I thought so. The 190E 2.5 wasn't really an AMG, right?

Well, when you've seen every version so far and I'm lucky to see a Gallardo Spider.... The Superleggera and LP640 are there in the showrooms, but no one drives them on the road. Any Lamborghini can make me U-turn, though.
Speaking of which:
If I was just focused on getting a parking space before sunset, I never would have seen this on the side street. Made a U-turn up ahead and parked right across from it. Not a single person who walked by didn't stop and look. I didn't get to hear it start up, having more important sunsets to catch, but it was completely mint, inside and out. A total spaceship among horse & buggies, even today. (And "Hi" to ML, who's probably watching me post this.)
I'm so hoping it's not a kit.
No, though I bet AMG had a hand in it. The first US-badged model was the C36.
Are you totally sure that's real? Looks quite a bit shorter than a normal one. That said, my complete experience with on-road Countach sightings comes from one viewing once a year ago next week, and I've never seen a replica Countach in person.

Well "Hello!" back.

<3 It is still an extremely really mega-cool car! (Relax, yours is still mega-cool too, mega-cool #1 in fact.)

The top half is pretty convincing, but the sill extentions scream glassfibre rather than the aluminium that they probably should be. The position of the exhausts is also wrong - yet the style of them is spot on. The panel gap and placement around the doors and engine cover is also pretty appalling. My biggest issue with it is the rear wheels position within the wheel arches - they just don't fill them like they should.
On closer inspection of a genuine Countach...
...it becomes obvious that its a replica. Type 'countach replica' into Google images and you'll find dozens of similar kits.

Nice R34 spot, Doug. That thing's gorgeous. 👍
Spotted this today:
I have a feeling it's really a Mirage in disguise...can anyone tell? Note its RHD-ness. Either way, it was pretty cool seeing it.
It is a pretty good fake if it is. Notice the TME racing seats, brembo brake calipers and it has the correct rims for a Evo 6.5 TME. It is likely to be the RS model which didn't have the extra taillights (by the number plate) of the GSR.

Saw my first Audi R8 today, in black and running a '57' plate, so brand new from the dealer basically.

That settles that, then. It was kind of unexpected in that particular town, too. Looking at the rear arches again, they don't have much of that Gandini kink, either. I was so taken aback by its presence that I didn't even look inside. I'm sure it was a bit more obvious....

It is a shame, you really don't see many Countaches on the road. Apart from the 25th Anniversary model i occasionally see near where i live, the only other one i've ever seen was a white, Swiss reg'd, 5000qv i saw in Porto Banus - and that was a good 20+ years ago. It's amazing how small they are when you see one in the flesh.
Why worst? Don't you like Porsche? I prefer the GT3 (RS).worst till last.......looks awful in red

Are these standard wheels? For some reason this Conti seemed more bad-ass then all the others I've seen.
The Number Plate was 'Subman', 2 shops to the left of the Chicken shop is a subway, so one can only assume he does an awful lot of shifts there....

Sarcasm aside, the guy probably owns a Subway or two.
There's a bloke who owns two of the local Subway's and always has a brand new Jaguar parked on his drive (of his gated street). Mate of mine lives by him, and to this day we haven't found an employee at any of the Subway's that knows the owners name

Can't be, otherwise it would say "My husband spent 75K" and that won't fit onto a numberplate.

Wow, if only you had your camera on you.
