This is what it's like to take a Countach through the St. Bernard Pass

God, I'd love to do this!

This guy rotates through supercars like an SRT Demon goes through wheels. But despite this, Harry Metcalfe seems to be the most approachable guy ever

Having founded Evo magazine back in 1998, Harry currently spends his time enjoying his collection of cars and showing them off on his YouTube channel. And boy, the things he does with them...

Starting off in the French town of Antibes, Part 2 of Harry Metcalfe's epic Lamborghini Countach Euro-trip focuses on getting all the way to Switzerland in order to get to the Lamborghini & Design: Omaggio A Le Corbusier Per Il Primo Concorso D'Eleganza.

While most of the journey is covered by 'boring' stretches of motorway, Harry is persistent that the Italian Autostrada is amongst the "great bits of road in Europe". Not that you could complain, with all of those bridges and tunnels, and that epic scenery to the south.

God, I'd love to do this! God, I'd love to do this!

Despite the presence of police and traffic cameras, we doubt anyone would be able to resist letting the six Webber carburetors feed the massive 5.2-litre quad-cam V12.

While we don't know how long the series will go for, this is focusing on the second installment.

Check out both parts of the Euro-trip below, as well as a detailed in-depth look at the Countach by Harry himself.
