My god! Stunning color! That's sick...again from the arabs?

Still with Bugatti plates "XXX WW 67". Not definitive ones.

It must have been shipped to its owner, now. The car went there just for some hours, and then has just gone.

Great pics! the color is not my cup of tea, purple/white is not a very manly combination. I have a question about pic before the last one, the one taken from behind, in a Veyron review I had noticed that the rear lights flick randomly and light unevenly when braking, and you can see this in that pic, some parts of the lights are turned off while some parts are on. Is there any reason for this?

It's because they are led lights. I think you have to have a 'high' tech camera to get the lights on full beam...

[Smylait]

It should do it with every camera you use.

If I am right this phenomenum depends on the refreshing frequency of the led lights. As it is quite low, if the shuttering speed you choose on your camera is not lower than the refreshing frequency, you will have this effect.

but is it only noticeable on camera? or do you notice it when you see it personally...because I have never seen a LED lighted car do this myself nor have I never seen this happen even on camera with any other car...

[Smylait]

It is not noticeable with your eyes.

Thanks Chaos, I wanted to ask the same question about the lights. It's interesting... I thought the Veyron's rear lights flash in differnet patterns.
Smylait is right... and wrong You really don't see this effect with your eye, but you see some difference from regular lights. I noticed, that if I move my eye when a LED light is on, it somehow flashes... or makes you lok at it Still, you will not notice this on every light, but a VW Passat is a great example. Now I have to guess, why not all.......

A friend of mine said to me that a Veyron had problems on the Urban Highway in Paris.... he had to stop and call a tow company

what do you mean by `Bugatti plates`..?

the reason i'm asking is that the polish Bug was first seen in poland on french `9916 WAL 67` plates:

and i just thought it was bought 2nd hand in France..
but maybe it's brand new :roll:

btw, now it has standard polish plates from the Wroclaw city:



ps.
!! the above pics are not mine..

[Smylait]

In France, car dealers and car manufacturers have some temporary plates composed by: one to four numbers + WW (or WW+another letter) + the numbers for the area ("67" is the region in the East of France where the Bugattis are built).

They use these plates when the cars are being shipped or when they have to be driven to somewhere.

The one you saw seems to be with normal french plates on the first picture (definitive plates). Then it should be a second hand, but I am not sure it is really because of the "67". The car may have been previously bought by the french car dealer himself, and later sold in Poland.
