There was a full write-up and test of the Veyron in Automobile, about 2-3
months ago. Carbon fiber, lead crystal horn button, basically a mammoth engine
on wheels. Other than for really exotic means for engine heat extraction, they
described it as pretty streetable. --Really, the most insane piece of
automotive engineering I've ever seen. --I'll take 2.

Not really Healey related but any car guy would like this article. A $1
million
car billed as the world's fastest factory produced. Is 1,000 horsepower
enough?
I did not realize VW bought the rights to the Bugatti name 7 years ago!
A sales rep from the company says he considers it more of a "piece of art"
than
a car to be driven.
How many feel that way about our Healeys?
