    If I owned a vehicle that expensive I don't think I'd take it out of the garage. I can imagine the slightest scrape (of which there are some on my Fiat Punto) would cost thousands to repair.

    It was on its way to the Top Gear test track. I remember reading about it in Top Gear magazine.

    You're quite correct. It even mentions Dec 2004 in that article I quoted.
    Don't know why it was in Friday's paper unless the law suit is a new development on a very old story.:confused:

    have you tried getting an enzo full comprehensive its near impossible , remember that phantom in the gumball last year that got messed up that was only third party. Its very hard to get fully comprehensive on a supercar with the insurance bill being just silly.
