You're in the same job! Borrow a Sapphire Cosworth and drive it to Belgium. Come on, surely you could do better than that in a Ford theme. How about borrow a GT40 and drive it to Le Mans or Dearborn or something. That Countach is a thing of great beauty. It fills me with desire just looking at it! I was a Testarossa fan back in the day, but that Lambo might convert me! |

I see he removed the wing then. Wasn't sure when I first read about him doing that but I suppose he was right to do so, does look naughty. Harry's a very nice bloke actually, spent quite a while chatting to him. Annoyingly hard to dislike him no matter how much you try...  Edit: damn you Speedman, beat me to the wing remark! |

I'm normally a proper lairy Lambo fan, but that looks so good now its been de winged ;D I was reading recently that, while there's some hair-splitting controversy over whether or not the wings were officially offered by Lamborghini, the truth is that they were, but not on the assembly line. They'd just drive the Countach in question out to the car park, drill a couple of holes in the rear deck and bolt the thing on. No need for any considerations of accuracy, as it knocked so much off the top speed anyway... |

I saw this and thought.... QV... Yuck.... Being a fan of the earlier LP cars, but those pics are mind blowing!
The car looks so right sans wing!

They did a group test of LP400, LP500S, 5000 QV and Anniversary, and Balboni concluded that the QV was the best driver's car. |

The car looks about a million times better without the wing!

Since I h ave never, and no doubt, will never drive any derivative of the Lamborghini Countach (or any other Lamborghini for that matter), I can only base my opinions on looks alone! (sadly!) |

Ha! Well, that's fair enough. Tell you what, you take the LP400 and I'll have the rest, deal?

This: ...must have sounded immense 3 seconds after that pic was snapped... Probably not as immense as you imagine As by my reckoning the car would have either been stationary or traveling backwards past the photographer when the shutter closed Nice photos. I might read the article later |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

I might read the article later Harry collected the car from Octane in Sant'Agata and drove it home again - covered in Evo. ;D |

I'm sure I could be persuaded to 'like' any of them to be honest, it's just that the LP400/500s are my fav. I like the QV, but the racelifted rear lights on the final generation are all shades of wrong:  This looks much better:  |
