I have been lucky enough to have seen a couple of Bugattis in the flesh and they are truly magnificent machines. This one is made from magnesium which cost $3000.00 for each 4x8 sheet and they used 13 sheets.That is just for raw material which is said to be almost impossible to work. The damn stuff has a kindling temp. of 800 degrees. They say 1100 in the video but some research shows 800.

Actually he says it catches fire at 1100 degrees but becomes malleable at 800 degrees.
Do you watch Restoration Garage (The Guild)? They build some beautiful stuff, the owners must make a killing.
I use to watch his show ( not sure if still on ) they do some amazing work of course the cost always floored me when the bill came due " well mr --- here is the 35 pages of shop time man hours in repairs and 20 pages of parts and grand total of 2000 k for your 78 pinto of course I exaggerated the car .
but great work is not not cheap as we all know but shops high end and quality they put out well out of my working class funding :shock: range
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
I've always thought Bugatti, especially the ~20's/30's era were neat cars. Of course the new Veyron (sp) is incredible too. I will never afford to buy anything with that name on it, even a motorcycle.
More history of this 1934 Bugatti A?rolithe, the original car 'disappeared', probably used for parts? This Bugatti was dropped by a forklift when loading/unloading the transport plane to a show. Easy to fix if you've got to the bucks.
