    But looking at it I think the Tamiya looks more like a real Lambo...also some details are missing in the MPC kit..no headlights under the US bumper,,,no sidemirrors...no 12-pipe exhaust and it seems like interior is red.

    He kept it @ 10 years and sold it circa early 90s IIRC.

    So a little update of my progress so far. Have created exhaust but only 8 pipes since I used the original from kit and and added more pipes. Still need attachment for it. Also body needs clear coat and need to create the back "spoiler" under exhaust. Phone will maybe be created and added.

    Just read this thread. I can imagine how epic it must be to have the ultimate Countach in your garage. Fantastic!

    A few years ago I caught an episode of MTV Cribs and John Schneider house was one of the featured homes. No exotics that I remember. Mostly American cars.

    Funny you mention it, a few years ago we shared a dinner table with John Schneider up in Ely, NV.
    He's very nice and friendly, and definitely not one of those "movie stars" that have distanced themselves from the rest of us...
    A good "car guy" indeed.

    I kind of knew that. Doesn't appear he has got back into exotics.

    As I recall, he owned a Maserati, Ferrari & Lamborghni @ the same time, and sold them all back then.
