    Cliff Meltzer's car. First his F50, now this? Wonder why he's dumping them. He's not the type to be into the vintage scene based on what else he owns.

    the yellow enzo they had also was his.

    Yeah, i talked to a fellow earlier that said the same information. I hear that its headed to the san diego area, which i assume is where your friend lives.

    anything you can say about him that wouldnt be too much? Does he already have a nice collection? Would he track it or just keep it in the garage?

    Shared some stories about NEVER being driven. Cliff's a super nice guy, but he *never* drives his cars. I remember aksing him about his 288, and his response was that the last person to drive it (AHEM R) was almost a year ago, to take it over for an oil change.

    Excuse me for my Noobieness, but who is Cliff Meltzer. His name is mentioned quite often, but I don't know who he is. It seems like he has a beautiful collection of cars, but he is getting rid of a lot of them. If possible, can someone spread some light on me?

    Lol.. John, Cliff was supposedly (I'm not exactly sure) a top executive of Cisco Systems from their early days. Dan (Bobafett) knows him personally I assume so he'd be the one to answer your question most aptly. Cliff has/had one of the best collections of cars ever IMO. F50, Enzo, McLaren F1, 288 GTO etc.. the guy was a true pimp but different sources say different things. Some think he's getting a Veyron.. he doesn't need to sell shiet to get that.. that guy could probably buy all the Veyrons... another source says he's getting a large winery/vineyard.. which could cost an arm & a leg depending on size/location. Either way, who cares in the end.. the yellow car was the Sultan of Brunei's car according to salesman Jack at SVAG. Anyway, hopefully that clears up some doubts.. :)

    Cliff is a great guy and has an incredible collection. He does drive his cars but some of the rarer ones he drives a lot less than others. I know he also does track days with some of his collection and he is a true enthusiast.
    He has returned to Cisco, dont ask me how I know :)

    O wow, no wonder this guy is so well known. I wonder what he has up his sleeve, selling all those cars.
