I do hope Ed eventually finds a 100,000 mile Veyron that was plucked out of the hands of a Ponzi schemer by his cocaine dealer, and then stashed in a chicken coop for four years because the dealer was on the run from El Chapo's illegitimate daughter. That would be a perfect car for Ed!

    Out of all of the world's fastest cars the Bugatti Veyron super sport & its successor the Chiron super sport are by far the best driving. They are so easy to drive even at stupid speeds. If they weren't worth so much with such ridiculous maintenance costs they would actually make for a great daily driver. I got the chance to drive both of them & I couldn't believe how comfortable & smooth they were to drive even at speed on the autobahn.

This HUUUUUUUUGE black guy in a FULL fur coat gets out of it, and of COURSE I have to comment on the car. If you aren't incredibly rich, or a mental car guy, you probably don't even know the car exists, so again, I HAD to let him know how much I appreciated seeing it. He was a nice guy. Something to do with the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team. If memory serves I think he said the car was about $400,000 U.S.D back then. This would have been 2014-ish. Anyways, would love to see a Bugatti in the flesh. Anyways, Cheers from the worst city in America!

    I am not in the same ballpark as you but I play the same game... I have owned 4 of my bucket list cars in my life so far. And sold all of them within 3 years. The chase is absolutely the thrilling part. Owning and driving is nice, but as soon as I'm there I feel the itch for the next thing. That diag, I've have yet to get anywhere near my own pinnacle car so maybe as I approach that some day I'll change my tune.

    Just read someone thought that the chase was the best bit and owning these cars isn't all it's cracked up to be. Not in the same league but I just bagged a 2013 MB CLS Shooting Brake for £8.5K - Easily the cheapest Non-salvage Title car in the UK. 350Cdi BlueEfficiency AMG Line with 265bhp, with 78K miles and all the toys. It was an auction car and came with a couple of faults - I saw it on the website and I always thought they were gorgeous so I went up to "Have a look"! Of course you know what happens next - it starts at a "poor" £8000 - Auctioneers were aghast and tried to big it up, but it petered out very quickly, I stuck my hand up at £8300 and then shook my head when someone bid £8400 - the Auctioneers (whom I know well) said - "come on - it's only £100 (it was actually £200 but we'll let that slide) and the next thing I know, it's hammered down to me at £8500. I had sat in it for all of 45 seconds, I hadn't heard it run, the hand/emergency brake wouldn't work, there were ABS, TCP & ESP lights on the dash , the ECO mode didn't work and the electric mirrors were stuck. A couple of days later, it was delivered to me. A power wash cleaned what was obviously a dirty wheel speed sensor (even I knew what was causing those lights), 5 mins on youtube and 30 seconds in the car fixed the emergency brake, a new battery cured the ECO mode and the mirrors had been suck in the same position since 2016 (when the last owner got it) and just heeded a little "help" for a minute and they're fine. I didn't know at the time I bought it, but the car has an electric towbar (a £900 option) and LED Adaptive headlamps (a £4000 option!) and an almost complete M-B service history. I fixed all the faults, MOT'd it, taxed and insured it, drove it for a week and, now? Well, now I'm bored! I love looking at it, I love the way it looks, I love the engine and the power, I love the electric tailgate but there are some serious downsides - My wife HATES it, people won't let me out at junctions, it's enormous and it's a real brat to park. Worst of all - I'm over it! I now have my eye on a Jaaaaaaaagggg XJ - and doing it all over again. Like I said - not in the same league as ED & Hoovie but once this gets in your veins then you just can't help it. But I know I'll do the same with the next one - My wife & kids will roll their eyes and I'll disappear to the garage (again) and the whole thing will start one more time - I need help!

    I owned some new corvettes in the 90's. ( around 70 cars total in my 50 something years ) I would be thrilled to have a mid 90's corvette in clean condition, meanwhile you were trying to do a 2 million dollar deal for 1 car. I wasted a few hundred thousand back then buying news cars every 6 months. I miss my corvette but I am glad to not be like that anymore. I am also poor now so I couldn't wheel and deal like I used too, even if I wanted to. My dream car was a Viper, I owned 1, it was a lousy everyday car so I bought a new Vette instead, a month later. I lost $6000 in 30 days on that Viper. Have never regretted it.

    50k for a set of tires and a oil change is so goofy crazy I know there specially designed for high speed. But considering my heavy haul tractor plus my 8-axle 32 tire trailer would be under 20k for brand new tires its just mind boggling to me

    It's always painful when a deal falls through, but now at least you still have something to aspire to...plus, frankly, that car is going to take a hit in value (along with every other car on earth) in the coming months as the global asset bubble continues to unwind. Hurts to hear it I'm sure but in the long run this was probably the best outcome...I'm sure with continued hard work, you'll have another opportunity to buy one in the near future. And possibly at a better price.

    I would absolutely love to have a Super Sport. The problem is, it truly is a rich person's toy. Those tires, oil changes, and maintenance items (do you really want to be doing DIY repairs or trusting non experts to work on that complex of a vehicle?) add up so fast it makes your head spin. The McLaren F1 is in the same boat. Having to send it back to England to have new fuel tanks installed every so many years is absolute wallet rape, lol. I feel like there's really no economical way to own one of these pristine examples. You're probably better off that it fell through, eventually a salvage title one will end up in your garage and then you can truly have fun with it without paying astronomical amounts of money.

    Reminds me of the torment I had buying a Ford escort RS2000 for £900 back in the 80’s. Yes. I do wish I paid the extra money they demanded after we’d already agreed the sale. Well such is life, someone got it for £1100 or thereabouts and I got my yellow Mk1 Escort Mexico (pretend) that needed rear suspension sorting. (£550). Someone stole that and painted half of it blue. I got it back but sold it straight away. I miss my cars
