Do we know if any witnesses saw an SLR? I'm thinking the SLR and Deitrich are equally nonexistent.

 

I think someone said there was a witness of the SLR

 

Did this guy run the car on foreign plates and registration?

If so...He *might* have only had liability insurance

 

Oh boy... I just got in from the office and I've only read 2 pages of this thread. First, let me get settled in, grab a can of soda, chips, and read this long thread all night long, starting from the beggining... I'll be right back! Wait, did I just make this thread longer?

-B-

 

yeah bhane, u just did, i mean "WE" just did.. haha

 

Here's Cliff's for anyone who doesn't want to read everything:

1) Enzo crashes at about a quarter to 7 this morning in Malibu on the PCH
2) Someone from the Enzo apparently fled the scene
3) Owner of the Enzo claims he was the passenger at the time of the accident, and that his friend, known only as "The German" according to Fox news was driving and fled the scene. Owner of the Enzo had a blood-alcohol level of .09
4) Enzo was said to be racing a Mercedes SLR
5) Police still trying to find the SLR and "The German"
6) Enzo split in half; engine found completely severed from the car
7) Blood found on the drivers side of the Enzo
8) No fatalities

I hope that's all correct, someone correct me if I'm off on anything.

 

That's gotta suck - you finally get your big break on TV and they spell your name wrong.

For the record it should be Lederman. These people call themselves "journalists", really??

Speshull Ops

 

FWIW, I heard that the local stations shook down the local dealers for interviews. I guess we know who bit!

 

Good job with that one!

 

Welcome to the "merged" thread Bhane!

 

This news just came in. The owner has just come out with his latest version of the full story. Under his current version of the story it seems that the owner and the driver, Dieter, had just left Sprockets and when they got to the highway the owner tried to touch Dieter’s monkey causing Dieter to loose control of the car. He says this also explains how the blood from his busted lip got on the driver's airbag. Here are their pictures taken at Sprockets just before the crash:

we heard about the enzo crash,one of the guy's there stated you might be trying to find out who owned the enzo, so i came here , and by the 3 rd page, they where right, you are trying to find out who's car it was, by knowing the car is quite rare....and you guys are right sooo many post here in such a short space of time..............must be some record...................we at the poor alfa site never had such speed of post... take care , and keep the shiney carbon side up...

 

We know who the Enzo belongs to, we just don't know exactly what happened, because the story is so....wild.

 

I guess Jim has a buyer for his body panlels now.

 

the enzo belonged to Stefan Eriksson

 

I wonder if this is the same person mentioned in this article? Seems fairly likely...

Tiger Telematics, the US parent company of struggling handheld console firm Gizmondo, has revealed that it has offered the stock, IP and patents of its Smart Adds subsidiary as equity on a $21.2 million loan from two shareholders.

Under the terms of the deal, the loan - which is well overdue to be repaid - is being converted into a Sterling loan of GBP 12.68 million ($22.46 million), which is to be paid in full by June 30th this year.

However, there´s a catch - the loan will have to be repaid in full on March 30th unless Tiger Telematics can raise $75 million in new equity or debt by that date, which the company says it is currently working towards securing. In the eventuality that it can get the $75 million, GBP 1.68 million of the loan must be repaid immediately, with the remainder to come before June 30th.

If the company doesn´t get its financing, and can´t repay the loan, the two shareholders will be compensated by being handed the patents and intellectual property rights to the Smart Adds system, which pushes video ads to mobile devices (specifically, the Gizmondo), as well as the stock of the Smart Adds Inc subsidiary.

The loan was received from major shareholders David Warnock and Simon Davies in May 2005 in the form of two short-term loans - one payable on October 31st 2005, and the other on November 30th, 2005.

Originally, the loans were underwritten by just over a million shares of Tiger Telematics´ common stock, and were described in the company´s 10-K regulatory filing last September as being "guaranteed by the company and by Carl Freer and Stefan Eriksson, personally."

Freer and Eriksson both departed from Gizmondo on October 20th last year, with Eriksson in particular leaving under a cloud after it was revealed that he, along with two other Gizmondo staff members, had convictions in Sweden for mobster-related charges including financial fraud.

At the time, Michael Carrender - who replaced Freer as the CEO of Gizmondo - told the press that an independent counsel would be appointed to look into irregularities in Gizmondo´s transactions under Freer and Eriksson´s tenure.

Late last year, the firm confirmed that valuation and appraisal-consulting firm Marshall and Stevens had been appointed to assist in the investigation of a number of transactions in which Freer and Erkisson may have had personal interest.

Among the transactions being examined is a payment of $3.5 million to software development firm Northern Lights, which was co-owned by Freer and Eriksson, payments of $174,000 to Freer´s wife for consultancy services, and a complex transaction which saw Panama-based Asiatic Bank and Finance paying $7.6 million, which was owed to Freer and Eriksson, to a number of small companies on behalf of Gizmondo - with the sum then being reimbursed to Freer and Eriksson by Gizmondo directly.

As yet, the company has not announced any results from its internal investigation into these and several other transactions.
