Anytime Ive seen it moved its been on a transporter. You could stick a set of pram wheels on it for all the driving it does.

Very tidy bright blue mk2(?) Escort followed me through Hedon East Yorks about 20 minutes ago. Made a nice job of it!
