Sorry
I was actually 10 in 1985, so not a very young kid, but a kid nonetheless.
Thanks for all the help so far guys! I couldn't find the specific issue of road and track online, but I haven't looked all that hard yet. Their back issues don't go that far, at least not through their website - they outsource their back issues to some other company.
Allen, you're right - the random pics thread is far too huge to go through, looking for one picture!
I've gone through 44 pages on flickr - at 25 images/page that's 1100 Countach pics!!! Wow.
