Saw my seventh Veyron yesterday at Goodwood and i've been wondering who owns it; can't track the car down using a quick Google search and i have nether seen any pictures of it before. The regestration is 'BUG 1B', i'm thinking it might be a regular at Goodwood maybe if it's at a GRRC meet? Does anyone perhaps have any extra information on this actual car for me to see as i don't know a lot about this perticular example.
Thanks, Rob.

I popped in in the morning but it seemed quiet, not even sure what was on?

Hi guys, it turned up at precisely 10:55 and stopped around for about an hour or so i think. That's the one in the picture posted above, is it really Peter Saywell's or was that just a guess?

As far as I remember its been at most of his events at Goodwood, not sure many Veyron owners would use or turn up in their cars at that sort of event.

The owner isn't the geezer in the shell suit trousers walking towards it in the picture.

Saw the lovely BUG 1B in Haslemere High St this lunchtime where it was attracting many admiring glances. It was parked outside Classic Cookware (near Piza Express) in the Bus / Taxi bay. What I thought was just another interested old man in a red jumper with a camera coming to take a photo turned out to be a parking guy with the modern high tech ticketing machine. Luckily the driver, in jeans and blue t-shirt, was running up and across the road at the time and I think just avoided a ticket.http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/4.gif I snapped a low res pic on my old phone...

Nice to see this thread back again. This is the place?  Must've been quite a suprise seeing it in such a small area. The purple dot is where i saw it back in July (Goodwood).

Yes your iPod map is about right - if you want to see exactly then paste 51.088854, -0.708892 into google maps and go to street view and you can see the shops and the layby marked out for bus and taxi.
According to my phone picture taken at 12:06 today, Saturday 22 Sept 2012.
I was chatting to a teenage chap who was taking pictures of it with a proper camera and we were wondering at the time if it was connected with Top Gear at Dunsfold (not far away), and if one of the Top Gear team were in the cafe, but apparently not.
As someone else said to me at the time "a rare sight around here".
Cheers..
