    Excellent choice; love the white because it shows off the black corking on the arch extensions and the (painted) black air intakes so well. Congrats for going for carbs, round-belly and not a low-body Countach too, all the correct choices. I bought my QV back in 2010 and even though I'm lucky enough to have driven almost everything, having a Countach stare back at you whenever you open the garage door remains very special.
    My top tip would be to fit a new set of Pirelli P7 tyres, if the previous owner hasn't done so. They make a big difference. Next, check the geometry and the condition of all the rose-joints in the suspension. Once you've done that, simply keep filling it with super-unleaded (never check the mpg) and drive the wheels off it. That's the best way to enjoy the craziness of this legendary supercar, that's always hard work but also so damn rewarding to drive.

      Hoovie is 6 ft 2 and he also bought one. Matt Farrah is not the ideal customer either he also has one along with Harry Metcalf from Harry’s Garage who’s over 6 ft tall. But they look past that and buy one for the overall experience and investment potential. Besides it’s not like it’s going to be the daily in your car collection.

I bought it for $2500 7 years ago, it's now worth close to 10k, the right cars bought at the right time will go up in value, specifically because you cannot buy anything like it today. The current ford ranger is a fat unreliable pig compared to the old rangers, and people know it. The maverick is too small/lacks capability.
      a Countach has always been special, but you can never buy something new like it. It's like your video on the Bugatti where they hid all the screens for the same reason. Because in 10 years all that tech will look stupid and date the car.

    That look on your face says it all. My dad bought an '82 Countach as his midlife crisis car. I'll never forget going into NYC with him to pick it up at the dealership. He was like a kid. On the ride home, my dad -- a very serious guy (albeit brilliantly witty man) -- was grinning from ear to ear with unbridled joy. I was also lucky to have a dad who wanted me to share in that joy, and made the car available to me to drive wherever I wanted. (Picked up my high school prom date with it!)
    It was a challenging car to drive, but worth the effort. The old man kept his for about two and a half years, ultimately trading it in as it was just too unreliable. He was sad the day he traded it. His new car, a BMW 633 csi, was a terrific car though, and in many ways a better performance car than the Lambo. But up until the day he died, if I ever reminisced about the Countach, he would smile and say, "She was a beast, wasn't she?"
    She really was.
    Enjoy your new toy, sir. You've earned it.

    Belated congrats. That gated shifter! As someone who grew up reading Car and Driver in the '80s it was impressed on me that the two manual gearshifts that stood above all others are the Italian supercar gated ones and those in Hondas. I've driven a manual Honda almost every day of my adult life so far, and a chance to drive (much less own) a now-vintage Lambo or Ferrari is a bucket-list thing.

The Countach will always be a childhood romance car, but it doesn't sound good like the Ford GT, and it's not as driveable. Same for the CGT, but another icon. Countach for bucket list cool factor, Ford GT for driveability, CGT for exhaust note and exotic car fix.

    I will never be able to drive a Countach but watching you giggle at the visceral feeling of really feeling the car and the road reminds me of the first time I drove a bone stock early Mazda Miata. I had feelings like that in that Miata. The smell of the car and the way it handled will always stick with me. I imagine your experience is similar, with a lot more power and 500k. I have spent a lot of time in high performance cars but the 1994 Miata will always be the one for me. Your Miata video missed the MY by one year.

      He is so correct. I was driving a C8 Corvette a couple weekends ago on some mountain roads and I came up on a VW Bus going slow. We were on a nice straightway, so I decided to pass this VW. I punch it and the C8 gave me all she got as I'm passing this bus, when I look up in the rearview mirror, and what do I see? A KIA. A KIA EV6 hanging step for step with a Corvette as we are passing this bus. So, yeah, he is 100% spot on. lol

    My favorite Doug review, EVER! Congrats on the Countach! It will remain the poster car dream of millions of car fanatics for many, many years to come! You're right about speed. It's so democratized, now, so easily accessible and relatively safe, too, that it will become secondary to the visual impact and visceral experience. Ferrari, for example, is going the right direction with the 296. Impossibly modern, yes, but what do they keep pushing? That it's fun to drive. That's where the value should lie in all of these toy cars - in the total experience - the smile factor! Congrats, again! Wonderful car!
