Looked real good going up the hill and had a long chat with the rep, Peter. First one delivering next month, they will make 15 per year and they have 1 1/2 years wait already.

Yes - have to agree that it looked good (if a little anonymous) and in it's element as it followed the Veyron up the hill at the afternoon run.

Still, better looking in the flesh than several on that run IMHO (Aston Martin 0ne-77 anyone?)

there isnt a Sunoco stand. I was in the assembly area of the F1 paddock. In the corner of it is two white Iso containers for fuel storage and we do the refueling there. Was there most of the day and will be again tomorrow.

Sorry Ian, we had a look for you but as you know, it can be almost impossible to find people!

This seems the best place to post this. Not the smoothest video I've taken, but it was a bit violent!

Sounds like it has bags of power and looks really quick! The gears sound longer than our cars, I miss the long gearing in my old tvr.

How does it feel as a passenger when he gave it the beans? Worth the money?

It's a very long time since I've been in a car at thought 'bloody hell this is quick'! When it hooks up in second it really compresses you into the seat. One of those experiences where you have to remember to take a breath.

Worth the money? Yeah, I say so. Due to Mr BMW running out of talent I had a fair amount of time to nose around the other cars in the top holding area. Almost all were stunning quality as is the Noble, but most with eye watering numbers attached, generally making the M600 almost bargin like.

I'll get some pictures up of it and the others later. The Huayra was totally bonkers. Horacio himself was in the holding area and seemed a nice chap. The car does look like he's got every clever or nice thing they've ever made and stuck it on it though.
