I love Bugatti's. I especially like the EB110's from a design standpoint, but the Veyron is an all out performer.

The front end styling on the McLaren...they nailed it!

I was kinda surprised to see the McLaren pull away initially like that considering the Veyrons 0-60 and 0-100 times. Probably a driver thing. I have always loved the McLaren. The front end and the driver in the middle thing did it for me. The Veyron is sick though. I actually saw one creeping through the streets of La Jolla one day and had to immediately search for a clean pair of shorts. You can't go wrong with either car. I need to update my cable channels so I can get that BBC channel. That Top Gear show looks awesome and I feel like I'm missing out.

I too was surprised to see the McLaren pull away and lead as long as it did. That middle seat is cool, especially when the 3 surving Beatles all sat in one the F1's a few years back.

Re: Top Gear the nice thing is a lot of segments are on youtube... good for us non-subscribers.
