Recession? What recession?

I'm sure you'll sleep better tonight, knowing that the exhorbitant price you're paying for petrol these days are at least going to a good cause…
Check this out! It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally). And make no mistake, that is NOT stainless steel, people, it is WHITE GOLD!

I'm sure you could feed a few yourself with some of your income you spend on non essentials.

would be nice to drive for a bit, but tbh looks pretty much like a boy racer car that's been over done with chrome.

I would be quite worth your while keying it, you'd have more value in the residue on your key than whats in your wallet. :pac:

What's this got to do with a recession? That photo is years old! :rolleyes:

If you had the billions, I'm sure you'd spend it too!

I'd be surprised if it was white gold and not just chrome!
As for the biofuel, a lot of the unleaded available (Maxol and Topaz here for example) today is made from a proportion of ethanol derived from natural sources => biofuel so whilst it may sound green, its not!


Anyhow, I see your SLR and raise you a veyron...

NOw does this need a clux fapacitor?
BUGATTI PUR SANG can be translated two ways, as either "pure blood" which we'll deem as bad, or as "thoroughbred," which we'll let slide. You are looking at the Veyron Pur Sang which sports an all-aluminum body shell, a carbon fiber bonnet cover (plus other scattered bits) and no paint whatsoever. Besides looking rather, well, frigging hot, all the shiny bits shave over 200 pounds off the Veyron's porky more than 2-ton curb weight, making the fastest car in the world even faster. No word on the price increase, but if you have to ask you'll never be allowed back in a Bugatti showroom.

why would you want one? sure they keep releasing new 'special editions'... better off with a standard Veyron (if there is such a thing) spec'd to your liking. Or a real car, like a McLaren F1

Mylesie wrote: »

Again, old news. This was released a good while ago, with a price tag of around 5m - there's since been around 7/8 other special editions.

Oh, and the Veyron isn't the fastest car in the world, the SSC Ultimate Aero is

Personally I never really liked the Mc F1,theres something about how it looks I just dont like, just my own taste I guess, not questioning the engineering or how brillantly its designed .

I agree with ya on the " standard " Veyron option, all and all it woul dbe the best option as a lot of manufactures release limited editions and charge excessive amounts.

Personally if I won the euromillions Id be looking at a Lambo Mucri SV as my 1st purchase.:pac:

smash

Agreed on the Mucri SV... it's the first car I'd buy. Unfortunately they're not taking orders any more so you wouldn't have the pleasure of speccing one yourself

GavRedKing

1. Big V12
1. Bright orange paint job
1. Huuuuuuge spoiler

There you go, theres my Lambo spec'd

smash

nope you're wrong! :P

GavRedKing

:cool:

Well played Sir. That green is mental.

If I ever have the option,il take one in green and the other in orange, kind of like TicTacs :pac:
