Is it a N.I. reg or Dublin?

There's a dublin reg car that drive's around the odd time, pulled up beside him in the Sagaris and we had a chat.. Seemed a nice bloke and his mate beside him looked like a 5 year old at christmas.

He commented on my "nice car" when we were moving off and I told him his wasn`t too bad either biggrin

there's a black one that used to hang around saintfield a lot, haven't seen it in a while - perhaps it's gone to bed for the winter. i came up behind it on the short dual carriageway on way out of saintfield and tried to give him a run for it's money when he put his foot down. yeah right, it disappeared into the distance like i was going backwards, don't think he noticed i was even there..

I've seen a dark grey one on Lisburn Rd a few times, stunning machine!

The brakes looked bigger than my rims lol.

The guy who owns the black SLR you seen in saintfield lives just outside Crossgar, As well as the SLR he has a black lambo gallardo, a f430 a 997 turbo and a RR SPORT Supercharged.

He was crusing around in a Bugati Venron (spelling) a few weeks ago to, although i believe this belonged to a pal of his in England

Just for the record he's a real nice chap into the bargin

I have to correct myself also he does own the Bugatti, you might have seen it being driven by the STIG this evening on TOPGEAR

Yes that was his Bugatti used on the show tonight

Must keep an eye out for that. Would love to see that on the road. My father lives very nearby. He loved that Veyron on TG.

He will be all Bizz when he hears one of his neighbours actually owns it cool

I have seen a silver one on Boucher a couple of times but it's always had European plates, I didn't get to see where from.

There are a few photos knocking about of that (white?) Veyron on Malone Road/Balmoral Ave.

^^^

It just has the edge over the Micra in the acceleration stakes, but once the Micra gets going I'd say it would be close..

That white Veyron was (or still is) owned by a company called Swift-hire.com - based in Crossgar. We (drivewire.eu) were supposed to be getting that as a test drive then they went clean off the radar. Apparently it cost £15 grand A DAY eek to hire and was mostly used for grooms and bridal parties. Personally I thought the sugared almonds at mine were an unnecessary expense (classy).

Next thing I knew, Topgear had it, filmed it and showed it in the current series (episode 3 I think).

It did look pretty cool - sounds a bit horrible to describe - white leather interior - but it kinda worked..

Stupid Topgear...
