SupraWoman Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 I saw 3 of these Diablos at Alencon on Thursday night. I was with Angoe and Alex off this board at the time. You had a red Porsche 911 with you at the time. I think you came out of a junction turning right, and must have decided you had gone the wrong way as you all turned around at a roundabout and came howling back down the road past our hotel. The last one in the line (black I think) sounded awesome! Anyway, I'll get some pics sorted out and post them later, but in the meantime, here's a taster or two. yeh, that was us! LOL More pix please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraWoman Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 How did you find the Countach to drive - its supposed to be horrific? what u mean by horrific? Its definetely not an easy thing to drive, you have to be pretty good and confident in driving this thing at high speeds, thats for sure.. Its not a women car - no power steering, clutch is heave, and so the gear box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a women car - no power steering, clutch is heave, and so the gear box They've featured one on Top Gear a few times and said its a gorgeous car but its just awful to drive. Silly heavy steering, pedals, gearbox etc and incredibly uncomfortable for anything more than 5 mins.......... Be nice to hear if thats not the case, Countach was an 80's icon of mine!

Silly heavy steering, pedals, gearbox etc and incredibly uncomfortable for anything more than 5 mins.......... Be nice to hear if thats not the case, Countach was an 80's icon of mine! well - I drove it for more than 5 mins From Abbeville to Calais. Of course it'll not be easy to drive, as I said - everything is mechanical there, no electronic. Heavy steering - yes, as no power steering. Gearbox - yes, very heavy. If I drove it - and I mean, Im a woman, not a guy, plus I drove it with my bare feets and at night. So anyone can do it as well then. But - you'll need probably about a couple of weeks to get accostomised ur self to this machine. That guy owns this car for the last 6 years and loves it, and before he had another Countach for a few years as well. Thats probably says something. To sit in the car - there's plenty of space. I had my legs on dashboard! LOL But windows are just a joke, of course. would prefer any other Lambo - a newer model, but that goes to any car. I had a few years ago old Supra - same pic, no power steering etc. I would prefer my car, a newer one. If u see what I mean. But in the end of the day - if you can drive COuntach, its a great car. I enjoyed it throughout all holiday. The engine noise is amazing, the acceleration - I wish my car could accelerate like that. when we arrived to Calais. There's a yellow Ferrari arrived, a new 360 (or whatever, Im not good at them). The Countach steal all attention. People wanted to have a look inside, sit inside, look at the engine. No one was near Ferrari.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 But in the whole time – I only seen 3 Supras.. Black, Silver and Red – all at different times of the day. The red one was passing through Arnauge while we were sitting inside waiting for a diner. It was so bloody loud that even Chris (Pagani Zonda’s owner) – said, whats was that?? LOL Very impressing Yay That'll be me then! -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex 3" straight through downpipe and centre section, Power & Performance custom 3" cat-back, and a patched-up Apexi Dunk (I think) 'silencer' section. Plus a T67 at the engine end, letting as much noise out as possible -Ian Edit - find attached a wav of the car going through a tunnel, both windows down Apologies for the lousy sound quality as it clipped the mike Also fast forward to about halfway through as I can't cut the wav down at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday you travelled in my car to get the shopping. Monday we went in for Breakfast, but Suprawoman said she went home on Sunday. But I reckon yours must sound better anyway! In the tunnels in Rouen it sounded absolutely awesome! Even a little intimidating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
