Vulgar, really vulgar. Earlier Veyrons seemed rounded, classier, somehow.

I think the Chiron is magnificent. I still like the Veyron too.

+1 - the word Fugly was made for that monstrosity IMHO of course

[lucido grigio]

I was wrong about another photo shoot,there's a posh do going on inside tonight.

The Chiron takes centre stage in the showroom and the boring old 918 and CGT Porsches are outside......

My invite clearly got mislaid by Royal Mail.

Somehow I'd say a lot of the design is function rather than form. Look at something like the EB110.

Oh absolutely, understand that's the case, but still one needs to look at it as well

If I were RR's PR dept. I'd be having words about who takes what where.This image doesn't align with its target customer base.

Really?! You think any prospective customer is worried about seeing a car the same as their's parked up outside a house worth less than the car when it's in camouflage and quite obviously under the oversight of an employee?

Oh I'd bet you a virtual pint that RR's PR dept. would prefer not to have that photo posted on global public view.

I certainly wouldn't call a Veyron, classy.

It’s not a supercar, but I followed a 67 plate Vignale out of my works car park last night. Presumably a fairly rare spot?

The rear Vignale badge was anything but classy, looked a bit like one of those knock off chrome Sport badges from eBay.

Rarity, you say? How about an MG6 Turbo:

[lucido grigio]

A Zenvo

There's 3 of them within a mile of me. Not exactly rare.

Meh, there's three 458 Speciales parked next to each other on the previous page.

Shmee just did a review on that Zenvo. Seems a nice bit of kit but way out of my price range.

[stichill99]

Surely the Zenvo can't be that expensive? Fibreglass kit cars are usually pretty reasonable!

Who dismisses every other sub £20k car to buy chinese MG, they drop about £10k as soon as you drive them off the forecourt.

smells like an 'innovative' company car fleet manager for a local firm. I once went to a Jag dealership where all the salesman were driving around in stty MGs like this. They must have been gutted when handed the keys.

That reminds me of my first repping job back in about 1992. A whole group of us started at the same time with a few days product training etc. We knew that they had ordered a fleet of brand new company cars for us and that they'd be delivered to the office when the training was complete, so everyone arrived by train.

The signs were promising: the existing company fleet consisted of everything from Rover 400, Cavalier GLS 2.0 16V, Mercedes C class, BMW 5 series right up to Audi S2 and Porsche 928 for the Directors.

You can therefore imagine our collective horror when we looked out of the window and saw an endless line of Vauxhall Astra 1.7D Merits arriving in the car-park. These were the lowest of the low in true poverty spec: no turbo, no power steering, no air-conditioning and wholly unsuitable for the life of travelling sales rep with just 3000 mile service intervals. Awful.

Also belongs in the crap numberplates thread.

[LotusOmega375D]

How does that number plate even work?

XZ 3NVO

That's not a DVLA issue number.
