Bugatti Veyron in Scottsdale - driving around!

Carey934 · April 22nd, 2009, 2:42 AM

There is a car show every Saturday afternoon and evening at a shopping center in Scottsdale. Old classic cars, customs and modern cars are shown by their owners in the hundreds. This last saturday someone pulled up, and parked, a Bugatti Veyron and causally walked away from it. It has Nevada license plates on it that read TOPGR

Anyone know anything about this and if it has anything to do with the show?

I have a low quality video of it from my phone I can post if anyone is interested. I've only seen the Veyron on TV and in museums. I've never seen anyone just casually drive one around and park it in a public parking lot and walk away...

Ive seen it around scottsdale a couple of times. The owner is a really nice guy. He let me sit in his LP640 back when he still had one. As far as I know, he or the car have nothing to do with top gear. If anything hes just a fan with shitloads of money.

topgrrrr....

that's why I hate having a personalised number plate. Most of the time it will make you look like a bloody chop.

The owner runs an adult site, dunno if i can name it here but meh.
He was the dude that got all the media attention for driving his LP640 at top speed on that closed highway and i think i posted that vid here sometime ago.

Ah well at least he drives them like they were meant to be driven.. lucky prick images/smilies/lol.gif

Lol, as soon as you mentioned that he runs an adult site I immediately knew who you were talking about! He does a few other things as well aside from running... ahem... a website.

What a small world.
