I love that car...

obLu · 12-14-2005, 11:06 AM

I agree with Clarkson on this one point; we'll never see a car like this again. The German horsepower race will continue, and we may still see another 1000hp car from the factory. But you'll never see such a purposefully engineered road car again.

Ah, come to think of it, nevermind. Ferrari'll probably end up coming out with a thinly veiled road car with all it's F1 bits in it to one-up the Bugatti.

One thing I found really interesting, Clarkson states each car costs 5.5 million pounds to produce so Bugatti (VW) is loosing a huge amount on each car. But in an interview with some Bugatti mucky mucky I read in one of the car mags, he states that Bugatti will be profitable with the first car (or was it first five ... horrible memory) that rolls off the assembly line?

I think Bugatti stated that they're estimating to make money on future Bugatti models based on the Veyron.

Wow i didnt know you US guys would have liked watching Top Gear here in the UK... anyway, yeah that Bugatti is immense. 0-60 in 2.5 seconds was it? Unbelievable...

obLu · 12-14-2005, 11:52 AM

I personally love that show ... some of the "personality" stuff gets annoying, but we don't have shows here in the US where they actually TEST cars. They just drive them around sedately and tell us how great they are (even if they suck balls). The shows are extensions of retail magazines which make their money from advertising, aka sponsorship.

But we have to rely on rips of the show on bittorrent to get it, which is fine because over here it wouldn't be broadcast in HD.

hell yes we would

. Top Gear is a great show, I will admit though, that the US version kinda sucks but it still is the only show I am truly ADDICTED too. Does anyone know if that Azareus program to run bit-torrents cost money?

I read the same article, I believe. The muckity muck definitely said... without question... that they would be profitable from day one with the Veyron. The follow up statement was that VW wrote off the Bugatti losses a while ago. So apparently... Bugatti is operating in the black due to writing off its losses.

DUDE... THAT is the greatest car show in all the world!!! I love everything about it... everything. My wife thinks I should put together an American version... but I don't know. I think something may get lost in the translation.

Aaaah, creative accounting.

Yeah, insurance coverage. No way any company is going to cover the show. I suspect that might be why the lame Car & Driver and Motortrend shows are so tame with what they show. Probably worried about some idiot suing them claiming their accident was a result of something they had on the show.

Check out the torrents for Best Motoring too, I remember them being pretty fun too. But I mainly stick to Top Gear. The chick and the big dude on Fifth Gear bug the hell out of me. Tiff is the only watchable part.

bavarian19 · 12-14-2005, 09:17 PM

Can someone please inform me as to how the blast I download this? I am clueless when it comes to torrent files. a DIY if you will

obLu · 12-15-2005, 11:39 AM

You got a PM on this yet? I'm not sure, would it be considered wrong to discuss it openly in the forums?

timzerofive · 12-15-2005, 12:43 PM

I like that show 5th Gear much better then Top Gear. Their review is so much more interesting. That guy who drove the McLaren F1 was hilarious.

It's Needell

obLu · 12-15-2005, 03:14 PM

I like Tiff, I just don't like the chick or the big oaf. Damn they're irritating. But hamster, captain slow and clarkson are starting to wear thin too. That's what I meant by "personality stuff".

Overall, I like the segments on Top Gear better than Fifth. But I'm a sucker for 70's supercars.

timzerofive · 12-15-2005, 04:41 PM

I find that Top Gear segments is not really informative. They find some weird "tests" to do on a vehicle, or they drive it around the track and keep saying, wow this is the best car ever. Then finally they just let that snake guy drive it, and post the time. In addition, the exchanges between the hosts just gets down right weird most of the time, especially when they jump between the US and UK shows. 5th Gear is more of a traditional car magazine show, which I personally enjoy more.

But that McLaren show, he looked like he nutted in his pants when he accelerated
