Passenger in these yesterday...

[Rob]

Long story short, had to interview someone about supercars for an essay i'm writing and it turns out someone from my uni's old man happens to have a bit of a thing for them....

Sorry for poor pics but was more concerned with going in them than taking pictures so only got garaged pics....

Quick just doesnt cut it, especially the murcielago, certainly hit some interesting speeds, all on his private runway of course...

nice fella

they all look like they need a good clean though

 

[Chili Red]

oooooooo gorgeous Lambos!! That must be one rich bloke.

Have to say I prefer the Diablo to the Countach though.

 

[nozza89]

what coarse do you do!!!???

 

[Rob]

Must admit, i took all the pictures "post run" The countach is half way through a restore, exterior is beautiful, interior seats need doing, dash is done. Brilliant condition other than carpets and seats for the age!

Not seriously minted actually... certainly above average i'll admit but as he explained to me he's just a total enthusiast, remortgaged his house 15 years ago to buy the countach and has spent a long time saving for the murcielago, not cars brought on a wim. Amazing fun though!

 

[FeelX]

Nice...very nice cars!! Must have been a good interview

Enjoy seeing these cars as use-objects (not clean). that's what they are made for anyway.

 

[Rob]

what coarse do you do!!!???

I do design for interaction, and am currently looking at the way user centered design has changed cars over the last 20 years, and i wanted to compare this in supercars and normal road cars, the passenger rides was just a treat from one car lover to another!

But for the record, if you hate your neighbours, buy a countach, the thing sounded like thunder!

Trev looks rather pony in comparison..

I'm pretty sure the bloke he bought it off does, had it on the plates and tax disc holder too. Apparently he had like 20 Supercars there when he went to get it!

^ my dream job, selling super cars

That Countach is fantastic! Totally OTT - proper 80's tack of all angular lines, intakes and vents.

Gorgeous. :approve:

[Rob]

^ Couldn't agree more, and in my opinion, had by far the superior sound! The paint work is fresh this year, its totally immaculate!

And yes, in this case, truly owned...

 

[Fletcher]

Nice lambo's

 

[Darren S]

Just noticed. Is that Countach a 5000QV? It has the extra bulge on the engine cover. Four valves per cylinder tech!

Indeed it is, apologies for not getting an engine shot. The amount of attention we got in it was unreal! Next time i go to my mates i'll take some proper photos, should be there early in the new year or maybe before...
