Hi fellow pHer's!
I was wondering if anybody knew of a Bugatti Veyron based in the Glasgow area. I have seen different pictures of The Malcom Campbell Centenaire Edition in the Milngavie area but have never had a chance to see it.

If anybody knows of who owns it and/or where abouts it is located could you please post below?
Thanks

PS The Picture Attached is NOT Mine but is of the car I am aware of.

Nice one! There is a Bugatti Veyron in Milngavie near where I live and I work there. I see it everyday I go to work and I know the driver through my work. He cut me off the other day, nearly hit it! frown:O
Google 'Veyron Milngavie' and you will find lots.

I know exactly where this car resides, but I'm not one for disclosing where people keep their cars without their permission first. All I can say is the owner's house and land is even more impressive than thier car!

Cheers,

Agar

I'm sure i'm not alone in thinking this isn't quite cricket as you southerners would say.

There seems to be a bit of culture of spotters (no dig at you directly SS) and tracking cars down etc.

All well to invite them to a show or the likes, on their discretion, but just to be spotted, pictured and logged isn't something i'd be too happy about with regards to any part of my life.

It's nice to see pictures of them and it's nice to spot them on the road and say, "Hey i spotted a nice xxx the other day" but it should be left at that IMO.

Kermit the Hermit.

I think you might be crossing the line from car enthusiast to stalker.

I think there has been a bit of confusion I am not going to be sitting outside someones house just to see a car. That would be sad. I just would quite like to see one of the worlds fastest supercars. :-D

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark you're a young un SS?

That's fine, i always wanted to spot F40's etc when i was a nipper. It's good to be enthusiastic.

You're walking a fine line of outcasting yourself from the start here.

Have a sit down, a think about it and then come back with a calm reply and you might just find folk more accomodating.

If you go to Harrods in Knightsbridge or to some of the better hotels espescially on a sunday you can easily spot Veyrons

Better to see them driving than parked though!

Manners and calmness in repsonse always get results here

hope you see it

The point of my post was to show you how your request for a car owners personal details might be interpreted.

You asked for the owners name and location to be posted on a public forum so you could presumably go there and take photos.

If you don't think that is an invasion of someones privacy then that is pretty 'sad'.

As has been suggested calm down a bit and there are plenty of people on the forum who can help you with your car spotting.

If you stop calling me sad I might even tell you where you can see this in the not to distant future.
