Countach 25th Anniversario

Funny you speak off this story, seems to be their favorite trick, I had the same experience with Valentino in Diablo GT! same S bend, I had again same experience in Merci SV with Cosimo.. Now the road doen there is changing so the S bend will soon be gone! Road works were going on when I was there late September 2012

 

I was chatting with Cosimo when your car was there for the huge service, that time my car had problems with overheating.

 

Cosimo, is a very dear friend for many many years.. He has been there for 30 plus years although he did leave to become test development driver on the 110SS with Loris. Before going back to Lamborghini. Tommassini is another who runs the service assistance department.

 

Wow!, great info.
Luv the pics, vids, and the stories have me grinning ear to ear.

 

Yes, many know him only as Mimmo, Claudio did lots of work on the VT diablo and in fact it was Claudio who at the 30TH drove the SE out of the Cake..

The pictures I believe of Lris from his site, the picture of him with pretty blue LM the person on his right is Mimmo. They are very close friends. Along with all the others and many more its such a small circle.

 

When Loris left for the Veyron project, he was replace with Davide Testi who was schooled at Ferrari. Roberta , Loris's sister has also left Pagani now. he may still have had a little in put as they are also very close friends.

 

Work is still going on today (or not, actually). The S still is there to encounter, for now. They have signs reading '30' (km/h) up there.... Done it a couple of times in my own car, the last days (at 50 km/h)

 

Very nice story, Joe Hope to experience it myself one day must have been scary at the time...

 

I was going through some old photos with the owner of a very well know local carrozzeria that has many years association with lamborghini. with some very interesting photos of the Countach evoluzione parked at he workshop. Now I am not sure it was just test driver out pounding the roads stopping of for a coffee, to see some customer cars or it was there for work. My Italian at that time was not the best and his English was poor.

It would be interesting to find out more of what happened to this car.
Crash tested is first guess.
As many a time I have been down in the underground parking by the fuel refill in the Factory over the years looking at all the unusual odd creations, in various states lurking down there.

 

I understand why owners take off the windshield wipers

 

As this picture shows, someones attempt at keeping the wiper in contact with the screen at high speed.

along with some speakers by the window winder.. Ooo and whats the key pad item near the gear shift I wonder.Looks like a calculator

 

think thats the in car phone keypad. You can just see the dash mounted phone. i could live with the door speakers, but if this was my car, would strip out the phone and keypad and return it to more orig spec.
