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!

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
