Yep probably the most famous Veyron in the world.
Everyone I know including myself has seen it when visiting BH Putrid, but at least you can drive fast enough that no one can see the awful paint job. |

the art work is good, but i think i`d much rather a scenery mural or a hot sheila or a GT335 than an old fart with a beard.

What can I say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, that is crap and looks it.

This is the one he had a few years ago when I was there.
 You cant even go in his shop without putting down $1000 deposit, and a pair of socks costs $400.

Amen to that. I want an F350 dually with a 6.7 powerstroke King Ranch. Had use of one when I used to go to the USA every couple of weeks, it was a fantastic truck. Used to tow a several thousand pound trailer as if it had nothing on the back, and drove amazingly well. God I miss America, but don't miss being accosted in the streets by homeless people (more now) and in every Walmart with people trying to sell their food stamps. As for the Bugatti, WTF is Sam Elliot doing on the bonnet? Is that car a homage to the movie "mask"?

Is this the one that parks on Rodeo Dr all the time.
When I was there a year ago It had a Montana Rego plate "BIJAN" Don't remember that paint job on the front either. I refused to go into a dealership because I didn't want to see how much we were getting ripped off over here. As for the disabled parking bays, maybe it's just their parking skill that is disabled. |

Anyone with any taste knows that the Veyron is an ugly car full stop. Performance and looks are two different things.
In this case, looks are objective - not subjective. They are ugly cars.

Love the US.
This is what Australia needs..... This 6.7L diesel engine can tow up to 24,500 lbs in one haul, and it isn’t a GMC. It fuels our cars and heats our homes, but getting it out of the ground requires the toughest men and machines. Ford visits the oil and gas fields to see why the Ford Super Duty is the overwhelming choice of guys who literally dig deeper than just about anyone else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0JSr...e_gdata_player Oh yeah! Kind of makes all our dual cabs over here look like kids toys. |

Don't visit new car yards in the USA...that way leads to madness and frothing at the mouth when you think of what we pay for similar stuff back home...

They are an ugly car but it wasn't made for looks. Was made for 2 reasons. To see if they could make a car with 1000hp, and to break the fast production car record. They made both. They car looks the way it does for the best air line over and around the car, nothing more

I hate walking past this car every time I'm in Rodeo drive.
It's covered in fingerprints from tourists touching it and leaning all over it. Cars shouldn't be touched! lol
