I saw captain slow do this drive, and it freaked me out. I would have bought one as a young man… I now have children and frankly a lot less guts.
I watch Top Gear religiously. But not the US version; it blows. If they had wanted to do it right, they should have gotten Adam Corolla, then it would have been a proper US Top Gear.
Strike what I said about only writing about Real Estate. This was worthy of a post. The Veyron is the SR71 Blackbird of cars. It may not be surpassed for a generation.

Conan O’Brien bought a Veyron with a small part of his severance package from NBC. VW builds a hell of car doesn’t it?

Cartoon Car. Fast, agile and well-engineered; but, just another four wheels under a lump of clay fresh out of the wind tunnel.
Half-way through this fine video I was questioning why it would land on JTR’s site – a site more comfortable extolling the virtues of a 427 Cobra or the original 289AC-Cobra. Or better yet, aptly deifying an old rust bucket Chevrolet fleetside pickup. Then, I got it!!
JTR is cleverly plotting to bag a whale by enticing a Veyron owner to purchase the Jenny Craig estate so that they can attempt lap records out in the front driveway!
I would seriously entertain selling a kidney to get to drive a Veyron.

Amazing car and it just goes to show if your car can go that fast you can paint the rims whatever color you want.
I prefer the Non-sport version. This one is just a bit too flashy.
(As if I had the money to buy one! HAH!)
