That bugatti with the orange wheels looks horrid.
Er, thats one of 5 Veyron Supersport World record editions. The fastest Veyron of them all as standard supersports are restricted unlike that WRE version which is not.

That actual car was used in the filming of Iron Man 3.

Fair enough. I wasn't commenting on the performance or anything as I know nothing about the Veyron models. I'm just going purely on looks... if I could afford one it definitely wouldn't be that one I picked.

You may not like it in a picture, but if you see a WRE in the flesh I'm sure you'd be impressed. It has a very serious presence which you don't quite get with a standard SS.

I had the privilege of seeing that F40 last summer outside the Trafford Centre. Imagine my shock as i was waiting at the traffic lights only for it to drive past in front of me. Almost crashed trying to follow it into the petrol station!

It was absolutely filthy. Certainly no garage queen. Sad that it's the case really, but it's fantastic to see cars like that being used in a way they were designed to be used. I know if I was fortunate enough to be able to own anything like that it would be enjoyed in rude health. Cars like that should be shared with those of us who can only aspire to own them!

Such presence and the only one to leave the factory in yellow I believe.

Anyway, I digress. Great pictures thumbup

Close! hehe it was just after the Gumball according to the owner. I didn't know about it at the time otherwise I'd have gone along! Still, I saw what is to date only my second F40 on the road so I was quite pleased regardless.

What a cracking turn out, in some lousy looking weather. I'm sure that lot would look fantastic plodding down the motorway together.

The laws for number plates don't apply to him. Whether its bodging them or just leaving them off completely.

In real life it looked awesome. I loved it.
Agreed, it doesn't work in photos but has a real presence in the flesh. I didn't do a very good job of keeping it secret if you sneaked in wink

I was fortunate enough to have a red f40 follow me for about 30 mins through the countryside a few months ago. Admittedly during a scd drive to top 555 cars. But looking in my mirror and seeing that made me think " wow not everyday you see that!!
