I had the dis(pleasure) of getting to drive a Countach around for a few days back in the late 80's. While this example is pristine and amazing looking considering its age, to me they were a real piece of crap to drive.... The smallest bump would result in a feeling I can only say is like having a jackhammer up your a$$. Creaks and groans, rattles and shakes mixed in with the occasional sputter. Classic car for sure but akin to own a very expensive Harley and being forced to carry around a toolbox just to be sure :)

Not to knock on you, but did you take a customer's car to 140mph?

From a comment made in another thread, I think the customer was driving.





What does the "1 of 3" mean? Is that a special edition? Only made 3 white ones that year? What?
 
The client was driving. The "1 of 3" means that are only 3 in the world just like it with the white on white scheme. There were 7 originally.
 
awesome ride! Those things got very popular for their outrageous looks, high performance, horrible gas milage (7 combined according to MotorTend's reporting if they were held to the same standard today), and of course - infamously horrible ride and reliability.



Collector's dream, and I still have a poster of one of these (white and all) from when I was a kid!
 
Thats a great car and From the video it looks nice and clean! I'm curious how old you guys are? I'm surprised someone has trusted you with that car. Please don't take that the wrong way, but you guys look a little young. Not that age means anything. Anyway gret work!
 
Awesome choice of road to get it up to speed. Whoever was driving was a *******. Iconic car for sure, love how it looks.

I got a customer (the one with the Skyline I just posted) who bought a white Countach, not sure what the interior color is. Hopefully I get a ride in it like you did. He already promised me a Godzilla (GT-R) ride as it is.



We get some pretty cool perks, eh? :)

Indeed. I've had the pleasure of driving my clients MB CL550 AMG around town a bit. Also, I've ridden in a few Corvettes, 911's, and other random cool rides. :woohoo:
 
My employees and myself range from 17-18.



Taking rides in the cars we do is a perk of the job. My goal is to take a ride in my client's Ferrari Enzo. It's in Las Vegas and I haven't even seen it yet but still..a boy can dream. ;)

I got to drive a customer's Bentley Continental GT Speed, amazing car, 600 hp and AWD. Never even got close to romping on it but at 1/3rd to 1/2 throttle it had enough pull for me to believe the 0-60 claim of 4 seconds and 0-100 in a tick under 10 seconds. Also got a ride in a twin turbo C5 Z06 that was putting 602 hp on the rollers in street trim. We did a 15-105 roll in about 6 seconds. :bolt

Nice Scott, by next semester, I'll be maintaining a group of exotic cars. You name them, I'll probably have had my hand on them. I can't wait, but yeah, that Bentley has a mean growl to it huh?



Great job on the car, I thought I might've seen one here in Berkeley, but it might've just been an old lotus.
