Countach, the ultimate supercar

We have passed the two year mark...but the end is in sight. Told it should be up and running in the next few weeks...we will see. Evans did the engine which looks and should run amazing. He also supplied all the replacement parts. Interior is all done, body done...just going back together now.

Sorry to hear the wheels have turned so slowly. I hope it's worth the wait.

 

I hope so as well. I have been keeping great notes and will certainly be sharing the entire experience once complete. Had a chance to pull the others out yesterday and do a lot of driving....the S2 is still my favorite. Tim...you did a great job on the engine!

Thanks Mike, Ok maybe at our age looking cool ain"t happening, but we shouldn't look like we're falling out of the car. LOL

 

Can't wait for the pictures!
Good things are worth waiting for. Best of lick!

 

Could someone give me fact, what are the exact models, it's a bit difficult to see, even the difference is clear when see it live own eyes.

LP400S or LP5000S?

Thank you for correct information!

Hi Sami,
i´m not 100% sure but i think this here:

1. link: 5000QV You can also see the german licence plate with QV it´s an evidence for it
2. link: 5000S I think it´s a friend of Raymond
3. link: LP400 S2 lowbody
4. link: 5000QV I think you can see the QV engine bonnet
5. link: 5000S same car from 2.link

I hope this helps.

Regards

 

OK, Thank you very much!!!!
It would be easier to see these behind, that case no problem, but the front view is a bit difficult.
Thanks! Helped a lot!

 

.... but the front view is a bit difficult.
Thanks! Helped a lot![/QUOTE]


I think it is impossible! With only the front view and not knowing anything else about a particular car, I think it is not possible to differentiate a LP400S S3, LP500S, or a QV. I believe the front fenders, spoiler, hood, windscreen, etc. are all interchangeable across those cars, so one would need a rear or side or interior view of a car to help figure it out.

 

Proving my point once again genius. So post count equals what, you're a better person, you know more about something? I'll admit my knowledge of Ferraris and Lamborghinis is less than most people posting here but but not of cars and I bet I could wrench circles on them around most of the less pleasant posters here never having touched one except for a ride which was pretty damn awesome. I say less pleasant because there are a couple of folks documenting their restores that are awesome, they know their cars.

And again with the tough talk, I saw your picture, you have kids, is this how you want them to act or do you look down at the 'little' people.

So, you didn't have time to get into a pissing match but you responded to my post, look up cognitive dissonance not to mention a pathetic insult on the first line. Ever hear of karma? Keep it up Mrs Antoinette and it will catch you.

 

I forgot, your mentioning how you can hold in one hand enough coins to buy someone's house. Do you mention this because you have something you can hold with two fingers? Man you got issues. I'm surprised you didn't mention the women you had with you on this fishing trip that is not your wife. You're slipping, you could have insinuated how rich you are without saying it which is so gauche, but then again, you probably don't know the difference and you went a post without attacking Roy Cats.

Oh, and you called me a girl, whatta burn, in Jr. High maybe.

I'm not a Doctor but I do have a PDR and I would recommend meds that help bi polar II like Seroquel since you go from normal to mania in one sentence; actually,since you have the manic episodes, it's probably BP type I but the treatment is still the same.

 

I was reading the thread from scratch and as you know, that's a lot of pages and if you read it serially, these kinds of things stand out and they aren't going away and they're certainly not pretty.
Today is June 19, 2013, I'l bet that within one week, we'll get the same type of posts from the same type of people. People don't generally change, once their adult persona has set in, unless they make an effort, it'll stay the same.

I was amazed that at least two posters ganged up on another and then personal stuff was mentioned, that is not low class, that is no class.

 

Was xxx's post pulled? I don't see the one you (EarlyCat) replied to.

 

Let it go. Not worth the aggravation. The majority here know that ulterior motives abound. We all chuckled to ourselves when Joe Sackey started his under appreciated 25th Anniversario thread, betting between us that he would have an Anniversary for sale. And guess what, it is a rather fine example.

As for TripleX, all you have to do is see his car that can hardly run under its own power, his attitude in person not to mention his online persona to know he is in no position to offer any advice or criticism on anything but Hawaiian shirts.

Enjoy the pretty pictures and take everything else with a grain of salt.

 

Did you just kind of lay on the ground and roll out? LOL

 

No, but I may try that next time! I'm just glad no one was around to see what it did look like!

 

Call out to anyone to set up a spy camera around 2after's house!

I mean, wait, no spy cameras here....yes, I'll mow your lawn. LOL

 

Greg Awesome pictures. Who cares about getting out of the car....the alternative is even better....stay in the car!

Brian hopefully is writing a book about restoring that silver car
Also....he's got way too many car!!!! lololololo coolest when they are lined up.
Is that white Espada still with you?

I hope our moderator is keeping an eye out....it's been nice here for the last couple of months.

 

I think maybe it should be pointed out that some of the things brought up from previous posts were before/and the reson for adding a moderator to this forum. And Peter is right, it has very nice since, much more enjoyable, many thanks.


Love all the CT's lined up will be too cool to add the 4th, he might have to start sharing at that point.

2nd's silver CT is spectacular, love it. You will have to get some more pictures once your back to 100%

OK, I have tried to look those details, but it's allmoust impossible. If seen LP400S and LP5000S side by side, then it's clear, LP400S is much lower.

 

Glad you're on the mend. My room mate has had two shoulder surgeries recently and the rehab is intense!

Thanks for posting the new pics! Still the most beautiful Countach out there.

 

I'll admit it, every time I think I've nailed down the best looking one, someone posts pics of one of the other contenders and it starts all over again.

You can't deny that 2after's car is the right color, with the right wing and the perfect stance.

Just like 1038....

... and 1036...

...1006...
