    ok. what part of the country does he live in? that might help me narrow down the possibility of him having an Enzo.

    Richard Branson, the guy that made all his money and makes Trump (who lets not forget got most of his money and his company from his dad, also worth more $$$) look like a stuck up prick, had a TV show in the states called Rebel Billionaire, Guy is hero of mine(could you tell?) just puts everything to wind and lives his life to the fullest.

    I think he's more of a limo person, I have never known him to own much of a car collection. When he had his reality show I never saw him driving anything.

    hmm. well im sure a name like this would have popped up on some Enzo somewhere. ive never seen his name having anything to do with cars. it is however very possible that he has an Enzo and just doesnt drive it much or keeps a very low profile about the car. without any sort of information about the car, i wouldnt be of any help as to helping fezza determine whether or not your friend was lying or not. sorry

    On his TV Show, Branson had a fake Donald Trump roll up in a limo. He then pulled up in a London Taxi Cab. He is definately not a Limo guy, at least he didnt come off that way on TV. One other car he drove in the show is that new Amphibious Car which looks somewhat like a Miata. He was driving the streets of London, and then drove right into the water. Scared the kid that was riding with him pretty good.

    Took this from and article written about him, seems he only has one car, but it is not concusive.

    http://www.mutualofamerica.com/articles/Fortune/September03/fortune2.asp

    Branson really doesn't care about putting on airs. Dan Schulman, the head of his U.S. cellular business, has bet him an expensive bottle of wine that he will add more customers than his U.K. counterpart, but Branson has no idea what the wine is. (It is a 1982 Bordeaux, Cos d'Estournel.) He owns one car, a Land Rover, but he prefers to take cabs—it's easier. He wears a Breitling watch (both the car and the watch are gifts from their makers) not to show off but because he's fascinated by a tiny pin in its side, which, if pulled, will send out an emergency radio signal that will then summon a rescue helicopter. (It never tells the right time, because he's not sure which pin will set the time and which will call the copter, but he's constantly glancing at it, as if tempted to just pull one and see.) He never has a penny in his pocket, which Holly finds hysterical. "I'm sure it's because he's never figured out how to use a cash machine," she says. "And even if he could," she laughs, "he'd never be able to remember his PIN."

    i figured ricardo is close enough to richard. heck why not
    many my friend, many. i just know about the 'popular' ones, the ones that have been seen etc. actually the econd one that was at CC that one weekend i saw you up there...the southernmost one, the one not sandwhiched between the CGT and SLR...i had only seen maybe 1 or 2 pictures of it before i think. its 134950. i overheard the owner saying it had 13 miles on it when they left that morning. it had 21 when they got to CC. what an ******. that reminds me Carbon did i ever send you the pictures of the 2 Enzos at CC?
    o thats the guy? i thought the name was vaguely vaguely familiar. i saw that one a while back. pretty pimp indeed

    Branson isn't just a billionaire. He's possibly the most visible billionaire on the planet, always up to some wild and exotic publicity stunt.
    If you haven't heard of him you obviously live on Dorothy's farm in Kansas :)
