Bugatti, Ducati...Brands Hatch

I spotted a Desmosedici RR passing a Bugatti Veyron in a traffic jam outside Brands Hatch yesterday.
You don't see two beauties like that together very often! I almost dropped my Mr. Whippy

I saw a cream/white Veyron at the bottom of South Molton Street last week, I didn't realise they were left hookers. The guy was parked up waiting for someone and it was ticking over, prompted me to think:-

1)How many gallons is that per hour at tickover?
2)Didn't they have to fit 16 radiators to disipate all that heat?

Well I bet when you bought it you thought it'd only need the one expansion tank, or was this sold to you as a performance benefit only available on the "Final Edition"?
