    Have you ever had the proper friend conversation with this kid to let him in on 'reality', and that his not wanting to be 'bothered' with paying bills will result in more of a 'bother' and lost time and money having to sort out his stupidity with his trashed credit?

    I've never met him, and am not a personal friend. I'm in a strictly advisory role- others handle some of his funds. I'm trying to get his credit repaired now. I recommended he get a bill-paying service, but.... he can't be bothered. Hopefully he gets some sense before he turns 30.

    I can imagine a dealer buying it and advertising it as "Mint, never seen snow!"

    on the bright side: the car is white already so you wont see the snow on it too much :)
    weird thing is i never ever saw that car driven in the area other than on the lawn.
    I suspect that the car was left not running after the mild fire and was for exposition only

    Don't know .... I just saw it on a popular
    auction web site .... The original posted
    Countach was also a White / Tan Anniversary.

    The VIN number was not listed on the auction ??

    Yes, it was tan but it looked a shade or so lighter.
    Last he told me he wanted to get his car(s) to his garage (another location).
    No way to tell if this is his. He said he's never sell and would be buried in it.....but then again it very ez to "burn" through your money.....

    The only way to find out....someone call Lambo Dallas.

    It's not. the sterring whell on the Dallas car has a Tan cewnter. The other one was all black.

    As far as being burried in the car, I suppose the car is already buried. May be the rest will follow

    Reviving an old thread for a moment...

    By coincidence I think I met a friend of the white CT owner. I just sold a car on Ebay to a fellow in Maine, and he happened to call Sunday while I was standing around at the Glenmoor Gathering in Canton.

    When I mentioned I was looking at the Lamborghinis on display, he said, "Oh, yeah? My buddy in Connecticut has a white 25th, he bought it from out west last year...I help him work on it"

    Of course I had to ask for more details, and the story pretty much matches this one. Current owner always wanted a CT...saved up every penny, sold some of his extensive gun collection, etc, and paid cash for the car. But he's not well-off by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone tried to talk him out of it, but he bought it anyway.

    Sounds like it was moved to another location though, but still in a really bad neighborhood in Bridgeport. Guy carries a piece whenever he drives the car :eek:

    If that's the case, kudos to him for achieving a dream, albeit via a circuitous route.

    Anyone seen the car lately?

    The above car that the thread is about is a white 25th. Guy lives in Southington CT.
    He inherited 2 or 3 million.

    Interesting to know...what are the odds of 2 white Anni's so close by each other.

    Has the Southington car reappeared?

    Hey how about a bump!
    Good news on the white Anniv. I was driving by and i see progress!

    1. The car no longer sit on the law but in the driveway. Just like 4 months ago so we can safely say the car is now firmly implented on the driveway.

    2. The tires are pretty much flat. that will prevent any concerns about carjacking or opportunistic theft.

    3. Car is not covered. It was washed with each storms (for free) and soon, will be kept warm under a white blanket.

    but the car still looks good from the road. Too bad that in over 2 years we never saw it driving around
