What's your excuse for crashing into your own gate? I wonder how much the wreck will sell for, im thinking a quad T, W12 conversion mwahaha

[Silvia GTR]

Im sure theres a reasonable excuse for this

Doesn't that spoiler go up at certain speeds?

All money but no brains.

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

He played chicken with his gate remote. Gay-assed rims too BTW.

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.

If I had the money for a Veyron, my driveway would be sufficient for a reasonable sized accident as well....

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'.
