There can, actually, be very few countries in the world where such a car can be used to its potential. Germany, with no speed limit on the autobans I guess. Anywhere else? Still, if people have got money to burn buying expensive toys, up to them. Whilst the 7 motorway has a speed limit of 120km/h... very very few obey this. At worst they get a 500b speeding ticket in the mail if the cameras are turned on.... toss that bit of paper in the bin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner might not bother when he finds out how much it will cost to put things right now that it is banged up and has been submerged in water. I watch a guy called Samcrac on you tube who buy right offs like these and tries to ' flip ' them ( repair and resell ) . Massive headache and not always possible as the electronic parts cost a fortune. See also Tavarish, and his FLOOD submerged, McLaren. He got many parts cheaper, but still cost $US thousands !

Maybe more suited to open days on race tracks but as you say only exceptionally talented drivers would ever fully get their moneys worth And just in case you wonder how this looks like: 330km/h in a BMW...

But I will never understand why anybody would want such a car in Bangkok. For what? Using the 1st and 2nd gear only? Probably overheating that thing in the traffic? And they have to drive very careful to avoid any pothole. What's the point? The point is to gain face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I wonder if the repair shop has insurance for such a mishap, or will it just go bankrupt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
