Have you even seen one in person? It is NOT a big car. I saw one in person in Chicago at GoldCoast Motors. It's NOT big. It is almost IDENTICAL in length to my 89 accord, about a foot wider, and 5" lower. Hence, it's smaller in almost every dimension to my 20 yr old honda coupe, except width.
You can call yourself a top gear fan when you admit how incredible one of the greatest cars in history is.
I've never shown any interest in anything automotive???? Are you kidding me? A good portion of the threads I've made have been about cars. I love cars. I breathe cars.
I'm sorry, but if I'm not a fan why have I had a TG sticker on my Accord for years?

Seen any of series 14? It's pretty awesome.


I just don't like the Veyron. It's done in for the sake of science and math. I don't like science and math. It doesn't pull my heartstrings like a Zonda or Murcielago LP670-4 SV.

Fooled me. I remember you posting about something that fell on your accord, and something about a volvo wagon. Nope, but it's downloaded. I have a weekly top gear party every wed night. It's fine if you don't like the veyron, but don't call it "large" because it isn't. It also still handles well; it is a freakin' supercar, and it's like 5 down from the top on the top gear test track. Everything above it is a LOT less refined.

Should have said bulky, it's about the size of a Kia Spectra if I remember. The Zonda is faster on the Top Gear track though, so I can have my cake and eat it too

I had a Veyron, it was rubbish, too heavy and bulky.
Have a Nissan Micra now and will never look back.

I had two, but I sold one for a VW van because the thing wouldn't fit my Hammond.

Any Top Gear fan should know that a Hammond will fit in anything.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.
