I got to drive the dream. I grew up with posters of this car on my bedroom wall. I was able to sneak out on an extended lunch break and capture some quick shots of the beast. Unbelievable car, less than 5000 original kms. Interesting to drive.

 

brings back memories of canonball run.love it

 

Classic exotic.

I remember having a poster of a white Countach in my room as a kid. I thought it was the best car ever made.

 

Awesome car. Lovely!

 

Still today that is my favorite. Great photos. I got to sit in a 78 countach years ago, it was awesome. Now I would like a ride in one, actually I would like to drive one. Thanks for sharing

 

What a beautiful car. Is it for sale by any chance?

 

Absolutely stunning car and photography. So, did it live up to the dream?

 

Only Lamborghini could have build this amazing car.

 

X2!!!!!!!

 

Well, sort of.

My first impression was awe. Swing the door up, slide my butt into the seat and swing my feet in.

First problem? I wear a size 12 steel toed boot at work, so shoes came off. No way i could fit my feet across the pedals and drive normally with anything more than a slipper on.

Fire the car up, it idles well even when cold, although slightly high. Let it warm for a few minutes while i accustomize myself with the interior, the controls, and the dash layout.

Release the e-brake, ease the shifter into 1st. hmmm. Try that again. Ease the shifter into 1st. Oh hell, where the F is first gear. AHHH. Ease the shifter to the left and then pull TOWARDS you into first gear. Slowly ease the clutch out and find the engagement point. No problem. I pull out onto the main street.. to the shock of the people around. Make my way down the road.

Now, the 1-2 shift was fun. Up around 3,000 rpm in 1st. Clutch in, shifter up to 2nd position. Nothing. Push a little more... nothing. Give it some gas to match rev a little. NOTHING. Push with a TON of force. VOILA, 2nd gear is found.

After driving for about 15-20 minutes the gearbox warmed up and enabled smooth shifting in all gears. The idle also FINALLY came down.

After taking a bunch of photos i made my way back to the dealership. We have this one really nice long bridge through vancouver that has a big crest in the middle of it. I came over the top of that bridge doing about 50km/h. Took a long look down, ensuring there was a clear road ahead, and no friendly police officers were awaiting me at the bottom. Clutch in, 2nd gear. Clutch out, and roll my right foot to the floor.

I have to say, i must have scared the HELL out of the two people i passed as the car came up around 6500rpm. I didn't take it further than that, this car was a garage queen. It's been driven lately, but i wasn't prepared to break it.

It made all the right sounds. More like the BEST sounds. Not the fastest car i've driven by far, but enjoyable? Oh hell yes.

 

And yes, this car is for sale at the shop. PM me for details. (i'm not here selling cars! I just love em)
