My god, something bad has come over me. I want a Countach really really bad.

I honestly have no idea how I came to have that clip.

it is fully labeled as 1953_BRM_1500cc_supercharged_V16_600BHP@11500RPM

did those regulators work out for you?

Pretty sure that's from a soundtrack that was made when he and Mark Hales wrote a book about Nick's car collection. The book's called "At the Limit." Worth a read, as Nick has quite the collection.

The regulators weighed a little more than the later, cross-arm style, believe it or not, so I'll probably use the later ones. I haven't cleaned up yours yet, so I'll wait to make the final decision later.

No you don't. Take my word for it.

Joe is a nice guy and the guy to go to, for a Countach or Miura. He helped me sell one of my cars last year.

Before you pull the trigger, get a quote for a replacement oil pan for a countach.
They hang down kinda low and in the early 90's a replacement cost over $5000.
prolly double that now.
They sure are pretty though.
The output of the crankshaft goes into the transmission then reverses direction 180 and goes back into the engine/oil pan, where it connects to the differential which is housed inside the oil pan. Cast aluminum art, but vulnerable and expensive.

No worries there, you'd hit the frame on the ground before you'd hit the pan. Lot's of them running around with dented frame tubes...likely from speed bumps as you'd never bottom one on the road.

The early cars had magnesium castings. Price one of those, if you can find one....

Javadog, that sir is prehaps one of the best lines I have read in a while. I shall steal it. Thank you!

I remember a guy in my hometown that had made a similar sound with his cutlas.

He had a hole in the bottom of his muffler so he just stuck a coffee can into it. Sounded almost the same ;)

lolo, did sound good though! Cops went bananas trying to figure out why it sounded so loud :D
