Ferrari Enzo crash in Malibu

I'd even drive one sober!

I think the question is would the world be a better place if he had not survived. GJ

 

How does a civilian check out license plates BTW!

 

BadaBing. He's running out of cars

Ferrari Owner Is Minus His Second Car
Stefan Eriksson's priceless Enzo was totaled in a crash last month. On Sunday, his very pricey Mercedes was impounded.

Stefan Eriksson's famous exotic car collection keeps shrinking.

First, the former European videogame executive's rare Enzo Ferrari was destroyed in a mysterious crash Feb. 21 on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

Then, on Sunday, he lost his 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, valued at more than $400,000. Beverly Hills police confiscated the vehicle after Scotland Yard said the car might have been stolen.

The officers stopped Eriksson's wife, Nicole Persson, 33, about 2:30 p.m. on the corner of Beverly Drive and Wilshire Boulevard because an officer found the car's European license plate suspicious.

The officer then discovered that Persson lacked a driver's license and that the car was not registered in the United States.

"We contacted Scotland Yard and subsequently learned that the car was perhaps stolen" out of the United Kingdom, Lt. Mitch McCann said.

The entire incident was caught on tape by a 13-year-old exotic car buff who has filmed Eriksson's vehicles in the past.

Beverly Hills authorities said they didn't have details of the British police case.

But Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Phil Brooks said that an unidentified financial institution says it owns the Mercedes and that a financial institution in Scotland says it was the owner of the Enzo.

This leaves Eriksson with only one of the three exotic cars he imported to the United States late last year, Brooks said.

"He brought in through San Diego two Ferraris and the Mercedes and said they were show cars and that he was not going to drive them on the streets," Brooks said.

Last month's crash prompted both an accident investigation and a probe by the Sheriff's Department's Homeland Security Division.

Although no one was injured in the crash, the investigation has generated significant attention because of the strange circumstances and the fact that it destroyed one of only 400 Enzo Ferraris ever built.

Eriksson, who lives in a gated Bel-Air estate, told deputies who arrived at the scene that he was not the driver and that another man, named Dietrich, had been behind the wheel.

Eriksson said Dietrich fled the scene.

But detectives said they were skeptical of his version of events.

Investigators have taken a swab of Eriksson's saliva to match his DNA against blood found on the Ferrari's driver's-side air bag.

Eriksson also told deputies that he was a deputy commissioner of the police department of a tiny transit agency in the San Gabriel Valley.

A few minutes after the crash, two men arrived at the crash scene, identified themselves as homeland security officers and spoke to Eriksson at length before leaving.

According to Car & Driver magazine, the Mercedes SLR McLaren is capable to going 200 mph and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

The car didn't just capture the eye of Beverly Hills police.

Spyder Dobrofsky, a 13-year-old car enthusiast, happened to be at the scene of Sunday's traffic stop and switched on his camera.

The teenager has photographed cars in Eriksson's collection before and knew immediately that the McLaren was his.

"The car really stands out because of the British plate," Spyder said.

Spyder said Eriksson's wife was with a young child when she was pulled over.

On the tape, Spyder asks the tow truck operator called to remove the Mercedes where he's taking it.

The man jokes: "To my house."

 

wreckedexotics has updated their page on the Enzo wreck with some pretty good stuff. More photos of the Enzo before the accident and photos of the SLR too.

can be confirmed, that the wrecked enzo is the same as the enzo at the motorshow shown at wreckedexotics ?
so it may be easy to ensure the s/n !

 

just keeps getting better huh?

 

ditto, how do you do that license plate thing?..

 

Read more carefully, Trevor sat in some "good samaritans" car while borrowing his cell phone. Later THAT guy - the one that had let Trevor sit in his car and use his cell phone - found the clip under the seat.

I am also guessing that it was actually a 10 mm / 40 cal. - a typical round for a Glock. I don't believe that they even make a 40 mm. I don't think that anybody does, cartainly not as a handgun.

Scottie

 

I wonder if anyone has verified the claim?

"Eriksson may pass. Ehren Bragg, a Bugatti dealer, says the Swede has a Veyron on order." - (last paragraph of usatoday.com story)

 

I have the 40mm mounted in the lower grill................


Recoil slows you down, a lil' bit. Use it sparingly.

Just PRINTING the money for an Enzo...why didn't I think of THAT!!??!

I feel bad for her....a sick feeling, watching them leave on the hook........

 

Not closed.... a lil' padlock will hang on it and NO MORE POSTING......

Did anyone ever put a name to the Italian Enzo crash owner?

That thread went on forever as well............I've been away for awhile....

 

Man what an idiot. 3 Exotic's.. unregistered, probably stolen, uninsured, look how special we are driving around Rodeo Drive. Hilarity at its fullest. Dude go buy a Honda, maybe youll be able to afford to drive one of those LEGALLY.

 

Well fellas, he has just been arrested for suspicion of theft. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrested him last night at 9:50pm, and he was booked this morning at 9:04am.

bad boys, bad boys
whatcha gonna do
whatcha gonna do when they come for you

 

Like I always said: "not all that glitters is gold."

Why am I laughing??

 

Because it's always fun to see liars and cheats get caught in their own web.

 

I haven't looked through 66 (!) pages of postings to see if this is duplicate information, but it's quite a fascinating summary:

Looks like genius-boy will have plenty of time to make a few showerpals as hes a "no-bail immigration hold" and numerous other charges from 3 counts GTA for the cars to making false statements etc........
hopefully hes up on his G-Slang

 

Latest news:
Police serve search warrant on Eriksson's Bel Air home. Eriksson arrested.
Police tow, impound Mercedes SLR that Eriksson's wife was driving.
Location of black Ferrari Enzo unknown.

And the legl owners of the three vehicles want them back. I wonder why. hmmmm............

 

well...the two that are left.

 

And you wondered why?

It's simple, he failed to pay for the cars he did Not own.

The Bank owns it.... and they want it back. From what I heard, they've been trying to repo the 2 Enzo's and the mclaren but the bank couldn't find it.

I always thought Enzo and Maclaren owners are well above and beyond everybody else but I guess not. I don't have an Enzo (yet) but at least all of my vehicles are paid for and title in hand.

Mr. Eriksson is a scumbag POS and hope he dies in prison, good luck assH***.

 

WreckedExotics has a photo of Erikson being taken to jail. Looks like a fake though.
