ummm who wants a boring car to drive?!?!

The stig actually puts the new K ccx through a tire wall in the 8th season of top gear! And suggests that part of the reason is the standard models lack of a rear wing, so they (koionginonieniegegcencnegde) take it back slap a nice wing on and give it back to the stig who then sets the lap record of the Top Gear track on it!

And how much fun is a boring non responsive cage????? You want something thats got a little edge if you cant be on two wheels!

Fcukin cool shit though.

Dude, I was talking about the Atom, not the Veyron. That's a no-brainer!

Top end?
Bugatti - 370 k's, 400 with aero aids retracted.
Gixxer - 275, 280 k's.

Which one will be quicker to Coro on a Friday evening in summer?

And which one is better for taking that model you met at the opening function for your new superstore in Sylvia Park Mall down to your beach front 3,000 square foot 2 bedroom cottage at the Mount for the weekend?

I know what I'd rather do,but if I could afford a Bugatti why the fuck would I want to ride a bloody Suzuki?

I went to the unveiling of the Bugatti a couple of years back. I got a robot chubby when they started the thing up. They've had huge production problems which delayed delivery between 12 to 24 months.

What was even better was seeing all the old Bugatti's on display. Now they were cars.

Pleantly of people fit that catergory here.

Thought you shopuld know better and you did lol, missed the atom part!

It wasnt a stocker gixxer either... the race bike version.... Upmost respect for the Bugatti putting down 9.9 seconds for the 0-100-0 time... even more impressive is the A1GP's time of 8.8 seconds... I seem to remember the Mclaren GTR doing 0-100-0 in 10.1 seconds which is also fucking fast...

The Bugatti is a work of art... There will never be another car like it, and the price wont ever depreciate on it either... If i had the money i would have one... But since i dont ill stick with bikes, and if i had a little bit spare i would go for a Atom...
