Hire a Veyron for Xmas?
If you've got £15k a day to spare...
I cropped the contact details to avoid spamming the forum.
If anyone's feeling flush though, PM me...
(I'll just require a promise of a quick spin to oblige)

Isn't that the one that runs out of fuel doing the standing quarter mile?
Wouldn't mind an R8 for the weekend. Nice motor.

Re: Hire a Veyron for Xmas?
How come the Bug is nearly 30 times more expensive than the DBS 
I mean if you hired the Bug for Chrimbo to new year it would cost £105,000. You could get a pretty nice motor for that.
Also what`s the point, it`s not like your going to be able to go 250mph in it and personally i think the DBS is a much nicer piece of kit

Re: Hire a Veyron for Xmas?
I too would opt for the R8 over the Veyron... I'd be scared of having it parked in my street for fear of scratches/dings etc...let alone the cost of fuel.
As Matty says - you could almost PURCHASE an R8 for the cost of Veyron hire for a week...The hire of the RRS looks a bit TOO cheap though... £100/day. It costs about £50/day here just to hire a Fiesta or similar!

Re: Hire a Veyron for Xmas?
What you got to bare in mind is this kinda thing is aimed at those with enough money to wipe their backsides with gold leafed £50 notes.
I bet there are a few upper class twits willing to pay this

Re: Hire a Veyron for Xmas?
At fifteen thousand pounds a day, the owner just has to hire it every day out for ten weeks and he has made his money back.

Because the Bug is a hand built car and are not readily available where as the DBS is a factory producction car

Yeah i watched that, was pretty amazing really, although scary that the body is only held together by 12 titanium bolts, at 250mph i'd be worried it would fall apart
