Not a Veyron but!

Postby Boxadog 2000 » Wed Apr 12, 2006 6:03 pm

But it was a Bugatti !


Type 35 circa 1930 8 cylinder 2 ltr twin carb petrol.



100BHP 145 ft/lbs torque cable brakes leaf springs steering wheel about 2ft in diameter



V quick V twitchy me V V scared.

So as we are blatting down the road at maybe 80/90 mph Steve my boss says to me OK Bob how does it feel driving a car worth in excess of £500,000.00 (gulp)



And did that add to my trepidation.



Not much :roll:

Bob,
It may well be worth 1/2 a million but I bet you would not want to give up the experience of driving it for any amount of money!!! You lucky begger, I might get the chance to drive one of David Browns products in my line of work but unfortunately its a tractor and not an Aston!!!!

Regards Peter.

Top Man Bob

Thanks for the tour last week - it looks a dream place to work and the cars are something else.

And then get a shot driving one as well??

It could only be beaten by getting the same deal working at a modelling agency I guess....

Full marks to messrs GENTRY, and thanks again.

Cheers

Alan
