Thumbs up A Veyrons moved in just up the road from me

Was out running a couple of nights ago, and heard a rumble approaching from the rear, and was suprised to see a Bugatti Veyron slowly making its way down our road.

He turned up a hill towards a Golf Club and I followed him on foot (he was crawling along at 6mph or so) as its part of my running route.

Parked it in a garage near the Golf Club. Saw him again yesterday.

Absolutely stunning car in the flesh!

Anyone else seen one in the wild as yet?

Basically what your trying to say is you raced a Veyron on foot and caught it!

Get your name down for the 2012 Olympics you'll be a hero

The one that was crashed was out that way too IIRC?

We have a supercar dealership near us, quite often see Enzos and SLRs... the salesmen take them out into town on a Saturday night...

Saw my first Veron on the M25/M4 junction last Weds evening.

Sounded awsome.
