    Countach is a cool car:

    But for classic Lambo's I prefer the Diablo:

    Fair enough I can't say I've driven a super, classic or not. I had to reject a few pics of the models with their chebs out unfortunately due to the 'family friendly' nature of the site.

    I like that actually it looks like a big dumb beast of a car. Just looked it up and it's not one for the commute:

    "It’s quite a tank: 290 litres, 64 imperial gallons, a £400 fill. There must be petrol stations with less capacity. And that’ll last you just 500 miles in an LM002"

    My Uncle has an all original 1986 Countach! Hasn't exactly been looked after so my diesel Focus has better BHP - doesn't look as good though!!

    I think it was designed for military use tbh mate, I doubt they care much about the petrol bills.

    Absolute lump of a car, the equivalent footballer is probably Ade Akinfenwa.

    Aye it looks like it's made out of steel plating and lead, I like it.

    On the subject of oddball Lambo's they once made a one off estate car for the Sultan of Brunei. **** knows why he wanted Lamborghini to make him an estate, like paying Megan Fox a million pounds to load your dishwasher, but here it is:

    No modern supercar gets anywhere near the LaFerrari for me, it's absolutely perfect from every angle, the McLarens, Lambs and Porkas in it's division are lovely but I wouldn't think twice about which car I was stepping into if they were all lined up.

    There'd have to be some seriously rare classic in that line up for me to turn my head away from that thing.

    Over a LaFerrari? Jesus no chance, no not for me, they bore me, I've never liked them.

    Something like a DB5 or a 1955 SL300

    Better still, a Group B original S4 or a '67 Shelby GT500

    Now that's a car and although I've never had the pleasure of driving an E Type, they're still gorgeous and if ever the euromillions comes up, i'm having one. If you've ever seen one up close and in concourse condition, I drooled over the pristine engine. I sight to behold.

    That looks nice, but not for me, the shape etc just doesn't excite me. I've seen quite a few.

    I was at a charity event with my bro a couple of years ago and every Aston imaginable turned up, the DB5's were just incredible in every which way.

    Be even shorter if you bought a group B S4.
