Back to the drawing board for that one, then

What I don't understand is the use of the words 'morbid hunk' - that seems like a strange choice of words if you ask me..

Thank god no one was hurt. It really did burn to the ground. I've never seen/heard of a car burning to the ground quite like that so late in it's development. I bet this will put the release date back a few months.

I did hear that one of the Veyron test drives did a full 360 spin on the 'ring when they were testing it, and nearly slammed it into a barrier. Needless to say that was his last lap of the day.

It's called 'typewriter masturbation' and is a habit-forming amongst hacks.

So, someone ripped that rollcage out of the R8 and stuck it atop a burning Cobra?!?!?

Then went back and ripped the wheels of it and did the same?

Come on man...
