I'm 6'3" and 210. The Countach was on my wall beside Farah. The posters were as close as I got to either. The Countach was just one of those dream cars from my generation. Not that I could ever afford one but it was nice to dream about. Now not so much.
Same for the Cobra. A friend of a friend has a Kit Cobra. He has a 427 in it and it goes like stink. He took me for a ride. Took a month for the smile to go away. I do not fit. My eye line was above the header on the wind screen and my knees were locked under the dash. One more dream in the dust bin.
