A Bugatti Overdose

Good chance that you know 'dutch diva' Rosemarijn Atalante Venenbos from her numerous super-enthusiast postings in social media. With her burgundy 'poorman's bugatti' named Amillion she's throwing up dust and turning necks in the vintage car scene. Don't think that the Atalante part is a later added nickname. Atalante is in her passport and possibly also in her genes. Today her observations at a recent meet of Dutch Bugatti owners.

"An angy roaring T35B, a fire spitting T43, a T57 Stelvio and Ventoux passing by like a thunder storm, a cute red dragon CGS car... You had to be quick to get a glimpse of the Bugattis racing over the roads of the south Dutch  countryside. The Dutch Bugatti Club had a party to celebrate for the 60th anniversary, so we all gathered to put the region Brabant up side down! You may think that a Bugatti is hard to get, but this club shows something you would not expect. Youngsters driving Bugattis! Arrogance...? We have never heard of this word in the club. We just like wake up and run to the cars to prep them for the day and of course followed by lots of loud music produced by Bugatti engines while getting the needed dose of exhaust fumes to get a little bit high. The Bugattists are a special species, and they know how to handle the Molsheim creatures... Overtaking each other all the time and making sure to use the cars as Ettore would have wanted, what they are made for, accelerating and speeding. They are just not made to break. And that's something we celebrate all the time, so there we go... VIVE LA MARQUE!!! (while firing a miniature cannon, why not?)"

"They are just not made to break."

I certainly hope not, that would be a pity.

Or maybe this is about the aledged poor brake - performance of pre-war Bugattis?

Lectori Salutem,

Just for the record: the miniature cannon fired is a Winchester 98 black powder 10-gauge blanks salute cannon of ca 1925 vintage.

Salutes, C. R-S

As I understand, the Bugatti Veyron is powered by a "W" engine in "V" configuration, 2 offset banks of cylinders ON each side of the V. But the name is there, even though I have no desire to wreck a Veyron.

As a Bugatti enthusiast for just over sixty years, it delights me to know that their magic still speaks to young people. Like it or not, there is little doubt that the appearance of the Veyron, under the aegis of the VW Group, has done more than anything else could have done to spur the present widespread interest in original pre-1963 Molsheim Bugattis.

Editor: interesting! At first I was under the impression you were of the opposite opinion. This was my biassed vieww.In my opinion the Veyron is an insult to the heritage of Ettore called Veyron has been disastruous for the emotions connected with the make. A big lump of botoxed distaste. But I understand what you try to express and of course you are right in some way.

Objection !
A "Bugatti overdose" is a contradiction in terms ;-)
