maybe here for the GP?

maybe Duttons were the only one to let him use an Enzo?

He’s in New Zealand now. For his honeymoon apparently.

This was a weird one though. Via Reddit:

Although everyone I met at Dutton was very nice and they had very impressive cars, they did confirm via e-mail before I arrived that I’d drive the Enzo, but that turned into “the general manager says maybe tomorrow,” which turned into “the general manager says he doesn’t want it on the street.” I was supposed to film four cars there, but I cut short my trip after that, switched my flight, and left after two. This has never happened before in hundreds of videos and dozens of dealerships and private owners.

I think Dutton fucked him over.

Australians would be able to tell him that there’s absolutely no chance in hell he could ever get that thing out on the road here. Mainly because it’s illegal being LHD; BUT even if some exemption for dealer street testing exists (I don’t know of one personally), it would never cover a tourist on a US license with foreign insurance.

I really feel bad for him. Going out to defame Dutton on the internet would only have ended badly so he probably chose to let it slide quietly. In any case, I don’t think he would have cancelled two videos (a significant slice of income) had something not gone seriously sour.

interesting.

could easily put a trade plate on, BUT there’s no roads close by to do any decent drive impressions.

Ooooh that is dark. Thanks for posting the story, I’d never have found that post otherwise!

Australians are supposed to be chill as :(

Actually it seems like that’s not true, based on all the Roadkill/MCM stuff that’s come out recently. Or rather, Youtube can pay well when you’re just 1 guy and part of your charm is low production values.
