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

    That is the first thing I thought of!



    I sure hope not. :dig





    Cool car, though.

    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

    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.

    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
