Remember that Veyron I was supposed to have won?  Never did get it.

Still want it, though!

    I have enough spare parts to build a couple more Lotuses if you’re willing to take a step down…;)

    Bryan is ahead of me. You can pop for an Elise for under $50K or do as my old roommate did and fix up tiny Europa for nearly nothing…

    I’d have to deal with parking it. Hmmm…

    Is a Bugatti better than a Bugnini?

    Oh, yes.

    But getting a Veyron as a gift would create new problems:
    - how to pay for the gas?
    - how to pay for the tires?
    - hot to pay for the insurance???? That one has to be a whopper!

    But all fall into that category where “if you have to ask….”

    Well, Bugatti was the name of the long-serving executioner in the last years of the “temporal power”. He lived in Trastevere, and the firt indication of a public execution coming off was Bugatti crossing the bridge to Rome with all his executioner kit.

    One of the methods of execution was a mallet blow to the skull – the “hermeneutic of rupture”, you might say.

    This looks rather like a red biretta with black trimmings. A perfect birthday present!

    *grins*
    Honestly, if we want that vintage of speed and splash, how about a Mooney Bravo? It’s probably not too different in price, flies faster, offers a better view of the overall area (from 3,500 ft AGL or higher), and may offer a somewhat larger luggage compartment.

    Speed, cool looks, AND utility. Tough to beat.

    ..Well, that might be my aviation fantasy anyway!
