    Thanks to you! YOU were the one that requested the investigation.

    It was quality time spent with Lil' Bull as well! Kinda of a cross between Space Shuttle recovery efforts and a fun Easter Egg hunt!

    Discussions about respect for the law, resisting temptation, knowing personal limitations........... LOTS of good Father/Son stuff there.

    Sometimes poor folks are rich, in other ways. The only things you keep are what you give away.

    OK, but I've no camera, and a computer neophyte as well!

    We'll work on it. Most are still in the floor of my Ferrari, except those that went to school with Lil' Bull. 8th grade show and tell!

    It's a sad pile at my feet now, closest I'll ever get to being surrounded in Enzo!

    We did put the largest metal blob behind my chair, where the engine belongs.

    VROOOOM, VROOM !

    I know! I told Scott on the way down he should have brought his video cam for documentation. Not really much excitement, really.

    More like picking up cans, for recycle.

    Who you callin' "Middle Aged"?!!! LOL

    Brings to mind the SNL skit, "Middle Aged Man" superhero.
    "We know where our Warranties are!" LOL

    Search of the net has pic of Dahr Jamail at "Titty Bingo" site. I think that's Willie Nelson's sis on keyboards! Have to give the CD a spin.

    Can someone make a positive ID on this? Where's our thread starter?
    I don't think we've got the family tree straight, as of now.

    Joe is plaintiff's attorney "Polybutyl piping", Rice University Fountain Plaza
    Randall, formerly of Justice Records (Waylon Jennings "Right for the Times" w/Jesse Dayton) or
    Dahr, lead singer/guitar of Titty Bingo?

    Not that it matters to me, personally.

    When I need a camera, I buy one of those cardboard ones at Walgreen's!

    Sad really, Dad and I both had really good SLRs in the old days, I was Head Photographer of the High School newspaper, back when that was a double-entendre! (1976)

    It's all gathering dust since Dad died.

    They did get some good shots with a digital when The World's Fastest Art Car was displayed at the Rice University Art Gallery in 2003. Those were the first I've seen that rivaled the richness of film originals, but files were huge!
    Can't post 'em here! ;)

    For two reasons I dont belive this is an Enzo:
    1. If you pause the first clip, you can count the "bars" in the rims - and this one got 6 "bars" and the Enzo got 5.

    2. (I might be mistaken) but I dont think anyone have allready changed there
    rims on their Enzo.

    I havent read the full thread, so if anyone has allready figured this out - and it turned out to be a.....ehh....lets say Ford, then please excuse me for this post! :)

    Paul,

    I've got a box of carbon fiber here that says it's an Enzo.

    Also, under Texas (Houston) Ferrari spotters thread, several Fchat members known to all here have also verified the account.

    If you want a pic I think you'll have to go to FoH, were it is probably locked down out of site. They are good with "Customer confidentiality".

    Go read both threads, it was no Ford!! Although news accounts here called it a "burning Corvette"! We wish!

    Tell 'em come on over, The World's Fastest Art Car is not hard to find!

    We can lay em out in the warehouse like the shuttle.

    I've been thinking about a trip to the dealer to see if they'd show it to me.
    NO CAMERAS ALLOWED over there. As I said over in the Texas (Houston) Spotters thread, we take good care of millionaire lawyers here!

    The firemen may have also taken some shots. I'm going by the station later.
    I've got the union logos on my cars. ;)

    FWIW, all the pieces I have fit in a 12" x 12" x 6" BOX. LOL!

    It was red to start with I believe. Can't you see it as red in the first video clip or am I mistaken?

    Be careful writerguy! Laws of libel and slander, after all.

    I've heard he's a GOOD guitar player!

    I prefer Alan Haynes myself.
    Alan is quite the southern gentleman. He was very gracious, meeting my daughter and gf. Hell, he can sit down, nod "Hello", and never miss a note of a blues lead!

    I know "Wrecked exotics" is wanting a pic REAL BAD!

    Also,

    Not "wall". Should read: "Curb, esplanade, fence, then 36" oak tree".

    How you like that narrative on parts recovery?

    You can find that silver lining in any cloud.... if he had hit the wall the car may have done better than the driver (WASTE OF FLESH! in my opinion...) slander be damned

    I don't think so, Carbon. The first video, as well as the only recovered painted fragment..... Texas (Houston) Spotters.....is RED.

    Let you know what the firemen say.......
