Man builds Lamborghini in his cellar... but needs digger to drive it out .
A man built a Lamborghini sports car in his cellar - but then needed a digger to drive it out.Ken Imhoff fell in love with the Countach after seeing one in the movie Cannonball Run.However,
the car fanatic couldn't afford to buy one so instead he spent ten
years building one in the basement of his home in Wisconsin, U.S.After
the completion of his masterpiece, Ken encountered a problem when he
realised there was no garage door to drive the Lamborghini through.
Car-azy: Ken Imhoff's hand-crafted Lamborghini then had to be dug out with an excavatorTherefore
he decided to dig a ramp and hire an excavator to gouge out a slope in
his garden and dig down into the foundations of the house to get the
car out.Ken said: 'I was like an expectant father watching it
come through the wall. I was literally shaking. It was like an artist
unwrapping his masterpiece.
'I knew at the moment the last blanket was removed I'd accomplished what I'd dreamed about so many years before.'The
neighbours started gathering around as it emerged, waiting for me to
remove the blankets. I had never seen it in the light of day either.
Rescue mission: Workmen clear the area beneath Ken Imhoff's home in Wisconsin ready to dig his supercar out
Big job: A digger gouged out a slope in his garden, even removing a section of the property's foundations'As
the last blanket and car cover were removed I knew at that moment I had
accomplished what I had dreamed about so many years ago and to see it
sitting there in front of me was surreal.'The whole process took two-and-a-half hours and there it was, my Lamborghini safely in the garage.'The next day we filled the hole in the basement with new block in no time it was good as new.'
Pride and joy: It took Ken ten long years to assemble his dream motor
How about that then.
