is it me or does the veyron look like a bit of a dog in that colour scheme?
whereas the lambo (is that a matt/satin finish?) looks like it'll tear your face off just for walking past it! that looks evil. i'd have that one thanks

What the hell is a mini doing in the presence of that lot, among a Murcielago, Veyron, Mclaren SLR and Maserati Gran Turismo

That's a Ferrari California, not a Maserati.
What's the betting they don't pay their Congestion Charge though with those Arabic plates?

How can you tell as the grills lower curve and the two badges, one on grill and one on bonnet are almost identical from distance?
In fact looking at pics the headlights on the Maserati are narrower and wider. Ridiculously close in shape at the front between the two though! Plus the Ferrari is far more flash

It is a pity that the Veyron with all its performance and technical advances is such an ugly looking car-whatever its colour scheme!
