View Full Version : TT chasing a Bugatti EB110 on a bicycle!
It happened this morning, I had another VERY lucky day in Geneva ;) another hint will be in my signature later today :P
I was tempted to put this in the jokes section :D it's the shakiest video you will ever see! I had the camera hanging from my neck and I was chasing it since some time already, so I was tired and unable to control the movement of my body anymore :D

Luckily at the end of the video, it stopped at a red light, so I was able to take a good pic (only one but well...).
hell you don't see an EB110 every day on the road!

LMAO.....thats great stuff!! :lol: I know the feeling although for me its on foot or by car as I don't have a bike - and can't rent one :)
Thankfully the light went red for you, often they seem to do the exact opposite of what you want :D I'm not sure I would have been able to take a good pic after that bike ride - would have been shaking too much :P

:lol: Great video TT!
Can't wait to see the picture... :D
Actually it wasn't that easy to take a picture at that stop light :D
And it would be too mean to tell you it will be on my website in 4 or 5 months ;) so here it is:

Oh yes, signature updated with a couple more cars spotted today :P
As for my website, for the first time I had to shut it down because I used all the b/w I have for this month :bah: It will be back June 1st with Lambo meeting in the Alps pics ;)

Damn its amazing what people just drive around on the streets over there :shock: The sig is also very promising, I think you might just see all the Enzo's produced before you die at this rate :P
Congrats on the site and getting so many visitors - I think you will need to increase your b/w since the number of visitors is only going to increase :D
Damn! The EB110 is one rare beast, i narrowly missed out on seeing one at the Bentley dealership in manchester a while ago... i got told too late.
Not had chance to see the video yet (bleeding NTL and proxies) but i hope you will put it on your website given time, so we can all have a laugh :P :wink:
And the Enzo's.... not to mention the sneaky SLR :twisted: when can we expect to see those pics?

Hahahah what a great vid TT 0X :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
PS: do you always behave like an idioot :D a couple weeks ago I chased as SLK55 AMG but didn't make it because he went to the highway :x

05-25-2005, 12:17 PM
LOL, I'm not surprised at all to hear the "chasing" , sound very much like TT's daily business
congrats for the 9th ENZO!
Awesome sight dude :shock:.. Very funny vid btw :P
ROFL that was nice indeed!
I would be laughing so much if I was riding my EB110 and saw a crazy guy on a bike running to take some pics of my car :lol: but I would do the same if I were you
Bugatti? I only know them by pics, I have never seen one in my hole life :(

05-25-2005, 12:54 PM
I'm not gonna call you a maniac as I would probably do the same. but great effort dude :D

TT, if you had some good old Texas Chili (kidney beans for the non-americans) , it would have given you some extra propulsion - you might have overtaken the EB110 then :)

Congrats on the site and getting so many visitors - I think you will need to increase your b/w since the number of visitors is only going to increase :D
My provider could increse it soon.. fingers crossed :roll: or else I will need to buy a whole server like JW :D

And the Enzo's.... not to mention the sneaky SLR :twisted: when can we expect to see those pics?
Don't want to scare you, but there are around 800 pics in the queue atm :shock:
Hahahah what a great vid TT 0X :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
PS: do you always behave like an idioot :D a couple weeks ago I chased as SLK55 AMG but didn't make it because he went to the highway :x
I don't call it to behave like an idiot :D I just try my best to take pics of nice cars, and if I have to run, cycle, swim, jump, fly, I do it!

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Would someone please stop the room from spinning? i'd like to get off now.
TT, you are absolutely hilarious :D i'm waiting for the Konigsegg chase on rollerskates :lol:
HAHAA indeed it would be nice to spice it up every time in a different way! There is a lake in Geneva, I could buy an SLR camera with some big ass lense and use a windsurf too!
Anyway, definitely, as funny as I could seem, the bicycle hunting is just perfect in town! by feet I kept missing stuff (like a CGT a couple of weeks ago :(), with the bicycle so far I have no missed cars :D

Maybe a short burst of happines and determination :wink:
I would acted exactly the same!

TT, I told you that the bicycle is THE SHIT! :D haha
I had an audition for a bike messenger job here in Stockholm, I ride that bike for 6 hours thorugh whole town and I notcied my knee was bad so I had to say no to they job :(

That vid is so funny, but at the same time really impressive. An EB110 on the roads!!! :shock: Btw, were you giving full throttle chasing the Bugatti? :lol:
Though it's really funny to see, it isn't actually a bad idea to use a bike to hunt exotics down in a city. Maybe I should re-use my bycicle again :)

that's what i call carHUNTING! :D
...
What was that scream about? :D
Maybe a short burst of happines and determination :wink:
I would acted exactly the same!
The EB was going from 1st to 2nd gear and I had to self-motivate myself to accelerate on that crappy bike :D
...
BTW, are the 9 Enzos different or there is one repeated??? Now there're 391 still to be seen!
Of course I mean 9 different Enzos!
4 Rosso Corsa
2 Rosso Scuderia
2 Giallo Modena
1 Nero
...
I had an audition for a bike messenger job here in Stockholm, I ride that bike for 6 hours thorugh whole town and I notcied my knee was bad so I had to say no to they job :(...
that sucks Davide :bah: ! My problem was the ass actually. After 4 hours I wanted to unscrew it from my body!!! Not an ergonomic nike for sure
...
That vid is so funny, but at the same time really impressive. An EB110 on the roads!!! :shock: Btw, were you giving full throttle chasing the Bugatti? :lol:
...
Yes, full throttle! Sadly it was the third chase of the day, so my performance wasn't really the best possible :D
I really need a co-hunter to shoot some vids from "outside" the action :D should be pretty funny :D

That is one of the funniest things I have watched. :D
Such drive. Such determination. Such passion.
It is official, you TT, are a crazed, car loving man.
Many would simply call it a missed opportunity, not TT though. Where there is a will, there is a way. :D :D
xxleasxx
05-26-2005, 07:44 PM
good job Chasing it down! I woulda done the same!
only diff is that I woulda stood infront of the car at the light :twisted: then I woulda taken all the pics i wanted :mrgreen:
Or maybe you would have been suck into the air intakes and splitted out a second afterward from the back of the car :D
xxleasxx
05-26-2005, 08:03 PM
