the Veyron is nothing special in the metal

and compared to a Macca

distinctly second rate

but then it is a VW

speed is NOT everything

It isn't especially dramatic to look at, but I think VW have done a cracking job with the Gallardo Spider.

Miura or nothing with Lambos

I think Miuras are just gorgeous

Someone drew it - it's organic

The current crop are sterile

Whereas I think the Muira looks like a cheap 2nd hand speedboat.

I was distinctly underwhelmed at Goodwood. It was a lot smaller than I imagined for a start. No real presence.

That's not to say I'd turn it down if someone offered me one of course, but I'd probably sell it as soon as they weren't looking

It was far too quiet for a supercar, it sounded like it was some hybrid thing

That F1 appears to contain a heavily tattooed naked man with a chicken's foot for a hand
