    If anybody is interested there is a small article in Automobile magazine , this months , features a white on white Countach test drive, very small write up but 3 pages of photos, They do list the car as a 6 speed which we know is wrong , but it was cool to read while passing some time in CVS while waiting for my granddaughters prescriptions to be filled .

    That's a very nice Countach LP400S that I supplied to Tony. I'm sure he will come on and comment.

    Tony has some nice photos of the S2 being shot for the magazine.

    My scanner is on the blink or I would post the article.

    They came to my shop to do a story on a Countach I bought through Joe.

    After interviewing me and my history with the cars they were very complimentary.

    I'm glad the 6 speed is all they got wrong.

    Was it your personal Lambo or did you have to search much for it?
    Any nice stories on acquisition?

    No. He simply picked up the phone, dialed my number and said: "Joe, I'm looking for a nice Countach LP400S!"

    Seriously.

    This is Great!!! I can't wait to read it. A great car and hopefully some words about a great shop. Octane, and then Classic & Sports car and now this..... Lots of coverage lately. I really like the road trip write up in the Octane issue. Not as much the Classic one.

    To be clear here, Tony bought the car, not me. Hopefully I'll get to make that phone call someday.
