Yes, that was the Swedish fellow that was racing his mate in an SLR and apparently the driver, who was an unknown German guy legged it!!

AFPMSL. What a crock of shit!

is this the guy who skipped town with a few quid and then bought the car, claimed his mate was racing an slr when it crashed and spread itself over the best part of amile, ran away, blamed everyoen else, then they found the blood from his nose on the drivers side airbag and nicked him for being a twat?

if so, yes, it's a repost

if so, yes, it's a repost
The SLR and Enzo were bought in the UK and shipped to CA. And ys, he did run off with rather a lot of money The cars were both owned by UK finance houses. I think the Enzo was/is owned by RBS and the SLR by someone like Clydesdale bank. Under his finance arrangements, he was not allowed to take the cars out of UK/Europe. The cars were technically stolen.

Yep nd the passenger was meant to have videoed it showing 199mph onthe clock before the smash, also apparently there was no SLR, he wasn't racing anyone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Eriksson

This happened about a year ago and the enzo was reported as stolen in the UK and not registered in the US and neither was the SLR that his wife was caught driving at a later date. The story was on wrecked exotics but you can't access it anymore
