Cool video! He does go on about impracticality though, i suppose emphasising how times have changed.

Paul, I know you mentioned it in the past but have you ever taken the spoiler off for a week or two, just to see what its like. I prefered the Diablo without but alot liked it with. Anyway, it was so easy to do, it literally took 5 minutes. DO IT!! smile

To take the aero off would break Paul's family motto:

Sempre giudicare un uomo dalla sua spoiler *

The Don would lose face and that is a no-no!









  • Always judge a man by his spoilerlaugh

Hi

thanks for the video link. Great video and is tempting me to make an HD one.

I have not taken the spoiler off yet. You need to to max speed it as it looses about 10-15mph of the top speed apparently! I have been invited to a few of these max speed events at the aerodrome down south but never managed one yet. Like Mathew I like the car with and without it but possibly prefer it with hence kept it on. It is an outrageous car, so the more it is.......

Had the car out the past few days and as usual it attracts so much attention. A guy yesterday at the lights at Strathclyde park was literally hanging out of his window staring at the car!

It is still great to drive and simple to do so as long as you remember how much power there is and to use it sensibly!

Good to hear the Countach has been out to play.

I'm gutted that I've been stuck in work for the last 3 days and not out driving the new in the sun frown
