The Infamous Will Nix (Ex Ford Dealership owner) now a perament condo resident at Pelican Bay used to have a Lambo Countach...he blew the the clutch 3 times and got tired of repairing it so he put a Ford 427 zSideoiler in it for realibility.....I used to see him driving around in his Cobra with a hot blond chicky.....and sluring his words on his late night cable TV adverts.....

I remember that Countach. Will Nix was reving up that Countach after a car show in Long Beach one night trying to get a race going. It was pretty fast from what I can remember. I also remember something about somebody that lost their life under his circumstances too. I guess thats why he is a permanent condo resident at Pelican Bay.

Thanks very much. I wrote it explicitly as a "Thank You" to the Pelicanheads who helped me so much during the project. I figured I couldn't repay the community with "good" advice (since I know nothing useful) but I hoped I could at least make y'all laugh a bit and spread the slack.
