    It's great to have so many super cars, but having so many of anything diminishes the excitement. They must become ho-hum after number 3 or 4, like getting just another shirt. I find that true in my collecting hobbies.

    A select few in this world get to drive but one of these cars; you drove all three ON THE SAME DAY! Congrat's.

    He has three of the best cars ever made, and 15 more cars on order? How is it possible to not feel like a total loser after a day like this? I think I'd kill myself, wondering where I went wrong.

    Wow, that is amazing. So, the guy just throws you the keys to $3MM+ in cars that if anyone who had of wadded them up(which is very easy unless you are very experienced driving them) he'd be on the hook for? It seems like the cameras were rolling and flashing there. Any pics of YOU actually driving any one of these cars? Sorry to be skeptical but it just seems foolish for this guy to do this no matter what kind of money he has. Driving you guys around now that's a different story. Thanks!

    They had a professional photographer there taking pix of us in the cars and driving them, to be sent via snail mail at some point.
    For the record I was there driving those cars. Like I said earlier I wouldn't waste my time (or yours) trying to impress a bunch of strangers I'll likely never meet.
    Just wanted to share one of the most amazing driving experiences of my life!
    If you have any doubts whatsoever, and happen to be an@l enough to do the research, call (sales guy who brokered the deal) Payam Matin at Lamborghini Las Vegas, 702-671-0025, or email him at [email protected] to ask about the GranSport owner giggling like a little girl last weekend driving these cars!
    'nuff said.

    Pretty damned cool!

    I don't think I would have picked a red Veyron if I had a choice.

    That is my impression too. My friend could have purchased his fleet of cars from anyone in the world...and he chose them (he doesn't live in las Vegas).

    Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing. I don't know why anyone would post some crap doubting the authenticity form a poster who is detailed and sincere in their write up. What kind of speeds did you get to on the track? I've seen a few Bugatti but all have been the grey and light blue color scheme. I saw one of theose MC-12 at Moroso a few months ago. That is one great looking car, too bad they are not street legal here. Anyway, nice pics, and just ignore the negative comments!

    It was a relaively short road course, and I did not want to do any damage whatsoever by going off....so only about 125-130 on the back stretch. The MC12 was a gem, really balanced and sweet. You knew exactly where you "stood" with that car. The sound was fantastic too! The Veyron was shockingly, alarmingly fast...you built speed so quickly I felt on the edge of being out of control. It would take a very skilled driver to push the limits in that car for sure! The Enzo was very raw, and felt "light." I carried my braking too late into the turns a couple of times and it oversteered immediately, the transition was abrupt to my inept inputs...luckily the traction control saved my ass.
    Great stuff, I can't stop thinking about it...I've been around that track now in my head another thousand times this week!
    Back to work.

    Sounds like a great experience. I have to admit I thought it was BS too when I initially read it. The initial post could be construed as you were a passenger, the pics don't tell much and still no verifiable proof other than some Lambo guy to call. This is the net don't you know and it wouldn't be the first time that someone displayed a figment of their imagination on here. Anyway congrats and look forward to seeing the snail mail pics. :)

    Real or not, it's a cool story!

    Hypothetically, if the guy is telling a yarn, his imagination is STILL better than mine! :)

    But.... I don't doubt it happened. Personally I don't care about seeing pics of you driving them, but instead how about more pics in general!!!! Love seeing those things.

    Actually,
    Don't know him....yet.
    There were a bunch of us at this meeting fromaround the country and we all went out to the track at different times over the weekend.
    Cool to see a fellow FChatter was there!
