    Gentlemen, please give Ziad a break...........his intentions are good and he's excited to find a good home for this Enzo. He resorted to us because he knows we all share the same passion and many here, like myself would love to bring this Enzo back to life if it were possible. Like I said before, obtaining this Enzo is a long shot and extremely tedious, but there is no harm in trying.

    I thank some of the members here for backing me up and understanding what I'm doing. I shall not reply back to some of the ignorance being said here along with the disrespecting point-outs. I can see clearly now why Icemanbops deactivated his account and canceled his profile. How do moderators here allow such posts?

    I believe there is one comment here who deserves to be replied at. We actually have a Ferrari dealership in Beirut but they went far away than that. The government contacted Ferrari Italy and told them about this particular Enzo and I've posted earlier before, the factory has it's eyes on it too. Apparently no one reads what I post here but instead they throw accusations left & right such as our fellow member Mike here.

    Tarek, as I earlier told you before, best of luck with the Enzo. I'm sure it will find a new house to stay at other than the customs. We'll stay in touch.

    Regards,

    Ziad

    Thread is now to 21 pages, what a read.... :)

    GOOD LUCK TAREK!

    I saw your post about your 430 a year or so ago, and just drooled at the car, and I've seen you post on other threads. I hope you get it! A "barn find" story maybe coming true.

    Thanks goes to ZiadR for bringing it to our attention.

    A movie could definately be produced out of this story! I wonder who would play PAP? ;)

    Ziad, if nothing else, thank you for bringing the car to our attention and for the entertaining thread. People started to get a bit suspicious of your intentions (myself included) when your role in the story evolved from complete bystander into car-broker; not accusing, just stating. Your intentions may be for the best, but you are talking to a bunch of strangers who only go by what you tell us. Either way, you seem like you're doing a good thing and lets hope it works out.

    Tarek - Best of luck, it would make a number of us (who are not in the running for the car) very happy to see you get it.

    Cheers and good luck!

    Ziad, we all only hope the very best for your and Tareks endeavor, however, you must admit that your story, or at least the way you present it here, does leave some questions open. You will surely understand that if someone comes to this board, with its long history of questionable stories and questionable users, and posts a thread like this, he has to expect critical questions.

    Ziad,

    Thanks for your reply, any chance you could tell me what you mean by your first sentence above as i dont understand it, regarding the dealership in Beirut?

    Secondly, Ferrari vs Tarek? Now that is something else!!

    Regards,

    Matthew

    Is there some kind of time scheme that tells us when there really will be news? Don't get me wrong, but I'm just looking for the next step, the actual contact between buyer and seller.

    Come on Tarek, it'll be a walk in the park :D

    I have no idea how far Beirut is from Lebanon but i would have thought that the dealership would have taken measures to capture this car, who knows, but if they couldnt then who possibly could? It seems to be a very tough call.

    One thing is for sure, that Enzo will go to someone, somewhere at some time. How frustrating would be if it just disappeared? Amazing to see one of these cars just lying about like that, ok its not your typical barnfind but its a sorry state of affairs really. Thats the system i suppose :(

    Totally fascinating thread. I'm surprised there isn't more info leaked about the Enzo on here. Especially considering the wealth and influence of the the members on here. From what I can gather the owner is "Kawegi", not the bank owner that was also mentioned? If he is the owner how did he get it and lose it?

    How would a buyer obtain the Enzo? Is it from a judge's ruling as a previous post suggests? Is it an auction? I'm sure Tarek knows but prolly does not want to post the status of the car to not let someone else maybe get the buy, which I totally understand.

    For all of his intentions, good or bad, Ziad has made alot of wild assumptions, passed them as fact, and laid foundations for others to base hope upon, for him to just pull the rug from under those peoples feet.

    Ziad, no hard feelings, but two tips for you when doing future deals:

    Dont confuse one person with another or two, just because someone has the same name as someone else, it could cost you dear one day.
    Dont back out of a promise, it creates massive negativity, and always has a knock on affect for those dissapointed.

    Hope Tarek well in securing the deal, it should be a great car.


    One departing thought though, the car does not need as much maintanence as assumed on here, the mileage is over stated on here, and the tyres need replacing. Mabye the Lebanese authorities are alot more... accessable than first thought,


    Regards
    Michael James

    Can we get a Photoshop here please? :)

    many graphics come to mind.. sideview of opponents facing each other... Ferrari pro racer vs Tarek and his personal Ferrari on a racetrack... Tarek arm wrestling with Kimi... (or Luca C di M ... or Jean Todt :))
