Default Enzos by S/N...

This is kinda interesting...the Enzos by serial number...I always wondered why Jay Kay's plate on the Enzo was "V17 Jet"...well it seems that "V12 Jet" was already taken by someone else in UK!...check it out...

The serial numbs arent actually sequential. Any ideas on that?

Oh, and there's actually one in Malaysia! Nice. (=

maybe it's just a coincidence that the more logical name "V12 JET" was already taken in the UK?

nice url Chaos!
Yeah it's a nice find...pretty interesting ...I thought ya'll would be interested when I saw it...

I'm beginning to appreciate the Enzo's lines even more now. It's definitely growing on me. And now there's one here, in Malaysia. I bet it belongs to Naza Motors (they're the richest car distribution company here. You want a BMW, Ferrari or Lambo in this country, you go to them. The owner of Naza traded in his Porsche GT2 for a Lambo Murcie with the reason "It got boring").

I don't think some owners like the site though! I think I've read that Jay Kay wanted to pick V12 JET but it was already taken so he choose V17 because the number of cars he has.

honestly i could care less what the reg plate said if i was driving it cause no one would come close to it on the road (with me driving )
