I must lead a very sheltered life. I have to admit I was wondering what kind of car that was the last time you posted it. I could not get the front emblem to come in clear enough. Since that's done does anyone know what the gauge was in the video that went to 1001 is it a turbo boost gauge?

Good question. I'd speculate that it is a HORSEPOWER gauge, as the Veyron is rated for 1001 HP. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif
 
Yet they consider it handicapped....hehehehe:

If its a car show then the whole lot would be blocked and normal parking would not apply?
 
At 253 Mph you can drive for 12 minutes, or 50.6 miles between stops. I could not make it out of new Mexico because there are not enough gas stations!
 
Basil,

At 253MPH I wouldn't worry to much about running out a gas. The heart attack from all that adrenaline pumping would finish me off in the first minute or two. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif
 
Actually it is supposed to be so stable at 253, that it doesn't feel like that big of a deal. Part of the design mandate was that it had to be so stable at top speed that any owner could get it there as long as they had enough road. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Running out of gas after 12 minutes is sort of a safety precaution. The tire will only last for 14 minutes at top speed and they are specially designed to even reach that speed while supporting that much weight!

And yes, that is the horsepower gauge that goes to 1001. They just wanted you to let you see how often you use the horsepower you pay so much to have.
 
Let's see... I've got three old Monopoly games, how do you want it? 100's oe 500's?

At 253 mph, how many miles do you think you could coast out of fuel for, while you seek that next station? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
