when you see an Enzo at some kind of event (GFOS etc) it looks cool, but not entirely out of place amongst the racing cars etc. When you see one on the street it looks completely outlandish, possibly the most dramatic looking car I've ever seen on a public road - including the Mac F1.

It's not beautiful but it certainly means business ....

I dont think thr F1 is all that dramatic compared to a lot of other supercars. If anything its very understated for a 240 mph car. Look at one next to a Countach, Diablo F40 Zonda etc and it fades into the background.

Still the daddy though

agreed - but because it is so special it tends to get a certain reaction ......

I still say that the Countach is the most startling car ever, the definitve supercar - definately my next purchase !

Alan?? - Unlikely!

Mr Tate or Mr Lyle - IIRC one of them is a complete Petrolhead!

Googled this "In the retail sector, the company markets sugar products under ... Find Mr Lyle at
www.cookwithlyle.co.uk. ... of purposes, such as swimwear, clothing, car seating and ..." so this is a possibility, could be completely irrelevant but no time to dig further though.

well obviously the Diablo is a much better car than the Countach (Anjums Orange SV was the most exciting car I've ever been in - I'm sure it would have been awesome if he'd ever taken it over 70 ... )

But I like the Countach because it was the first car that was just about being a supercar, for its own sake without being race bred or whatever... it was just a fabulous piece of design and engineering, and EVERY supercar since has paid homage to the Countach in some way ....... imho it is impossible to see a Countach without getting excited !

absolutely right, and the reason why it'll be my next major purchase...although that might have to be a year or so

I saw this car as well up near Oxford Street - he pulled up and had a look at my 340r and I followed him for a couple of miles. Looked like a young bloke in the drivers / passenger seat - lovely car though.

The owner of this car is nothing to do with sugar, nor is he called sugar! Fraid that's all I can give you.

Off topic but how do you get on with your 340 in London? I've just moved to London but have left my 340 in t'countryside - I was thinking of bringing it up for some late night hooning.

So you're back then!

Orange SV? What about the black 6.0 litre 2WD - that was more fun - surely?

And - as you know - I've never go above 70....

Countach's are awesome (88.5, please!).

Now - shut up - and just buy one......
