Reply to: the ultimate contractor car ?

[AtW]

so, planet, is it you who is responsible for long delayed release of Veyron then?

[planetit]

As the ultimate contractor, I'd just like to point out that I worked on both the Bugatti Veyron and the Bentley Continental GT (at the same time).

But they never let me drive either of them (perks for the permies).

Might I suggest one designs ones own ultimate contractor car...?

Design your Bentley here...

And if you need insurance...

The ultimate contractor car is a taxi.. I dont want to be bothered with being pulled over for speeding in some souped up knob substitute when I can be entertaining student nurses on champers and felling the goods on the way back to my place...

Tut...

Update on SKA will come shortly, with luck not even from me

Uh! Who from then? Your mum?

Wow! Can't wait!

If you need some serious VC just let me know!!

[AtW]

Oh, aspire to second best then, eh?

Just because its the most expensive does not mean its the best - Veyron is highly impractical car, almost as bad as F1 bolid.

Actually if you care to read into my question you would appreciate that I actually read the title - I state here that Veyron is 200% out of reach of _ANY_ Contractor, even JFK hitmen will stay clear of this one.

Thus, Veyron can't possibly be an ultimate car for a contractor, especially IT contractor, hence if you actually talk about ultimate contractor car then you need to go down, say to Gallardo or even lower.

Nope, not me sunshine. You may be correct in your assumption. However, the Veyron would be my ultimate car. I'm a contractor, therefore...

Now, stop this silliness and give us an update on your vehicular woes!

If you read the topic title(a novel experience, I know) then you will see that the topic is "the ultimate contractor car ?".

Why not go higher then - if you are in a position to buy Jumbo Boeing 747, then you are an even truer contractor?

This has been a public information announcement on behalf of the terminally stupid.

£800,000 was one price I've seen quoted.

Apparantly they cost several million to actually build.....

If you are in a position to buy a Veyron, then you truly are the ultimate contractor.

The Veyron car has got nothing to do with contractors - about zero of them will ever buy it, Gallardo is far closer to reality.

And then there is the VAT: What ever happened with that cigarette vendor who used a Ferarri as transport to refil his machines?

[Churchill]

The question is - if you are in position to buy a Veyron, then can you possibly any remotely be an IT contractor?

If you are in a position to buy a Veyron, then you truly are the ultimate contractor.

By "position to buy" I mean without selling the Wife, Kids, dog, house etc.
