FERRARI ENZO JAY KAY

I have met Jay Kay several times & chatted to him about his supercars. A proper petrolhead, Jay Kay would always make time to talk about his collection. The wide stance of the Ferrari Enzo is stunning from this angle.

One of my favourite photographs capturing a very successful guy & his Ferrari Enzo supercar, with a lucky perfect look to camera. Not many stars would physically park their supercar in the paddock, for Jay Kay this was not a problem.

Jay Kay about to set off for a run up the Goodwood Hillclimb.

I caught up with Jay Kay warming up his V12 engine, which does sound rather special & is one of the best sounding engines ever produced. Talking with Jay Kay about the handling of his Ferrari F40 & comparisons to his Black Ferrari Enzo was very interesting, clearly showing great knowledge of the Ferrari Marque, Heritage & breeding.

The rear 3/4 view of the Ferrari Enzo is proper cool & stunning to look at.

Black cars do show the dirt & dust. I remember someone had scrolled, with their finger in the dust on Jay Kay’s car, something about meeting him at the top of the hill to have a smoke with him. A seriously outrageous thing to do & Jay Kay was pretty mad about this in press cuttings at the time. This lack of respect, not withstanding the damage that can be done to such a rare car is well out of order.
