the F10 model will have the same engine and gear box from the 1 I got so there is no point in getting the F10 unless it looks much better than the E60 which I don't think it will.
also the LCI is 25% stronger frame that our old e60.
but I bet the f10 will be other 25% stronger than the LCI
Hope the F10 can 25% prettier than E60

yea that corner was fun to drive.
it was a graet meet hope next time we can have a longer drive with less long roads, more twisty roads
yeah, the exit is quite narrow with barrier onthe left and double white line + traffic on the right, have to be v precious with the line. I get a great sensation when get it right but not sure I would dare to go at gtr speed though

Thanks Mike for letting me drive his baby Veyron!!
Athough i didnt drive higher than 30km in the car park, but it simply feels very different to other supercars than i have driven before.
The only complain is the hard ride and probably too much engine noise at low rev for daily use
But Man! This car can almost beat anything on the road today in HK!!

Absolutely amazing piece of machine at very affordable price!!
the suspension felt a bit like my friends s2000 with mod'd suspension.

congrats man, always will give you guys tips when to buy
how much did u get on the px?

now you can savour nearly the same engine as mine (magnesium alloy), valvetronic and
twin vanos, but you have now brake regeneration and a funky gearstick!
will you get an M kit and new wheels?
