RE: Time For Coffee? Countach!
Wednesday 10th October 2012
Time For Tea?’s occasional morning counterpart, Time For Coffee? returns with a pleasing little eulogy to the Lamborghini Countach, courtesy of Petrolicious.com, a new site involving Depth Of Speed’s Josh Clason. We’ve enjoyed Josh’s work before, Time For Tea? featuring his beautifully shot retro GT-R vid a little while back. Petrolicious would seem to be taking a similar path of thoughtful, indulgent little videos of beautiful cars. Which is something we can probably all get behind – all power to ’em!
Time For Coffee? Countach!
Nice little vid about one man's love for his Countach and why it means no more Big Macs!
This one is a pretty straightforward tale of one man’s love for his Countach. No tyre smoke, no sideways action, no redline-troubling VMAX runs, just someone talking about why he loves his Lambo, despite (perhaps because of) all its practical difficulties. And, in a pattern repeated by all the Lamborghini owners we met on our day in an Aventador, he too started his love affair at a young age with a poster on the wall and seems commendably awestruck that life has afforded him the opportunity to own the real thing a few years down the line. Hope for us all yet, perhaps.
So here you go. And doesn’t a white Lambo look stunning under Californian sun…

Cannonball Run 2 opening sequenceThis four minutes of film was where my whole petrolhead fascination began. A red Countach found a home on my wall.

I had several Countaches/s/'s/i (Plural) and the cheeky tennis girl posters on my bedroom wall as a kid.

I never did but was mildly blown away when they first launched it but my tongue hung out when they added all the scoops and aggression. For me, it was the CAR articles on the Countach which cemented it's invincibility as a desirable icon.I blame the CannonBall Run films

Thanks for the link!
Sadly, I will never own one as I just don't see the point in owning something I can't drive. Being 6' 3" I really don't fit that well!
