    I wonder if the red Countach was John H's?

    If it's the one I think you're talking about, it's no longer here. Been gone for a few months.

    AFIK, there are only 2. J's and that white turd off the I10 service road.

    I don't believe the one I saw was a 25th anniv model; the vents above the rear wheels looked like the earlier models. However, it was dark and I was a few hundred feet away so I could be wrong.

    As for it being John H's that was my first thought. It was headed down Poydras towards the river and I've heard/seen John's 430 several times after 5 PM. I work on the 31st Floor of a bldg on Poydras and now and then I'll hear him pass below!

    Yeah, he was sad to get rid of it, but a huge opportunity presented itself and the rest is history.
    Besides, that thing is anything but confortable to drive unless you are 5'5" 150 and wear a size 8 shoe. My big a$$ was a tight fit while driving. Still an incredible car!!!!!!!!!

    I just got a new neighbor-a red Lamborghini 25th Anniversary Countach. Too bad it's actually a fiero. But I must say, the car looks very original-not some hack job.

    Are you sure it isn't real? I have heard 80's Lambo build quality described as on par with a kit car before. :)

    Saw the same one parked on Felicity, right off of St. Charles at about noon. He was parked there for about an hour or so. There was also a black DB9 on General Degaulle @ Holiday, headed toward English Turn on Friday, around 5pm.
