I wonder how dull or exciting it is to drive one of those or its predecessor at the speed limit.

I fear that, like the Veyron, it'll do absolutely nothing for me visually or aurally. I've never been in a Veyron so can't comment on that aspect, but it always seemed bloated and lumpen. I fully applaud the concept of doing it because it can be done, though.

Hoping there is a Chiron at Prescott this year.

Those figures - all of them - are simply immense!

Is it " Bew Gatty ", or " Boo Garty ".
I would say the former.
Love the Chiron - if I win more than £25 mill on Euro Millions I am having one.

I've always said "Bew-gatty" myself, but no idea if that's correct.
And I was assuming you pronounce it "Key-ron" but I notice that Harris on TG was referring to it as the "Shee-ron"

I'd have it as Bew-gatty Ky-ron, but who knows.
An irrelevance, but a glorious one at that.

I think Chiron should actually be pronounced "Key ron", as in Greek mythology but perhaps the French pronunciation is "She ron", which seems to be the accepted pronunciation.

Is it " Bew Gatty ", or " Boo Garty ". The Americans seem to insist upon using their own pronunciation; they can't even get "Nikon" right ! |

Do they say, "Neek own"?

I think the Japanese say "Knee-con" whereas in Europe it's "Nick-on"

"Nike" always winds me up; why do people pronounce it to rhyme with "spike" when it rhymes with "pikey".
Actually, "Adidas" is another - muppets that pronounce it "A-Dee-das".
I came unstuck on "Hauwei" - I knew it should be pronounced "WAH-way" but had a mental block in Carphone Warehouse and found myself asking for a Whey-Aye phone like it was some special handset for the Geordie market.

Could have got a Hunday but really wanted the Jagwahr. The popular choice would be the Toyoda or for those with aspirations an Ackurah.they love their Japanese cars. |
