Z3MCJez Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 2,500ks. Needs new tyres then. That will be £25k sir. The running costs of a Veyron are in this month's EVO (as with a number of other supercars) and they are absolutely ridiculous. To need new wheels at £100k (IIRC) every 7,500kms Are they made of cheese? Jez Build Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wile7 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Supercars = superwasteofyourmoneymightaswellpouryourcashdownabighole If they are so well 'engineered' why all this nonsense with wheel/engine/tyre/exhaust etc. life? Surely they should be as reliable as an NSX or something.....

andy couchman Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's like the spiv's can of corned beef in WW2. Spiv sells it for 2/6d to person 1, who sells it for 5s to person 2 who sells it for £1 to person 3, who sells it for a guinea to person 4. Person 4 eats it and finds it completely inedible. So he complains and the complaints eventually get back to the spiv. "Ah", he says, "but this corned beef is not for eating, it's for selling!". The point of a Veyron is to 1) max it once (just to say that you've driven at 250mph), then keep it in storage or 2) use it everyday and boast that you have the most exepensive car in the world. The Veyron is a statement but it seems to have almost F1 type running costs. Nice to admire though. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickrick Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The badge on the rear looks like it's been taken from a handbag, or some slappers designer sunglasses. Saying that, I wouldn't mind a look around one, or a drive. But I have no desire for a "supercar" Apart from the one I'm building of course!
