Detailed Web Site on 1979 LP400S Countach

Dave,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, perspective and experiences. Your car is stunning. The early Countach is one of the true automotive icons and it's great to see someone actually enjoying their artwork.

Would love to have one someday!

Congrats!!

 

Great site! Please keep posting your thoughts and experiences with the car.

 

David - wonderful site with neat info. I learned a lot about Countaches. One suggestion, though, would be to reduce the .jpeg quality of those pictures - it still took several minutes to load on a high speed connection.

 

Awesome car!
Rare S1.

 

What a wonderful overview of an amazing car. I am stunned by your knowledge of the Countach David.

You have a beautiful car and it is good to see you are driving it and enjoying it!

Billy

 

Thanks David

 

David,

Just phenomenal!

What an absolutely stunning car and the review was a pleasure to read.

Thank You.

 

What an awesome sight and absolutely breathtaking car. I must say, you've done a great service to Lamborghini and the Countach specifically. Many happy and healthy miles to you sir!

 

thank you, david.

 

Great site and enthusiasm.
I think all Countaches were automotive Icons including the Anniversary.

 

Excellent work David, I really like those factory photos posted on your website. Such amazing history.

 

Excellent website! You also deserve high praise for not slapping a wing on that beautiful machine!

 

Great site! Beautiful car David!

 

No wing, good!

I see that you are using full-sized images and shrinking them down in the code. If that's the size you want them then shrink them to that size so you don't have to do it programatically. Anyone with less than a good high-speed connection and LOTS of memory is going to have a difficult time downloading your site. You can play with the save settings to adjust the file size vs image quality. That can make a great difference by keeping a large image but without sacrificing visual quality.

If you want to keep the images that size -- maybe so people can click on them and get a better view -- then you should seriously consider breaking the web page in to sections.

Great effort, though. Yummy car! Good job!

 

i posted a reply on the "other " site as well, welcome to fchat, and thank for documetning your time with such a wonderful car.

i have to ask : do you know if the car was used in a calander in the late 80's early 90's ?? i used to have this calander that had all these c/t's on it, and there were 2 shots of a car in there that looked identical to yours. the pics were posed with various landscapes in the back. i thought i had saved a few of the pages for the pics, but i have moved several times and cant find them.

regardless, what a great site, a black carb countach with the gold wheels is "the" car that i am working towrds. thank you so much to you and your wife for sharing with all of us .

Was this the same car that was featured in the UK mag Classic and Sportscar as I read about in when I was visiting the UK earlier this year!
