Nice car - with his pre-1973 silver on black highly illegal rear number plate - like if I owned one of those I'd give a flying fuck either

Bet he never gets pulled for that blatantly illegal plate either, but if I put it on my 3door I would get tugged more than a rich businessman in bangkok.

Every single veyron ive seen in pics seem to be illegal and have no front number plate. And 90% of them ive seen also have an illegal rear plate, like this one.

most of the Veyrons in UK, are not actually UK cars, probably just here for a day or two while the owner gets a gay hairdo or something hence the wrong front and rear number plates

that car belongs to the footballer
as for the missing front plate 99% of enzo owners dont run a front plate.......whats a Ł40? fine to those chaps
and the police usually stop them to look at the car and most let them go anyhow

go to the camera settings, and change the resolution to the highest available on the list, then the pics will come out bigger when you take them and upload them to your computer

I've seen 4 of em now !

Even tho there's only supposed to be 12 in the country (minus 1 now).

All at the same place, A217 Surrey, Rowmans - They had the red/Black one which got smashed, White/Black one, All black & they had a Blue/Black one.

They got the all Black & White/Black at the mo alone with a Gollardo, Enzo, DB9 Le-mans car, Carrera GT, Mac-Merc & if they still got it a Orange Zonda !

keep tellin me missus to get job there & find out who keeps the keys

It's bad when they have to put the 360 Rarri's outside on the forecourt with all the "average" cars they have ! GT3's, M3's, M5's, M6's Range Rovers, SL55 AMG's etc.

I used to work for Interlink and had to deliver to Maclaren's headquarters in Woking. Sometimes i went inside and thay had race-prepped F1's in the reception. It was like Skynet/cyberdyne from T2 in there all sparkling clean and even the grass looked absolutely perfect on the surrounding gardens.
If you've ever reversed a van around 10 SLR's and carbon chassis' up on ramps and managed to avoid the sets of slicks all stacked up and then managed to get round the several Maclaren artics then you'll know how to manouvre under pressure .
I've got shitty quality pictures of the inside of Maclaren, all lined up in the factory, 4 sitting in the hall waiting to be delivered. I'll try to dig them out.

Can't see what the fuss is about myself, so many years after the ultimate F1 and it is still not as good just a tiny bit faster, and a lot more to go wrong.
Rather have a McCLAREN F1 any day, or a 34 DUISENBERG.

The veyron is truely an awsome machine. I would lend my bird to anyone for the chance to even just sit in one and drive it.


The veyron and the Enzo are by far the best machines alot of money can by.

cant believe the shine on the first pic though.
