Countach Rally Breaks Monterey Car Week 2021 - Part 2

[@cunniford]

This rally was BY FAR my greatest automotive memory so far. Or ever, I don't see what could top this to be honest. Thank you so much guys for making the LM002 ready for the rally !

[@stanleymasterson1135]

The copper lowbody with Bravo wheels is THE Countach. Only about 50 were made between 1978-79. I should know. I owned one 11 years ago, with the tiny gauges making it one of the first 25 cars

[@tonidmc]

100% agree

[@L8-APEX]

That's my absolute favorite out of them all as well. Something about it just gives the car so much more presence than the others.

[@stanleymasterson1135]

@@L8-APEX Easy to explain. That lowbody model still had the cars original proportions and stance, which could never be improved upon. Add to that the Bravo wheels, which were easily the best looking, and you have the best looking of all Countachs. Only 50 were ever made like that and only the first 25 had the tiny dash gauges. On the other hand, the 25th anniversary model shows exactly why the design should have never been touched. It's HORRIBLE looking... stupid actually, with all of that tacked on bodywork crap. Horacio Pagani should never have been allowed to touch it

[@matthewelliott2213]

That Countach in bronze.... Most flattering color combo imo. Great episode!

[@jenslucking]

Thank you so much, again, for inviting me to the rally, John and Nandina. Had the best time hanging out the roof of John's LM002 EVO with a GoPro strapped to my forehead and then in Stewart's Lowbody LP400S for the second stint to Monterey. Plenty of pictures to come your way!

[@WeAreCurated]

Can't wait to see them!

John, an amazing video, I love your channel, I am 48 years old and I have been a Countach fan since I was 10. My mother always used to say (often in Italian) "if you only knew as much about your school work as you did the Countach, you'd be a straight A student!" The first time I saw photos of the Countach it was a like a revelation. You said the Countach was more than just a car, that is so true. In the late 70's and 1980's being a first generation Australian from Italian parents I copped a lot of teasing for my Italian heritage and I'd often downplay it so I wouldn't get teased..but the Countach changed that. In grade 4, our class did a project on cars and one student brought in photos of a low body red Countach from a magazine, the whole class gasped in awe at this car (for me it was like the second coming!)..I then discovered the the Countach was made by a company called Lamborghini..an Italian company..and then found out Ferrari was the same!..but it was all about the Countach..and from being somewhat ashamed of my Italian heritage, a switch flicked and I became super proud of my heritage! The car had a profound affect on my life that even my parents still don't really understand to this day.

[@WeAreCurated]

Thats a great story. 🤌

[@KnightIndustries572]

This is at another level completely

[@gabrieljohnston1082]

Balboni is living his best life!

[@IMajst3RI]

Seeing him still driving and still being super passionate about cars in his 70's bring a wide smile to my face

[@StrandManna]

John, from half way across the world in Cape Town, South Africa, you got me emotional beyond. I had a Countach poster on my wall as a teenager and seeing your passion and effort in making this event happen brings a solid lump to my throat, John, I SALUTE YOU! Having said all that, you are missing the “Cannonball Run” car with the birds in skin tight jumpsuits… 😉

[@Gozar111]

Hey bro 🇿🇦

[@aomar9449]

Dude you pulled it off!! this is the event of a lifetime, congratulations!

[@VIP3Rx]

excellent production quality, magnificent story telling, incredible footage, what an amazing video

[@harrisonhunter7512]

The Rally looked amazing,the turnout was awesome and cars were epic.bravo man 👏

[@Gozar111]

Here is my Countach story. I’m probably one of the biggest fans ever. So I decided to really work hard and get one. I worked my ass off. And then I still couldn’t buy one. Hey I didn’t say it was an inspirational story.

[@hilanddoug]

Very cool! Looking forward to part three.

[@auralumin]

Thanks for posting. Wish I could have witnessed this event with my own eyes, but these videos managed to bring me there. Thanks again!

[@863rafael]

That copper color looks amazing!

[@markmahoney5255]

I can't imagine the logistics and attention to detail that went into pulling this off. Folks looked like they were having the time if their life! Bravo and well done 👍

[@kenmason356]

So glad you pulled this off. It is awesome!

[@donrossi1603]

Whow Simply an Amazing Event and Experience...Super Job, John..!! Thanks for sharing..!!👍👍👍

[@markpass4215]

Don’t know why but the shots of the Diablo interlopers spoil the perfection….

[@woodyholland9865]

Really enjoying the rally videos. The people are what make any event special and you have some of the best Countach owners there.

[@kevinmellett9185]

Nobody sits tells a story like you, absolutely well done and the content was awesome I still have my poster !

[@buickgnx007]

Congratulations on the success of the rally! Let there be 10 parts, the more footage the better, can't get enough. Will there be a link for merchandise somewhere?

[@rankzwazhere]

Absolutely love the content John.

[@blaircastelino4390]

Looked like an absolutely amazing time. Amazing event!!!

