Detectives Investigate Ferrari Owner's Story

It appears stefan may in fact be talking ****

 

'Plus, only the driver's side air bag deployed and it had blood on it. . . . .

Detectives were investigating whether Erikssen was actually the driver.

". . .both airbags on the car deployed, but only the driver's side airbag had blood on it, not the passenger side," Brooks said."'

Notice the difference the word 'it' makes in the meaning of the first sentence

 

It was kinda cool how they were talking about the enzo being '' a very safe car," which i guess it is.

 

well, i have seen some news and i have some question, may be in USA
the insurance laws are different than France.

Erickson declares that he was the passenger of the Enzo,
May be an insurance question and responsabilities?
in this case, the insurance turn back the money for his car and gives to him no penalities.
what did you tink?

 

should be a very easy case to match his dna, Really dont even have to do that. Just have him examined & see if his seat belts bruises are on the L or R side

The car had 5 point harnesses

 

If you follow the evening news on your local TV channels you probably haven't missed the reports about a stunning car crash of a rare Ferrari on California's Pacific Coast Highway. A 2003 Ferrari Enzo was involved in a nightly car race with a similarly exclusive Mercedes SLR when it hit a light pole and broke into two halves.

According to the local Police, the driver has been 44-year-old Bel Air resident Stefan Eriksson, which, if we believe media reports, is the same Stefan Eriksson that was employed by Gizmondo Europe until 20 Oct of last year. Leaving a 1000 feet skid mark, Eriksson's Ferrari was estimated to have reached a speed of 200 mph.

Gizmondo, once a hyped company that planned to compete with Nintendo and Sony in the portable game console arena, appears to be on life support these days, as Gizmondo Europe will be liquidated, according to media reports. Eriksson resigned from his executive position at the company in October of last year, after the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet had revealed that he had been convicted twice in the mid 1990s on mobster-related charges.

As for the Ferrari Enzo, which was produced just 399 times and carried a sticker of about $700,000 when new, Eriksson may be able to replace his toy: Gizmondo was famous for its excessive spending habits, which, in the case of Eriksson, included a $100,000 business car allowance and a $3.5 million compensation package for Eriksson.

 

great to see something.

 

Some additional facts regarding bringing a Euro-spec Enzo into the US and DNA in my article in the FML, due online later today and in print, to be mailed this afternoon[/shameless plug].

where is it?

 

Are you talking about your Giornale entry?

 

Yes, I am...

 

Crash aside...what are the laws about bringing in and driving cars under European registration?...and I don't mean DOT/EPA to be titled/plated here in the US

Can you even get insurance beyond Liability?

 

"A 16valve V8 huge engine (...) weighing 1500pounds"??!! The guy has no idea what he's talking about..

 

I've never heard of "Gizmondo" so it mustnt be that big

 

I believe there are certain excemptions to the rules where cars can be imported TEMPORARILY by people who are not citizens of the US (ie. people with green cards, visas etc)

 

Not sure about insurance, but there are details about foreigners bringing foreign cars into the US in my article - as a Silver Subscriber, go to the Silver Subscribed forum and check out the special there...


For everyone else, foreign nationals are allowed to bring foreign cars into the US for up to one year...

 

Anyone want me to bring anything in? One of the reasons i will remain a UK citizen


Carbon, where is the article? I don't see anything about "details about foreigners bringing foreign cars into the US". I just see a small article on the crash.

 

The first article in Giornale is about the crash - there are details in there about foreign nationals, DNA, etc....

 

Does anyone know if he actually beat the SLR?

 

Technically, yes, because when it was all over, the Ferrari did get the pole.

 

Didn't see the post...hmm..Ill try later

 

They should be able to extract DNA evidence on this basis. If he was driving, and has lied about it, that was a good move IMO. Almost as clever as street racing at 120 mph and losing control, risking innocent lives on a public road.

Edited to correct stupidity.
