Rookie seeks advice on buying a countach

[Morph]

Well after driving one for 6 months now and having numerous glorious summer outings in the lambo I have to say buy one as soon as you can.

I use another car for weekly use as Lambos are totally impractical as a day to day car, lets face it they are uneconomical, no boot/trunk space, very small inside (although I am 6 ft & 180 pounds and I dont even have the seat fully back, so depends on your build I suppose), heavy steering, noisy inside, a bitch for long journeys, no rear vision and a clutch that most people on first impression is that their foor is on the brake cause its that hard, plus the pedals are over towards the centre of the car and very close together!

All those things I have listed above would be a pain in the ass on another car, but with the lambo its just part of the experience, or as I like to call it now "Sex-perience", its basically a road legal rockit on wheels, it has the history/nostaligia of being the most longest running top supercare ever (to date!), the looks, the sound and the speed/performance and it does it all so beautifully. What else could you ask for in a car?? Nothing

OK, someone help me out here. What do you mean by the "O.G." of supercars? The only O.G. I know of is the Olympic Garden strip club in Vegas. Is that what you mean by O.G.? If so yeah, I was there last year. Lots of hot chicks. :smoka:

O.G..... Origional Gangsta - rap terminology :smoka:
O.G..... Origional Guy - white surburbia terminology

Hi,

haven`t been around for some time, sorry!

The term "O.G." of course means "Original Gangster". It is indeed a term which is borrowed from hip-hop slang. It means basically "the real thing".

All the best,

Tobias

how is the car?

Well I too have been an enthusiast and dreamer of a Countach
after searching 5 years for the right one
I settled on a 25th with 35K KMS. It needed a tuneup ($3100.00)
I love the car
drives great and handles perfectly

I have put a lot of special touches in the car (New stereo, new carpet, etc.) I have white/white and love it.
If you take care of the car
use it regularly, It should be fine

I recommend the 25th for you to buy

to anyone wants to become an owner of countach .....
After you pay up the bil , you better encounter any unusual handling problem of the car
example You need to open the door to get yours parking /high way pass etc + You 'll need to sit on the side when reverse yours countech ...

And the clutch & breaking pader ...damm heavy ...and closer to each other plus it place more to the center ...imagine that

Good luck

good luck..don't forget to post pic for the fans

At 6' 6" you'll be too tall to get into a Countach and find a position that is anything like comfortable. I'm 6'1" and have about 1/2" spare headroom. My brother is 6'5" and whilst he could get behind the steering wheel, his head was bent to one side, and his knees were around his ears!

As for those who say driving the Countach over long distances is a pain, I did 1100 miles two weekends ago, and loved every minute of it. The only pain I felt was in the wallet department with 10mpg and fuel priced at nearly £4 a gallon!
