More Lambo stuff...

Click for full size
The guy who locally sells lambo parts online and has restored 3 has just about finished his more recent lambo - the Countach ('75 if I remember correctly EDIT - It is an '86).

It was black and had been abandoned in Las Vegas if I remember correctly. He restored and updated it (but kept the original parts) and changed it to white. Here is his lineup now...

there's one update that can't be done on the Countach, and that's being able to reverse into a parking spot with the door closed(backup cameras are cheating).

it's one of the cars on my "list", even just being in one would be enough(for about 20 seconds).

I have always thought there was something special about Lambos.

That is one thing he is adding to the Countach - cameras for the back and sides... He would rather not screw up his restoration.

Good idea lots of the classic super cars have shit for backwards visibility. And a classic Lambo you want everything you can to keep it mint after dropping serious dollars to fix it up.

Agree 100% on the Camaro. I hat the fact you can't see the rear. If it had a taller spoiler then it wouldn't be so bad. I am thinking of trading my 2013 Camaro in because of the blind spots and the field of view all around is crap.

You can't park a car just using the mirrors? It's not hard. I parallel park without turning around, no problem.

the words your looking for is "you can't park THAT car just using the mirrors ?", there is literally no rear visibility what so ever, and they are "regulation" mirrors.

Side mirrors alone are not good enough. I always use the rear view mirror even if it is to just start out. You do need to make sure there are no cars behind you. The side mirrors are also not real great...
