I dont think that you can get any better than that.
Just started saving up for one, should take only about 500 years till i will be able to afford one though.

I saw a orange and black Maybach there at the weekend with the numberplate 666. Wonder if it's the same person?

Last weekend they had an article in the paper about how the King of Bahrain brought the london traffic to a standstill with a 13 car entourage for his son's Birthday (the crown prince)....one his gifts to him was an orange and black veyron. May be that one that you saw.

Yeah, have to agree, but who said the rich ever had taste?

Blue & Black, or Silver & Black look best IMO, or Black, Black could look very nice too.

Would need a Euro Millions big Jackpot to have one of them, fingers crossed

Just been catching up with the last few series of Top Gear (yes I know, bit behind here ) and one thing that struck me about the Veyron test / race from Italy to the UK was you never heard the thing

In (for example) the SLR to Scandinavia race you could hear the engine growling away as the car accelerated away from the camera. One of those appears where I live occasionaly and I have to say when the bloke floors it the noise is amazing

However in the Veyron you didn't seem to get any sense of there being 1000 brake being unleashed

I'm sure that those that bought one won't be too dissapointed though, what a car
