    Crazy Car!!!! I would love to see that in the flesh. I think only one exists right now but maybe they might make another one for ZR. That would be awesome!!

    Anybody had any bad experiences with ZR Auto? I recently bought a 355 in Vancouver that had the 30k major done at ZR and I now discover that very likely the gaskets, seals, etc. were invoiced but not installed. Only belts, tensioners done So now I'm facd with doing the same engine out service again!!

    Ouch, sorry to hear that man.

    If they didn't install them then where did they go? that seems REALLY sketchy if true. I hope everything works out for you, and please keep us updated.

    "Edo competition is certain: The MC 12 Corsa will find a new owner soon. Will it be Zahir Rana?
    The doors already display the Canadian flag and the driver’s name “Zahir Rana”. Edo Karabegovic was trying to surprise him with this treat."

    Excerpt taken from: http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/-edo-competition-mc12-corsa-tested-by-zahir-rana-ar53818.html

    Can also find the quote on edo-competition.de if familiar with the German language.

    Very Curious...

    But my question is this: Did Edo build one for Zahir or did Zahir build one? Or both? (username) Rhyno posted pics in the Maserati thread suggesting that the MC12 (currently in cgy) was built to Edo spec (not sure of the motor though) by Zahir.

    I read that in the article. As it's been a month, I wonder if he got the car.

    As for the current MC12, as far as I know it isn't Edo spec. It has had ECU and exhaust upgrades, and now has 700hp. However I'm not sure these parts are by Edo.

    Until the roads clean up. Picking it up from the bodyshop, has to be out by Saturday, my condo garage in Edmonton has my Testarossa in it(No room left). Need a few weeks so I can protectively prep it to take it to my McMurray house.
    Will pay $100/week to keep it inside and warm!
    Anyone? if so PM need and I will call you.
    Thanks

    Spotted an MC12 today complete with the Edo gear. Also saw a few R8's, black Arnage, orange Elise, etc.

    Only in my dreams :D

    Quite a humbling experience driving with the big dollar cars. My wife really loved ZR's green Gallardo. I think I'm going to have to find a way to make some more money or just trade the wife in for a more economical model :)

    It's more fun (and probably cheaper ;)) to make more money!

    Did I read somewhere here that Calgary is getting a Ferrari dealership? Is that Zahir's? I recall him mentioning a while back that he wanted to get an authorized Ferrari or Lamborghini dealership.

    Sounds like sage advice, especially since I happen to like my wife :)



    Calgary will soon have a Ferrari dealer. I don't believe Zahir owns the new dealership. Ferrari Maserati of Alberta's showroom should open in two or three months. I was told their service department should open in a month or so.

    Sounds like a fun trip! A couple of my friends went to Banff and reported seeing you guys. Well, and I quote:
    "There was a green Lamborghini and a yellow Ferrari. Looked really edgy."

    Saw a mint condition grey Viper GTS Coupe in Marda Loop. One of the first generation ones. I've always thought those were much better than the newer Vipers.

    I must agree with you about the GTS.

    Saw a couple of Bentley Flying Spurs (yawn...) and an Aston Martin Vantage on Hwy 2 today.

    An electrician friend of mine thought the same thing. He kept telling every one that when his wife turned forty the was going to trade her in for two twenty year olds.

    Her reply was " Ha!! your not wired for 220."
