Since it won't let me edit the title of my other thread, I'm starting a new one.
Lately I've been seeing an inordinate amount of Lamborghini's in this one specific area of town. It never hit me until I saw the Veyron. I remembered there was a Lamborghini Las Vegas showroom nearby, but I never went inside. Well today, I did.
Holy ****
Countless Murcielago's, Diablo's, Gallardo's, Testarossa's, Saleen S7's, Spykers, Maseratti's, Bentley's, and of course, Bugatti Veyrons. Yes, I said Veyrons (they had 3). I was like a kid in a candy store. There were so many damn exotics you could barely walk between them. It was actually kind of nerve-racking. Last time I saw a Veyron, my phone was dead. I made sure it was charged today, just in case I saw it on the streets again. Well today it was in a showroom, but that'll have to do for now. In my other thread I said I'd post super low quality pics, so that's what I'm doing...

Turns out the one that I saw on the street goes through, what the salesman called, "torture testing." They drive it every hour, on the hour. The two pictured here are the dealer demo's, and they had a 3rd one with 300 miles on it. That was the one for sale. So far between the two demo Veyrons, they've put over 30,000 miles on them. He said the dirt and dust I saw on it was from them "possibly going off-road." Maybe some high-speed runs on the salt flats only 50 miles from here? :eek: You never know.
I'll definitely be back for some better pictures with my real digital camera, and maybe even some video since they drive it every hour. Stay tuned...
oh my god i canīt wait to hear the engine of veyron *droool*

Cool, some nice cars there. :) Although, thats only in America, as from what i've heard, they dont like to wait for their cars, so they often get them before others (no offence intended, just i've been told that so many times, and it seems to be true). I dont even think Jack Barcley (UK Bugatti Distributors / sellers) have a demo car.
The Veyron sounds nice, but i think some of you guys will be surprised, as it isnt anything particularally loud of special, i was quite surprised when i heard one at Goodwood, they arent too noisy when you compare it against a Lamborghini or Ferrari.

Was travelling in China a few weeks ago and saw these guys selling Fake (yes FAKE) Ferraris, Lambos, Corvettes and Hummers. I am told that the manufacturers are aware of the problem but cannot stop it.
I was tempted to buy a Enzo for $7,000 :)

That's awesome. You could turn around and sell it as a kit car for $40k+

Another interesting thing to note about the two Veyrons pictured above, they have the same plates. I found that a little odd.
From doing a little snooping, it appears Jay Leno's Veyron also has the same plates as these two. WTF?

Haha, funny I've just been searching for bodykits and I found this:
Peugeot 406 or a Ferrari 360? (http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/360/home_360.htm)

Im not sure of the law in the USA, but some countires / states allow plates for car dealers demo cars, which are similar or the same.
The two Veyrons i have seen had a Germany Plate, and a custom UK reg plate.
You'll start to see more Veyrons though, as they are filling the order slots.
dosnt look that easy to spot, to me! :O

Nice pics for the Veyrons in the US.
The Saleen however is something I can see every time I go to Lamborghini Dallas (authorized S7 dealer mdr1 ).
Hope to catch a Veyron in it though. :)

I can't stand the Veyron and I've seen them about a few times.
There isn't any NOISE !!!
Still would be good fun to drive one about, in real life and TDU.
However I'd still go and trade it :laugh:

I have a pretty good idea about the place you're talking about besides Roman's. And yes, if I am right, they've got a LOT of special vehicles. :)
