Don't get the bit about the Enzo's being stolen from the UK.
It shows pictures of the cars in the UK with him driving

read thorugh bits of it, the guy sounds like he has more money than sense wrecking an Enzo and a SLR within the space of a year.

Interesting design features on Ferraris... When you are going fast, if you hit a bump then the car will take off becase you don't get any down force anymore
I like it how Ferrari quoted them on a repair...

Cheeky that, steal the car in the UK and leave the same plates on over there. He could at least have got some fake UK plates instead of the blatently obviously stolen ones.
He's brave, I'll give him that.

this is what i was thinking??
and as for the reconstruction of what happens, the video clip is aload of shite. the car goes off the road, onto the grass sidewatys, then he get control, drives straight along the grass, sees a pole, next thing the boot flys off, and th ecar turns sideways and goes through the pole and splits in half. look at the vid again, and it looks like they've just decided themselfs that thsat is what happend, and not really worked it out, lol.

Perhaps they are meaning the outstanding finance when they say they're stolen, and they're not actually taken from another owner.

Yeah they were leased - 2 of the Enzos and other cars as M2RTY said. It was in the Mail on Sunday a few weeks ago in an article about Gizmondo.
