The mother of all sightings...

crayzayjay · 09-19-2003, 09:29 AM

I was driving home late last weekend, turning into my road, when out of the corner of my eye I glimpse an outrageous machine parked on the side of the road. What the hell? A black Ferrari Enzo!! My jaw hit the floor. Naturally, I stopped to admire the car. Then I saw the license plate. V17 JET. Holy crap, it’s Jay Kay’s - I’d seen it in all the recent magazines. Driving slowly past the side of the car, I see he’s sitting in it!! Should I say hi? Nah, give the guy some privacy I thought. So I drove slowly away but when I looked in my rear view mirror I saw a neighbourhood watch guy talking to him so I turned around. What the hell, how often do you see an Enzo, right? His door was now open, so I got out of my car and said hello, and whadayaknow, he’s had a few. He looked groggy and was speaking slowly, slightly slurring his words. Son of a bitch! Driving a 660bhp rocket and he wasn’t quite “with it”!! He said he was "waiting for someone", i should have called the paparazzi

I told him it was an awesome car, had a look at the beautiful engine through the glass, took a few pics with my camera phone (the quality is appalling cos it was dark) but I couldn’t see the steering wheel and display ‘cos he had a jacket placed over it, the b*stard! But all I really wanted was to hear him fire it up. It was pretty late, so I didn’t know how appropriate it was to plead with him to make my wish come true, but thinking back I should have blackmailed the guy. Fire it up, or I call the cops and we’ll see if you’re over the limit! Unfortunately I didn’t think of that at the time, so I didn’t get to hear that glorious twelve.

Still a great sighting though!

Thats so bad ass. He's a dumbass for driving his Enzo drunk though.

Very cool. I wish I could've seen it. I would've sat there all night till he finally started it up...

jeeze. an enzo is pretty damn close to the mother of all sitings... I think I might be more excited to see an original cobra though, just because there are so damned many of those kit cars on the road, and to see a 500,000 dollar original cobra.... I would cream myself... can I get banned for saying that? I hope not...

crayzayjay · 10-07-2003, 06:09 AM

dont worry, you're safe

i almost creamed myself when i saw the Enzo... not quite though, i'd be worried if it got to that stage

actually i remember my sighting of an F40 somehow made more of an impression on me than the Enzo... maybe cos the F40 was in motion... i can still hear that furious engine note 5 years on

YogsVR4 · 10-07-2003, 01:05 PM

To be honest, I'd get more excited to catch a Vanquish then an Enzo. Not that the Enzo isn't a fantastic car, but I don't envision myself in one. The Vanquish on the other hand.... someday....

I see what you mean. But an Enzo is an Enzo, there's not that many around. Vanquish's i see every other day

VenomInMyVeins · 10-12-2003, 07:29 PM

how many enzo's are in the states?

D14D · 11-13-2003, 07:49 PM

I Know Ferrari Did 399 Enzo's

I Had The Privlaige Of Seeing One Of These Beautiesat The 2003 Ny International Auto Show

VenomInMyVeins · 11-14-2003, 02:34 AM

I'll bet he actually did 400, but hid it in his shed

I saw an original Cobra about 5 years ago, on track at a HPDE event. It got a LOT of attention. He only brought it once or twice, but it was enough to make an impression, and yes, it was definitely an original and not a kit. This club gets 4-5 kits per event.

so do you just by chance still have those pics on your phone? if you do can you somehow upload them on the forum?
