Worse than putting a dent in your new sportsbike?

I wonder what the insurance company is going to say about this....

I guess if you can afford to buy it you can afford to crash it.

lanbrown · 09-03-2007, 1:58 AM

Probably nothing. If you spend enough they don’t really care.

jkobflys · 09-03-2007, 2:03 AM

that goes to show...
the machine does not make the pilot.

the pilot makes the machine.

It also shows that AWD can be tricky even in the wet, wonder if traction control was on or off?

jkobflys · 09-03-2007, 2:36 AM

don't know if you guys know the reasons for the Bugatti's delayed release from what i read in European car, the had major aerodynamic issues whith lift at higher speeds, it defenetely makes me think how much of those issues amongst others they mentioned where really worked out as best as they had to with the time and money constraints, VW was really trying to get this car out production.

.OrgOwner · 09-03-2007, 3:03 AM

Yeah aerodynamic issues and engine heat issues and quite a few others, if I had my pick I would take the Zonda before the Bug.. If your going to spend that kind of coin you want the thing to look tough and I think the Zonda wins hands down in the looks department.

jkobflys · 09-03-2007, 3:12 AM

you can say that again that Zonda is the sexiest most exotic car in my opinion.
and the iterior has oooooooooooooooooooooohh!!
all over it.
by the way i just posted some of the pictures i took at laguna seca back in july. in my galery.

Surffrog · 09-03-2007, 4:24 AM

Sorry guys, but I've got to disagree. The Zonda looks like a modern day pimpmobile and the interior is sooooooooo tacky. I've actually sat in one at a show room in London. The first thing I thought was that (even if I could have afforded it) there was no way I could stare at that dashboard everyday. The Bug on the other hand looks like it means business.
As for faults, any road car - no matter how outragous - has to be a compromise of sorts. So when I see pics like this all I'm thinking is, 'what did the idiot do?' Not 'I wonder which fault caught them out?' Some people have more money than sense, I guess. Wish I did...

That thing is an obese whale with way too many features.

I'll take the bike, thank you very much!

jkobflys · 09-03-2007, 2:01 PM

I dont think that the crash was do to any of the cars flaws,
just pointing out the known facts of that vehicle as i had stated...
the pilot does make the machine.
and that particular machine is way to much to handle for the average folk.

I think if you were going to wreck a Veyron you would go with the same colour shceme as the one in the picure, it's not the best example I have seen.

jkobflys · 09-05-2007, 12:18 AM

hey guys what do you think about this fish?

07Repsol · 09-15-2007, 7:41 PM

Another wreck, another moron driving beyond their driving abilities and beyond the posted speed limits. Will this crap ever end? No. As long as you combine ignorance, carelessness and males, lives will be lost, vehicles will be desroyed and families will be shattered.

Yeah it's very cool but I am still in favour of the Zonda.

As for the crash, yes they need to test these idiots for driving ability before they let them take the car out of the showroom, but hey he might have just been trying to aviod a dog or cat?

Well there's your problem.

My wife showed me pics of an absolutely destroyed Ferrari Enzo last night that supposedly only had 9 miles on the clock. It hit a telephone pole. They claim at 200mph.

I'm not a fan of the looks of the Veyron or the Zonda.

This is my current choice. Formula One for the street.

dr_love · 09-15-2007, 10:51 PM

zonda... my career goals have changed.

tymeshare · 11-17-2007, 1:49 PM

as a auto body tech i have LONG dreamed of a formula one car for the street. Someday dammit...someday

I don't think you will ever get much closer that where we are now, there are some great options out there for those with the cash to burn. For the rest of us it's two wheels.

Here is a whole site of those type of picts. Makes me sick.

Wrecked Exotics

THREAD JACK ALERT!!!

right now(for the last 7mos. actually) we're working on a 2/3 scale replica of a formula 1. using a ZX10(i know..i know..but i didn't have a RR engine laying around) engine with a mild steel center section with carbon fiber subs. I've been spending FAR too much tyme laying out the geometries for the suspension. I'm using a set of old(97') blueprints from a Raynard. Some of the angles don't adapt well to use on a shorter/narrower chassis(upper arm length to lower arm length and such). I'll throw sum pix up sum tyme this week.
