Countach, the ultimate supercar

...what does the plaque say?!!!? 358km/h!!!!!!

 

What an outrageous photograph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could that woman drive the car with those shoes on?

Makes you wonder what she was thinking of!

 

Great pictures Joe BUT I know one day you are going to surprise me with a photo(s) of my car that were hidden in your vault. I know this because my car spent maybe more than a half dozen years in your backyard, Beverly Hills.

 

Sometimes I take my shoes off when driving...Great feeling... But suit stays on...

 

Wow you guys are hard core. I had some other ideas about that photo that had nothing to do with the Countach!

 

Joe,
I heard that story but I have been in contact with the guy, Majid Panahpour. Unless it was an imposter.
The reason I got a hold of him was because a woman he briefly dated in 79, when the car arrived from Switzerland (where he kept it for the first year). recently, she was searching on him (woman really like searching for ex's!)). She came across the car, recognized it, contacted Wil & Sandy Degroot. They gave me her phone number, North Carolina. That's when she stated he was not dead. With her help I contacted him via email. We exchanged several times. Now, 3 days ago, he sent me a Link-in invite.

 

Perhaps i can explain the photo:

The CT has very poor ventilation and air con. In particular the early model which the young lady was stepping into. The photo then tells us that the young lady has taken this advice, perhaps to extremes. She is carrying a cloth as we all do, to wipe the windows. What was immediately wrong with the photo was she could never drive the car with those shoes on.

When I was younger I found Farah Facett-Majors very attractive. I went to see the Canonball Run with a male friend. He couldn't understand why I was making strange noises every time I saw and heard the CT and not FF-M! I suppose my fate was sealed at that time!

seeing two guys with helmets in a Countach always leaves me shaking my head.

 

Can't get onto a racing circuit without them! Problem is wearing one and getting comfortable. Was out on Knockhill Circuit in Scotland today as part of Scottish Motor Show supercar display. Was very wet and they have reversed the direction of the track, so took it easy!
Still fun to extend the car to max revs in lower gears and drive it in a way you would go to prison for if you did it on a public road!

 

How about that right-rear wheel? That baby has to be scrapping inside the wheel arch for sure! That is pretty compressed back there!

 

Had mine hit the bump stops but only after having been airborn over small bridges!
With double damper/springs at the back they are pretty tough

 

These is one of the nicest colors on a Countach. The color is in my top 3 and I usually am not crazy about that color on other cars. Too bad non factory though.
