Top Gear just tested a Bugatti over in Germany and hit 252!

My stomach still has butterflies, what a car, what a show. Those darn Germans, they seem to be able to perform mechanical miracles when they want to.

Top Gear was on Discovery channel briefly. I think the fact it was on from 10-11pm on a Wed night might have caused its demise. It sucked because I am a huge fan myself.

There is a pre WW11 Auto Union (now Audi) formula 1 car that is suppose to be going up for auction this month. It was taken by the Russians when they occupied Germany and dismantled for reverse engineering. The report I read on Autoblog said it should get the highest price of any car to date. Incidentally, the car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
