A quick look at the IP address makes it all very clear 
Looks like Hugh Jardon won't be back until the New Year as I've just doubled his suspension

I guessed as much.
Codders, i do hope you have just watched TopGear!
Bugatti Veryon  And i believe he was driving it in auto!
W16
4 turbos
1001bhp
0-60 2.5 secs
252mph
£840k
Anyone interested in cars, theres a times online Clarkson review of the Bugatti here:
Times
Even if your not interested, its worth reading from an engineering perspective, took 5 years to develop the gearbox!

Jk intially suspended Hugh Jardon for 2 weeks due to codbashing -see this thread:
http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread....381#post125381
And then Hugh returned with a new username: jkisanob, so JK has doubled his suspention to a month.

Ah Hugh. He does like his bit of Cod tenderising. How will he survive? He should surely know that Cod is a protected species 'cos it can't look after itself.
Oh well, I was quite looking forward to hearing about his Osprey and Opti build.

Quite funny - Clarkson nearly swallowed his teeth describing that one, but what's the deal on it costing £5 mil to make each one, can this be true???

He was certainly raving about it, I doubt any of us will ever be lucky enough to see one in the metal. Wheres the nearest Bugatti dealership? Is there even a U.K importer? I find the £5million figure hard to swallow, having said that I have been reading about the car and the concept for years and there has been alot of speculation about whether or not it would emerge. I think its more of a technological demonstration/ experiment by the VW Audi group to show what they can do, but im sure a few footballers will buy them!

Could well be - loss leaders are nothing new - also the technology will no doubt have many spin offs.

That's what he said on Top Gear. Apparenlty they don't make any profit on these (selling them at a loss in fact). He likened it to Concorde....

i guess it means sponsor me to give codders some grief to get in the sin bin and raise some money for a childrens charity, nice gesture i think
post your pledges here...

Hugh was a bit miffed that JK, did not allow enough time to gather some sponsorship pledges for a worth while charity as it's XMAS, before being sin binned. That is why he created "JKisanob" profile .
As he cannot speak for himself he asked me to put his point across and he is happy for "JKisanob" profile to be deleted. 
So Hugh can get on with some jobs around his house, and get his rib finished in time for next season as his Rib will only take 2-3 months to complete as supposed to 2-3 years

I hadn't thought of it like that! Quite obvious really, are Lambos on the same distribution network? When do you take delivery

yes bit of a shame, and I think that the "Codbashing" that started the suspension was very mild, after all, we all get bashed here from time to time. Take a look at my case:
I own a Cobra - I've been told many times that they're shit (according to members here)
I have an Opti - they're shit (according to members here)
I don't have a strong view as to other members RIBS/equipment/habits/personal views - they are quite entitled to a) buy want they want, b) say what they want and c) act how they want. I have absolutely no comment to make on any of it as I am not a self appointed net policeman and would never criticise others choice. I may offer what little advice I feel qualified to give and am more likely to ask questions then leap to answer them, from theory alone. If you set yourself up for a roasting, you cannot expect to be protected from the backlash. If you continually set yourself up for a roasting despite good advice, then natural justice would dictate that you get roasted - that is the way of the world.
Hugh Jardon is innocent - definitely
Now I'M gonna be away for Christmas....
