For some reason I thought a Nick gave you a ride in the Veyron and I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, same dude.

Shelton had an XJ220 at about the same price and it was gone immediately. I want something with more exotic lines comparable to EB110, Lambo, XJ220, F50, Zonda and Konenigsig.

if you can't find a car you want at that dealership, then the car probably doesn't even exist.
I'd opt for the CGT though, there aren't too many around.

Doug, you really need to see the spyker in person to appreciate it I think. It's not the fastest or most powerfull. But the craftsmanship is something i've never seen before. That said, i've never heard a driving report, so who knows

the EB110 here was blue. If i get time in the next couple days i'll drive by and get the dealership name. it's on Wilshire near BH Lambo and near where Symbolic used to be.
the spyker is definitely road legal. there is a dealership in Van Nuys.
