One for the petrol heads

Spotted in Manchester on Saturday. I thought Brenda had bought it as a surprise but sadly she had not.

Dedicated to Frostie and his avatar.








Unfortunately I only had a fisheye lens with me.

One car where the back actually looks better than the front. I find that grill up front too in your face!!

The profile of the car, however, is superb!! You can see quite a few people out there admiring the Bugati!! Quite a crowd puller!!

Thanks for posting, Adrian.

I actually like the front end and I had to fight through photographers to get near it.

You can bet that the owner of this car was making money during the credit crunch.

Great shots - I think the fish eye gives a better point of view having seen so many standard shots of the car. Thanks.
