Drove a Countach :)

Wow! I drove the ultimate and original SuperCar today!It was a sales promo at work and I got to drive a LP 5000 for 7 miles around Goodwood race circuit. Man the steering is heavy, the clutch is very heavy as is the throttle! You can't nail the throttle but squeeze it like a gun, otherwise it dies a little as the 4 carbs flood the V12 with too much juice. Once down though it is so loud! Almost as quick as the IROC

I know this wil probably get locked but am so excited still as this is a childhood dream!

The countache was always my favorite Supercar of all time, especially the earlier ones. It was so futuristic when it came out. Its a little on the slow side by todays standard, but still an incredible machine.




I wish I could have been in the passenger seat.




I won't be able to afford one so I will just make do with my thirdgen.
