That Texan bloke was fed up with his oh-so-slow Veyron and wanted to smack it so he could use the insurance for a new SSC Ultimate Aero.

I was wondering about that, is it a sti.. sorry, manual? Wiki says computer-controlled paddle shift so not actually manual as such... Note the way it's dragged out with the back wheels locked, either the gearbox seized or they're worrying about circulating salt water in it. Or something else I haven't thought of... 10 radiators? :shock:

Ah well, it goes to show, money can't buy you everything (it can't buy you a brain, for example)

Wifey's perfectly adept at driving a manual. Americans just can't be arsed, plain and simple.

Also, she doesn't understand why the 406 has no cup holders...

Because it's a mode of transport and not a mobile dining area?

D9s have a couple in the centre console behind the handbrake. They're useless

A 99p plastic jobie from Tescos works well clipped on the passenger side of the gearbox gaiter

Yeah, they would have been better if they were deeper; as it is, I can't have a 500ml bottle of Coke in there without bumping it with my elbow during every gear change, or when I use the hand-brake. Got to use those silly "fun-sized" 250ml bottle.

(Where's the fun in those things, anyway; you get half the amount of Coke for almost as much money)
