Top Gear

*cough* you had InMe (shite), Muse and Limp Bizkit in your sig when you were busy insulting my musical tastes.

Anyway, want a fight, take it somewhere else (or PM, dont really care). Let us grown ups talk please.

yep gota agree inme are shite, muse are class tho and limp bizkit are ok, but past it. You say your grown up, but one question meant with no offence is are you really above 14 and listen to HIM. Because round here i have never met anyone other than bam loving/him 12-14 year olds.

=P

No offence taken, because that is where most people heard of HIM. But no, im 21 and had RazorBlade Romance before Bam had heard of HIM during the Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights years. You can see a million heartagrams walking about on skate kiddies who watched Jackass, but it doesnt mean they like the music, there just there for the image.

There was me thinking this was a tread for Top Gear?????

Why dont people just understand that people has different tastes, if some 40 year old still wants to listen to the Spice Girls then so be it. What right does anyone have telling someone else that their music taste is wrong!?

anyway back to this

Hmm... from that angle it kinda looks like a lady-bird.

yeah, but tell me you dont want it now

I'd stick it on Ebay tbh.

It looks slightly like that Ford Street Ka

Crap colour there I have to say, the one Clarkson was driving looked a lot better

I'd consider ebaying it, but like Clarkson, i wouldnt want to give up that power.

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

No. I think its ugly too. But its still stunning in a different way

How the hell they managed to get 10 radiators in the bloody thing among the 4 turbo chargers is beyond me

Ive always preffered the red version, though Jezza's was very cool.

I fact I think is great, and threw at a mate at college who said a Mclaren F1 is still better:

Both the Veyron and F1 can be at a standstill, the Veyron can let the F1 get to 120 before it starts moving and still will beat it to 200. I would have thought it'd be really heavy, but with acceleration like that, it cant be that heavy.

Also, how many rpm is the engine it, I missed it in the show.

---

not sure on the rpm, but 0-60 = 2.5 seconds! holy moly!

RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Well if the rev-counter was telling the truth on the shots they kept showing of it, it's about 10,000 :P

I was thinking that, but the bottom number was 1001, and it has 1001bhp, and Jezza could see how much hp he was using, so im guessing its a metre which shows how much horses you are using.

---

The counter was a render, and it was of the BHP

That counter is in the car though I believe - there was another car in the recent past that had one too, but I've no idea what now.

I don't think it'll rev that much to be honest. It's full of turbo's, is around 8-litre IIRC, and has 16 cylinders... it doesn't need to rev high. It won't actually be able to. It'll have torque everywhere.

//edit: yup - limit is only 6,300rpm, and you get immense "neck wrenching" torque at as low as 2,000rpm apparently.

I thought it said 16.4 on the engine - though a 16.4 l engine is closer to a spitfire engine size I guess!

A rolls royce had an BHP- omenter too, iirc.
