That Miata is SMOKING HOT!!!!!!
LOVE the front end, but it looks to sit too low for my liking compared to the rest of the car. Bring it up only slightly and we'd be in business.
The taillights are a REALLY nice touch as well.

Green one is a Jaguar XK V12 prototype, to the best of my knowledge never raced competitively after the costs were found prohibitve compared to their other designs at the time (think it was contemporary to the D-Type). Hell of a job packaging it, must have been a nightmare to work on the engine.

D'you think so, guys? I think it's great to see, because it means it's getting used! I'm a firm believer that cars can be objects of great beauty, yeah, but they're primarily designed to move about and a car that doesn't is not really a car any more. I have massive respect for the guy who owns that EB110, not just because he bought just about the fastest and most overpriced car available at a time when Bugatti were looking a distinctly shaky prospect, but because he loves the car enough to drive it every year fromFrance to England to enter it in the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
That's why it's so dirty, he'd run late.... how this is possible in a 200mph car is anyone's guess, I suppose he had to stop for a lot of sans plomb en route (French joke, feeble I know)... and hadn't had time to clean it before the show started. That's a few hundred miles road grime. Nuff respec
Here's some more of it from this year, if it makes you any happier lol
Orchestra included....
...which is just as well; Bugatti EB110, phenomenal car, indescribably **** cassette tape deck head unit
In 2008 a guy entered the Style et Luxe concourse at Goodwood with an EB110 that he'd decided the stock ~550 bhp wasn't manly enough and he'd got the factory to spec his up to the high 600s. Not only that, it was all in raw carbon fibre. I tell you, the bloody thing gave me a tumescence like a baseball bat that lasted half the day. Unfortunately, I only had a really crappy film camera that day, so the only pics I have are scanned from photos. Badly. Still, worth repeating, I reckon. Personaly, I prefer the EB110 to the Veyron not just in looks but in concept. A bit like F40 Ferraris vs anything since, it's just a tool, not a flying computer, but a sledgehammer with wheels, an axe murderer of a car. No frills, just a huge engine and ridiculous speed.
EDIT:
in actual fact, that'll teach me to wiki stuff before posting. Here is that very car, the Dauer EB110 on the EB110 Wikipedia page, at the very Goodwood 2008 festival where I took my humble pictures. Awesome. 650bhp and 507lbs lighter than the "standard version" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_EB110 That Mclaren F1 GTR parked behind it was a bit of a thing, too
