An Enzo in the water!

Targa Newfoundland yesterday

quads · 09-16-2011, 07:39 AM

why does he need a radar detector in a closed road race?

he spends most of his time making excuses

THE TECH · 09-16-2011, 08:42 AM

Wow!

He wanted to know how far the closest McDonald's was.

DiavelM3 · 09-16-2011, 08:44 AM

Thats actually an FXX, not an Enzo..

Don't think so. Ferrari doesn't allow owners to keep the FXXs. The guy even mentions in the video that it may be time to upgrade to an FXX.

Nope it is an Enzo that has been modded in Europe.

You are correct. It is actually, a "Edo" Enzo. It is a modified Enzo that looks like a FXX. It's no longer a Enzo but not an FXX either.

Stuff happens. Glad to see the driver is ok. Glad to see Roland Linder (instructor) too. I haven't seen him in years! He used to own a number of Fcars and take part in a number of events here in the Mile High city...

Without digging into it a little further, one would think it was an FXX. Look at the rear end. It is a modded Enzo made to look like a FXX

Twinbo · 09-16-2011, 11:52 AM

This guy owns a shop here in Calgary that makes ridiculous cars. Novitech blown 430's twin turbo Gallardo's etc. Shame about the Enzo but I'm sure he will have something else built to fill the void.
Also, Targa remains a life goal since I think it is still one of the purest races around.

stefan · 09-16-2011, 01:38 PM

Holy crap I've seen that guy in Calgary. I thought he was a drug dealer not gonna lie. Didn't know he owned some legit shops!

He handled that incredibly well actually lol.

BMW Fanatic · 09-16-2011, 03:30 PM

What will he drive now? Maybe the Novi F430, TT Gallardo, F50 or the Saleen S7

This guy deals with cars like no other, he owns his dealership and uses his cars for pure racing. What a life!

redline9001 · 09-16-2011, 03:58 PM

Just do a google search for ZR auto and see how big of d-bag this guy really is, only thing positive i can say about him and his crew is they drive their cars like they are suppose to be driven... not a single garage queen in the lot...

gbrett5 · 09-17-2011, 09:59 AM

There are long transit stages in Targa where you must follow regular rules of the road, including speed limits, so perhaps that is why he felt it necessary to have radar detector..

We were the fifth or sixth car through the stage after he put it in the drink. We all had to just transit through that stage as a result of the incident. We saw him but thought it was a yellow canoe!

bigjae1976 · 09-17-2011, 10:41 AM

I thought he took things pretty well...he just put an Enzo in the water!

To us an Enzo is a dream car, even if we got to drive it for 30 seconds it would be absolute bliss. He can afford to buy it 10 times over and put 9 in the water if he wanted to.

gbrett5 · 09-18-2011, 06:48 AM

There was a yellow canoe!

We were driving one of the four Mazda Miatas. You can read more about the fun at http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/17/f...he-final-days/

That blog is written by the navigator in one of the cars that Flyin' Miata entered. They also had a Miata with a V8 engine driven by Keith Tanner from Flyin' Miata. Crazy car. http://www.targamiata.com/index.php.
