Isn't that a picture of the polonium guy? I also remember reading about this crash two or three weeks ago.

Beat me to it. Yes, it is Litvinenko.

A shame that such a work of art had to suffer the stupidity of one with more money than driving talent. Had he put the machine in my hands, he would still be the owner of an Enzo, and not had burns over 70% of his body, but then maybe he was looking for a going out in style/blaze of glory, legacy.

On my second check, it turned out that Kerimov indeed looks different. Here is the real Kerimov:
Thanks for pointing out the error.

Re #5
According to another report, rumors are circulating in Moscos that Kerimov is trying to kiss Kandelaki when he lost control of his car and crashed it.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Uh-oh. That wouldn't be good news for Miss Kandelaki since she is married, and apparently was saying she wasn't in his car, she was at home with her hubby.
Dude recently had Shakira AND Cristina Aguilera perform at his 40th birthday party.

I'll bet that babe Tina burned her buns, Putin should have a contest for the lucky Ruskie to apply salve on it, put out the fire. OUCH.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Married Russian TV star Tina Kandelaki on Tuesday defended her squeaky clean image after French police said she was the mystery woman with a Russian billionaire when he crashed his sports car on the Riviera. A police source in Nice said 31-year-old Kandelaki was treated for minor injuries after businessman Suleiman Kerimov's black Ferrari slammed into a tree. But the presenter said she was at home all the time with her husband and children. As Kerimov fought in a Marseille hospital to recover from terrible burns he suffered in the crash, scandal enveloped Kandelaki, wife of a wealthy entrepreneur and regularly billed as one of Russia's most glamorous but respectable public faces. The racy tale of wealth and possible indiscretion drove Russia's fast-growing tabloid press into a frenzy. "The billionaire burnt, trying to save the presenter Tina Kandelaki," a headline in Your Day newspaper ran. The French police source confirmed Kandelaki was briefly treated at Saint Roch hospital in Nice on Saturday suffering from slight burns to the legs following the accident on the city's Promenade des Anglais. She checked out of the hospital very quickly, the police source said. But Kandelaki, who has an untainted public image as a presenter of children's programmes and host of a popular chat-show "Details", was determined to tough out the scandal. She told Russian journalists she had been with her family at home in Moscow all the time, recovering from mumps which stopped her making any public appearances.

If true, I think that would compound the stupidity.

Re #11
In Russia, a female host of children's program is a cover for knock-out babes wooed by powerful or wealthy man?
I heard a similar rumor about Miss Russia who went on to become first Russian Misss Universe. It said that she is tight with Putin and is also a host of children's program.

Second Enzo that's bit it, in less than 12 months. Only 400 were ever produced, must be something in the Ferrari red paint.

That isn't 'American', that's stupid. Folks like Gates and Buffett give back billions.

I hope they check his brake lines. A loosened or cut brake line is cheaper than polonium.
(I have no idea if this guy was pals with Valdimir, or one of his critics or what. Plus his district borders Chechnya too... So lots of fodder for the conspiracy brigade until proven otherwise. ;-)
To: Issaquahking
It's not the paint. It's the douchebags behind the wheel.
He was zig-zaggin' through traffic in the wet, but has probably never even heard of 'snap oversteer'.
Plus, he wanted to impress his mistress. So there ya' go.
