Icons: Lamborghini Countach
It feels like I just bought a date with a Hollywood superstar. It’s cold, he’s old and she really doesn’t want to be there. But through clenched teeth she smiles as I approach. It’s one of those things she just has to do. Part of the process. A contractual obligation.

Honestly, that’s how approaching a Lamborghini Countach makes me feel. And in that regard, it might be unique. It didn’t happen when I first drove a Ferrari F40 or a McLaren F1. But then I didn’t have their pictures plastered all over my bedroom walls when I was 10 years old. The first and last thing I saw when I woke up in the morning was a Lamborghini Countach. Actually Countachs. There were dozens of them up there. While my chums had posters of a tennis player with a pruritic backside, I had Countachs. Sad, but true.
