Default Any Lamborghini fans?

I'm working on a Lamborghini Countach right now, all new fluids, spark plugs, hoses, etc.... Thought I'd share some pictures. Definitely not something you get to see everyday. Never thought I'd be working on one. This was one of my favorite cars as a kid but it's a total dog to drive, was kinda disappointing.

Yeah, countach's are disappointing to drive. A friend of the family had a red one that he was selling, and he let me take it down the road and back, it's definitely an 80's car, that's for sure.

I had to take my shoes off just to fit my feet in the footwell. It felt like I was driving a dump truck. And there's absolutely no headroom. Cool car though.

Since it's eye-talian I imagine you would need the hands of a small japanese girl to be able to work on it.

thats kinda disapointing for sure... Always figured they would be atleast "quick"... I meen those high end cars are all top end... For the longest time all the Porsche, Lambo, and Ferrari's ran in the 12's 1/4 mile... I dont know about now but it probally tops out at 170+...
