        Awesome build, but honestly, I wouldn’t trust driving it on the open road. Now, it doesn’t look that fast, but I still see the steering wheel coming apart on a tight corner, followed by the rest of it.

        Arch Linux, on a Ryzen 7 1800X, 32 GB, 5 (yes -5) HDs inc 5 SSDs, 4 RPi 3Bs + 1 RPi 4B - one as an NFS server with two more drives, PiHole (shut yours), Plex server, cloud server, and other random Pi stuff. Nice CoolerMaster case, 2 x NV GTX 1070 8GB, and a whopping 32" AOC 1440P monitor.

          It’s only £330 – 1p, could you build it.

            As a Lego techniq kid I love this. Also it looks better than the actual chiron, which I don’t much like. Though I never liked any of the million versions of the Vernon that much either.

            While I’m moaning. The ‘I’m trying to be Clarkson’ voice over was terrible.

            Car was ace, it should of ended with “it just keeps on going…… Pause…. Until the batteries run out”

            One fact I love about the Vernon, and the chiron will be the same, it can do over 240mph but at full tilt only go for 15mins so a 60mile range out of its 160litre tank (give or take. The 264mph ‘The quick one lol’ drinks it in 12mins.

              60 miles in 15 min though ! Speed costs, how fast do you want to go ?

                I’d like to see a 24h la Mann style race of a Vernon vs say the new Ford focus RS.

                Given all the stops the bugatti would need I bet it would be a close race. The Ford could probably do 200-250miles a tank on a track, and is no slouch. I bet the Vernon would be about 80miles. Then there is the longer refuelling times, given the tank is about 2.5times as big.
