Did anyone see the Bugatti Veyron on Top Gear last night?

Savage!
You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'.

Clarkson was highly impressed alright.... It was a pity James messed up the race by not being able to fly at night though.

It was some car alright though, was it 2 or 3 seconds 0-60? Even the spoiler raiser had a radiator! something like 1.3million euros though, and it would only take 1 idiot to hit you with his poc shed and its gone.

Must be an amazing car cause Clarkson was seriously raving about it - he couldn't seem to get his head around the feat of engineering - looked amazing on the move and a couple of the shots gave the impression it could really handle too!

Think it's repeated on Tuesdays - not sure what time though.

Missed it :(

Did the Stig get to take it out on the track or was it just an off set test drive?
Wonder how it would compare......

I saw one of these in the flesh in a showroom in Berlin in the Summer. I didn't know what it was. There were two bouncer looking like men in the showroom by the car and I didn't dare go in :-)
It looked absolutely staggering
