Malibu Mystery Races Away With Buzz
Thursday March 02, 2006
It was a rare and exotic animal: a Ferrari Enzo, one of just 400 ever brought forth into this world. When you saw this thing coming, you didn't look away. If you wanted to own it, it cost you a cool $1 mil -- and it could earn you a whole lot of buzz.
Last week, Swedish millionaire Stefan Ericksson slipped behind the wheel of his Enzo with, he says, a German named "Dietrich." They took the vehicle out on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway. And they let that baby run.
The car, that fierce, beautiful creature, hit speeds of 162 mph; it was practically airborne. It crested the hill, neared a power pole, and perhaps then, or perhaps never, did its driver spot the bump in the road.
Now we have one less Ferrari Enzo left idling in existence. "Dietrich," if he exists at all, has run off into the hills. Ericksson, a former Gizmondo exec, is nursing a bruised lip behind the gates of his Bel-Air mansion and claiming that he remembers nothing. And a slew of searches are roaring at unseen speeds up the Buzz.
From "ferrari" to "enzo ferrari" to "enzo crash," from "stefan ericksson" to "gizmondo" to "malibu," the searches just keep rolling in. As police investigate a gun magazine found near the wreck, Scotland Yard gets involved, and reporters mutter "plot thickens," we're watching for more buzz to come down the road.

"As police investigate a gun magazine found near the wreck, Scotland Yard gets involved..."
OK, I'll ask.
Why is Scotland Yard getting involved?
I thought California was being annexed by Mexico, not the UK...
The L.A. Times via Drudge said that two men who identified themselves as from Homeland Security came and took him away. Now the police are trying to figure out who they were. Weird.
It was osamahaulinass ?
Don't know. The guy's Swedish.
Better than being in a cave, I guess.
Overstayed his visa?
Wanted by Scotland Yard?
Ripoff!

"The owner of the car is Stefan Erikssen, a 44 year old former executive of Gizmondo. He left Gizmondo after allegedly being involved in a Swedish Mafia crime ring."
I think his Enzo days may be coming to an end
Damn. Total engine detachment.
Swedish mafia? That's a new one on me.
Lol. That made things even more complicated and confusing.
I was afraid you would say that.
