 Build a Lamborghini Countach in your basement
I am not sure if anybody caught this original story or not. It was bouncing around Digg and a few other sites. Basically a guy hand built a Lamborghini Countach in his basement in Wisconson. It took him 10 years, and he recently finished it and had it removed from the basement. http://www.geekologie.com/2008/10/man_b ... ountac.phpHere is a follow up on the story, with more photos and details. http://jalopnik.com/5069251/exclusive-i ... e-basementI used to love that car, mostly because of the movie as well. I had the 6 foot long poster above the bed when I was growing up. For somebody to put that much attention and passion into the car is amazing. Stephen
