Not on the veyron, it goes up when the car is started, and a special key has to be entered beside the drivers seat to drive the car with it down

No the default wing position is down, the special key sequence for high speed runs stops it raising automatically above a certain speed (to reduce drag).

There are two reasons why that wing would be up - the first is that the owner had flicked the switch to keep it permanently in the up position (wanker, entirely believable because he bought an open top Bugatti), the other is that he was travelling very fast when he hit that 'gate'.

I suspect we're reading the version of events that was given to the insurance company ;)

My mistake, I was basing that on this, about 4min 30s in:

When the car is in handling mode the wing comes up, in normal mode or going for the top speed mode it is down.

I love these thread. All money no skill etc. Whatever. At least he had the opportunity to drive one. I'm sure all the haters are racing drivers who have struck upon hard times. They have never crashed a car,

Whether the car is a Veyron or a XF Fairmont Ghia, when someone crashes their car into their own gate at considerable speed (by the looks of it) then we're going to hang shit on them for being stupid.

Well the crashed Veyron in Texas will be earning the owner a few years in gaol rather than an insurance payout.

He thought he could make a cool million 'quickly'.

Cmon man, more info!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
