Jean Bugatti with the Bugatti Royale 'Esders' Roadster, 1932. (metacolor.org) The 1928 to 1931 models even had a 14.7l engine. And a staggering consumption of 37 liters of fuel per hour... |

Something is fucky with the pixels around his head and the lack of a shadow under his raised foot....
Superimposed, probably, but is it to scale or is the car made to look that much bigger? Or was he tiny? |

GD should appreciate this:
Jean Bugatti was just 30 when he died in a freak auto accident in 1939; he veered into a tree to avoid a drunken bicyclist who had sneaked onto a road where he was testing one of this company’s race cars – the Type 57 C that had just won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The auto company, and his father, company founder Ettore Bugatti, never recovered from the loss. |

Thinking about getting a Power Wagon. I'm budgeting for 10 MPG (3-5 off-road) @ $5.00/gallon.
Fully loaded 4.5 tons. 10,000 lbs towing capacity

I think it's kind of an optical illusion, look at the size of the door handle to the height of Jean. He's probably very short.
Really cool car though, it's huge either way. |
