Ferrari F50 Latest Victim Of Poor Swedish Driving

Who knew that sleazy Swede Stefan Eriksson was starting such a popular trend when he destroyed his Ferrari Enzo? Our main man from the north lands, JanTheMan, sent us this video of one Swedish gentleman putting his Ferrari F50 in the ditch. How did this happen? According to JanTheMan:
This weekend it has been a major sport car show in Malmö in south of Sweden. Anyway. This tape was recorded after closing time when a Ferrari F50 was followed by some young twats in Beemers, Ricers and Porsches. SWEDES ARE HEARBY BANNED TO DRIVE ONE OF A KIND FERRARIS."
We'd also point out that Eddie Griffith is really Swedish. For those about to smash, we salute you. (accident about four minutes into "twat driving") [Bilsport.se]

Hide the Enzos? Stefan Eriksson Goes Free

The man who launched a thousand memes after crashing a Ferrari Enzo on the PCH that wasn't technically his — was just released from a California jail where he's spent the past two years on charges of embezzlement in November 2006, days after a jury had failed to agree a verdict on charges he had stolen two Ferrari Enzos and a top-end Mercedes-Benz. Stefan Eriksson, the former Gizmondo executive, who goes by other names including "Fat Steffe" (in Sweden), "Ferrari Steffen" (in the US) and "The Evil One Who Destroys Beautiful Things" (in Maranello, Modena Italy), was transferred to a detention facility outside of LA on December 13th as he awaits transport...

We Are Everywhere!

Wandering around the sea of crazy old race cars here at Laguna Seca, Mr. Johnson and I encountered loyal Jalopnik reader Chris, fully decked out in his Save The Enzos shirt and standing next to a Bugatti after a red-eye motorcycle ride up from SoCal. Good work, Chris! We thought about having him pose with his head wedged against the front wheel of the Enzo we saw a bit later, but such a move seemed unwise.

Stefan Eriksson's Passenger Arrested

In the case of the car crash that won't die, Trevor Michael Karney was arrested by sheriffs around 9:00 am Wednesday in Marina del Ray, near Venice Beach in California. Mr Karney, as some of you surely recall, was present at the scene of the infamous Ferrari Enzo crash in Malibu, but reported to police that he was in fact a passenger in a Mercedes McLaren SLR. Not only that, but he too saw the totally fictional Dietrich flee up into the hills. Turns out that Karney IS Dietrich. Well, not exactly, as Eriksson admitted in court that he was in fact driving the Enzo drunk at 160 mph when he then cleaved the the Italian exotic in half with a telephone pole. And Karney was arrested for being the passenger. So that makes Fat Stefan Dietrich and Karney Eriksson. Whew, glad that's sorted out. More hot facts after you leap. More »

British Enzo Bent...By A Bus?!?

We're stunned to have just heard the Daily Mail's reporting that we lost another Ferrari Enzo...nine months ago. Where the hell were we? How did we not know about this? The outrage...no, the humanity! Apparently a Brit businessman and property tycoon named Frank Mountain alleged a single-decker bus was being
"driven too fast when it rounded a bend on the wrong side of the road and smashed into the £600,000 supercar."
But wait, that's not all...as is want to happen in cases of supercars on rough roads, being driven like an arse and road rallyes, the
"hand-built Ferrari, only 399 of which have been built, then careered into a Volkswagen Golf."
Yet again, these Golf's need to stop getting in the way of out-of-control supercars, whether piloted or not. Whether in Macedonia or the Queen's realm — can't they see the problems they're causing? Luckily... More »

You've Done it Now: Save the Enzos!

You picked it, and now it's here, the shirt we all hope will ease the world's Enzo crisis. Right now, somewhere on planet earth, there's an Enzo in trouble. Its owner is an overzealous nitwit, whose skills behind the wheel can't possibly match the capabilities of this late-model supercar, and yet he insists on going to the limit. But it only takes a second, 150 mph and an errant burro to cause an irreversible drop in the Enzo population. With your help, we can prevent the ruthless Dietriching of the world's Enzos. Won't you please do your part to save these troubled cars from extinction? Thank you. More »
