    Posted: 09-September-2007 at 17:51
I was at a dinner party yesterday. I was mingling with various different people and then I was introduced by someone who knew I was a petrolhead to the only Irish Bugatti Veyron owner! He told me he is exporting it to Spain and is going to have it stored at the Ascari Circuit. The sources of information about the owner were correct. He is the owner of Cash & Carry kitchens and lives in Cork and owns a Bentley Conti GT, RR TDV8 and an Ariel Atom to name a few. And guess what...... I get a go in it!!! I am going to be absolutely cacking it...

VRT is the reason he's exporting it, it costs 712k! Whereas if he brings it to Spain it's only 100k.

I will, won't be getting a spin for a few months though when it is in Spain.

I'm adoring my new car, I look forward to my journey in the morning now. It's got a good spec e.g heated seats, upgraded 17" 5 arm alloys, leather, cruise control, multi function steering wheel, multitronic etc... It's not as comfortable as the Volvo though, the Swedes have always made the best seats. I'm over the moon with it otherwise.

Cheers Luke. Hopefully it will be relatively soon. It's in Ireland right now, but it's heading to Spain soon. The guy was the soundest chap you could meet. He was telling me how he had a problem with it and they fixed it from the factory!

Glad to hear you're happy with the A4. Of course, what I really want to hear is that you regret not buying a 3series...

I do agree with you on the Volvo seats, why all manufacturers don't make cloned copies of these and put in their cars I'll never know. The only BMW seats, I've sat in, that match for support are Recaro's!

I've talked to an ex Cash & Carry manager who for many years worked for the owner (a very nice bloke as you say and a true petrol head for decades)  and he too (along with many others) has been promised a go in the Veyron. What you will be getting more than likely will be a few laps of the circuit beside a professional driver.....

 

Certainly not to be sniffed at. Enjoy.

Wow, 635, that's going to be quite an experience.

Make sure you get plenty of photographs and do a nice write-up on it.
