    I thought the yellow enzo was Ziad 2's. I don't think it's been longer enough since Joe's last news flash for another update to clarify..although *breaking news* appears Mike has pulled the pin on F-Chat. Joe's probably scrambling to get the story out now..lol

    Thank you gentlemen for your kind words and best wishes and your support in this matter.

    Seeing this Enzo being brought back to life is important to me as much as it is important to all of you...........it is extremely sad to see such a valubale and important car being ruined and humiliated in this manner.

    I am giving it my best shot and utilizing all my resources in Beirut as well as Ziad's help to obtain this car. The car is not a secret in Beirut, apparently everyone knows about it and over the last years a few known people in our region have tried to get the car, obviously with no success.

    I will keep you posted of any progress and hopefully this Enzo can find a better shelter soon away from the disputes of the parties involved.

    Best regards,

    Tarek

    Following this developing story, a series of dramatic turn of events are being reported within the last 24 hours:

    Icemanbops makes a post alleging that his previous posts were only meant in jest, that Tarek K is a respected rock star, apologizes, and asks a $600,000 question. The post is interpreted by community members as bewildering and confusing, and it raises questions as to how a man who was so sure yesterday can sound so unsure today?

    Ruf MD chimes in suggesting that there ought to be a gentlemanly code-of-conduct amongst F-Chat members whereby we do not sabotage one another's efforts as it relates to cars we have an interest in. Not only is he 100% correct, but this suggestion is greeted with enthusiasm & support by all community members. Icemanbops has no comment.

    In a stunning development Icemanbops composes a "Goodbye" letter and posts it. It is linked to the soundtrack from the acclaimed song "Dont Cry for Me Lebanon". The post suggests that he is now offended, and that he suddenly has no further interest in a clapped-out Enzo that sits under armed guard in a country with no extradition treaty. Sources suggest this shocking development and inexplicable "u-turn" lends credence to some of the doubts that have grown surrounding Icemanbops. He suggests that he will take all his cars including a red Enzo and a black Enzo and enjoy them all by himself. So there.

    "Sources" claim Ziad 2 is said to be planning to kidnap the aforementioned Enzo by storming he Beirut customs facility armed with what he refers to as "cash money". The reasoning behind this scheme seems to rely solely upon the premise that a clapped-out red Enzo + a yellow Enzo, is better than just a yellow Enzo. Rafi S immediately issues a statement denying that he is NOT the aforementioned source, but reminds me that it is still not too late to place a deposit. He reminds me that he has "connections" but fails to elaborate on exactly what or who they are. He supplies his bank details meanwhile....

    MGD416 tries to send Mike a PM but it doesn't work. FYI Mike = Icemanbops.

    RemyZero becomes confused. The F-Chat community adopts this same posture...

    Tarek K offers me a job. I respond with kindly appreciation.

    An image surfaces showing that Pap348 has been scheming and lying to the community all along to get the car for himself, and he is already on the ground in Beirut! His plan appears to be to charm local custom officials who have likely never seen a pair of legs such as his before....

    Ever the eloquent gentleman, Tarek K offers acknowledgment for all he support he has received thus far.

    More news as it breaks.

    NEVER underestimate the PAPster!

    I was rooting for Tarek though 'cuz he was such a nice guy, has offered me plenty of romance advice vis a vis Lady Valeria, and in his last boat picture had a very lovely lady on the top deck (I have this magnifying glass I use on my screen here)....

    Now the only caution I'll offer is DON"T START IT ON THAT GAS!!!

    "Cuz when Reverend/Boxer George Foreman did that,with his F40, on some stale gas it was hell to pay and it ruined his CATS and made a stinky smell all over the neighborhood! Look here!

    I think there was only one CATS I don't remember......:)

    +2. This is a great thread.

    Incidentally, Tarek is the real deal. He is always helpful and provides valuable feedback on the car issues, which is why I subscribed in the first place.

    Hope all works out for you with the Enzo.

    Tarek, you being cool, calm and collective (as usual) is the only way to be in this situation! Once again good luck.
