If he's interested, he'll let me know. I mean, you have to realize, he can send this car back to Bugatti for fresh paint, and it won't dent his pocket.

Yeah he's pretty much only going to get what Bugatti suggests.

He said he pumps 100 at the redwood city 76. The upkeep is immense!

Nice man. Not a fan of the Veyron myself, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. You're now one of the lucky few to drive a true piece of future automotive history.

So, is this guy like the owner of OPPO or something?

He started the gigantic Chinese electronics company that spawned OPPO. We OPPO employees are mere mortals

true, though collectors know that original paint is always worth more!

OMG, you are sssssooooo lucky! Congrats on the ground based plane ride.

The must have been the Veryon 16.4 on 85 that passed my ex-coworker in his CLK340. He couldn't believe he saw one but by the time he was able to bring his cell for a pic and try to catch up it was gone.

Ground based plane ride is 100% correct!

lucky, lucky guy. I'm so jealous. Damn man, I keep trying to convince friends and roomates of mine that made big money with web 2.0 to buy something like this.

I keep telling them 'dude you'll be the only 24 year old with a Veyron on the planet' but these fools have no interest in the cars. Lame. Utterly lame.

Some google inhabitants were walking around near the buildings, they probably at least heard the thing. It went by the front 3-4 times and the back side at least 3 times... at 3digits mph.
