    Congratulations. It will be in good company there :)

    That is such a cool laid-back event and Margaret & I enjoyed showing 1121038 & the Last USA F40 built there last year.

    Kenqv already asked the obvious question about that rear bumper.

    I'd actually gone off to get lunch for everyone on the shoot when Chris was doing this, so I didn't know he's nicked my car until I saw the designer laying out the pages in the office the following week .

    As you say Joe, I should have known better..

    455 HP vs 478 HP. On paper it looks like a battle. We all know the outcome.

    You seem less than thrilled about how he drove your car. I know I would not find humor in it.

    Its nice to see you remain unfazed, and also nice to see a Countach actually being pushed!

    Alberto, Harry has a dry English sense of humor. Hard to tell sometimes :)

    Just for fun....Counterpoint: He sure was being hard on the clutch as you can hear him slipping it, and I'd like to see him do all that on a dry road... then I'd be more impressed!

    It's is a good time with a very wide range of automobile art on display. It was nice to see you and your family there...

    Roy I know what you mean. You are a "driver" at heart so coming from you after the array of fine cars you've driven over the years really means a lot. It's defiantly NOT like driving any thing else out there...

    I know...have not got around adjusting them. Just found out from a Countach guru the easy way to get the mirros adjusted...

    Actually, I'm quite impressed he did that in a Countach in the wet!

    Alberto, Joe is correct! Sorry it didn't come across in my original post.

    I should say the location of this photo shoot is regularly visited by all UK motoring magazines because of this up-hill, nicely cambered corner.

    I'd be much more impressed once we can get a shot of a properly loaded up, drifting Countach but I suspect that will take a circuit and a bag of brave pills to nail properly..