[@windronner1]

Always a class act w extraordinary enthusiasm. Great work John. You’re the standard bearer of incredible cars

[@im28702]

Fantastic video as always. Love your content, good job! The really looked like the time of a lifetime, I'm all the way jealous of everyone who got to take part. Blows me away though that Matt Farah wasn't there. Especially given his relationship with Vinnie. No matter, doesn't change at all the awesome job you do. His loss. Thank you! Thank you for allowing the rest of the world to share in your adventure.

[@larrychamel]

Another Incredible Video and the completion of The Countach Rally. Most definitely the Highlight of Monterey Car Week 2021! Fabulous job by John and @wearecurated. Memories to last a lifetime!!

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

I honestly believe I would have shed a tear seeing all those Countach in one place.

[@idesignyou...9257]

Incredible seeing that many Countachs together!

[@dirkquince6713]

Always look forward to your productions. The curation of these videos is premium content.

[@MICHAELSMITH-hx8sw]

Such a awesome event and series, thank you for sharing. When jackets are available your friends at FerrParts want to purchase some :)

[@dplynch75]

Utmost respect for creating such an event! Also full credit for the control to not wring Hoovies neck.

Awesome stuff

[@gtboard]

Well done 😎

Absolutely amazing!!!!

Awesome.. And well done like always.. Would be interesting too know how many countach lambos are in south africa

Simply excellent

[@cencio_1976]

Will the poster at minute 6:57 be available for buying too? Looks so awesomely vintage

[@WeAreCurated]

Definitely!

Fantastic..pure heaven

[@energyasylum997]

Damn homie what a great story, that’s what’s up John!! I happy for you having success with this, as I am for anybody having success because it motivates me to do better/try harder too! Wish you and yours the best.👌🏽. From a subscriber out here in Californ-I-A ! ✌🏽

[@jdmimportlogistics]

Incredible have no idea how I missed the memo on this. I was working in Ocean Colony HMB around this time and was at the Rolex 2 of the 3 days was this on the 3rd? I remember seeing the Countachs on Hwy 1 somewhere. Grand Slam Game 7 World Series Reggie Jackson level!!!

[@carlos64030]

Oh man... I really wish I could have been a part of this! Sadly, me standing 6'5", I can't fit inside of a Countach, anyway. I hope none of the Countach owners reading this takes any offense, but as much as a fan boy I am of the Countach, that orange Diablo GT stole the show!

[@craigsommerville2300]

I admire you for your passion & drive in creating this celebration - but how is a cr fully designed & developed in Italy the American dream??

[@geoffmarsh7986]

Fantastic videos. Would have been much nicer to have a Maserati Levante as the camera car, rather than the mass produced German car. Must have been a nightmare to organise such a rare event.

[@DoctaM3]

Bronze Countach is 😱😱😱

[@shortz9604]

So love the 80”s porn music you chose for this video A+

[@cavallorojo]

Thank you thank you!!

[@TerranDL]

awesome as always!

[@todolamborghinitv]

Menuda maravilla!!!

[@bits2646]

I was surprised to not see Walter Wolf or his lambo in this gathering, after all, he's the one that "invented" the wing that is so iconic that the model with the wing is known as Walter Wolf Countach... But was nice to see Balboni :)

[@LoudModeOn]

Swear I saw PanTheOrganizer in the drivers meeting at 11:36.

[@frankw7266]

And at 0:51. If it's not him, it's his freakin' twin brother!!

Does anyone know the music name that was plying at the end of this video, its just beautiful music

[@simp2234]

Sliver low body was beauty

[@benzinapaul7416]

Did Matt Farah not join you or was he too arrogant to take part....?

[@aspero23]

so you got an insider who told you in 2-3 years they will make a Countach 2021 so you borrowd cash and bought all old countachers knowing a new car will come out and all this old ones will become even more saw after. nice

[@gregheard184]

I thought US versions had to have front bumpers.

[@100proofcrew]

Would have been nice to hear some audio of the cars while they're cruising, you're a great story teller, but some raw audio instead just you talking over the whole thing would have been sweet.

[@karlvanginderdeuren4009]

it is crazy how people love these oldschool lambos despite being so unreliable when not often driven.

[@drivingrightimports138]

I enjoy your stories but you should do a part 4 with little to no talking and just us listen to the sounds of the cars as they drove around

[@chrisrnielsen]

Too bad you couldn't share the sounds with us...

[@hector69ize]

🤔🤔🤔 Am glad it was the Lamborghini marque that brought the outlandish and jaw dropping Countach to the automotive world and not Ferrari or Maserati or De Tomaso. It is IMHO the perfect excessive and outrageous model for the much loved Italian brand. Cheers 🥂

Very nice, but doing 350 miles in a countach in just one event it's not that cool.. take care of them please.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

7:55 "This event is not about Countaches" You're right: its about having the money to buy such cars. And about been white because I can't even find the tokenistic Afro-American in the footage.
