I’ve owned a handful of performance cars. Redlined and burnouts every day.

 

That said, you haven’t posted any photos of your Countach in a while!

Can you please post a photo of that beast ? :shock:

 

Fortis, "La Bestia" Has been gone through mechanically, ice cold A/C and I converted to Euro front bumper/spoiler and the Euro rear lights. While many like the Red I sprayed the car with temporary dull black coating. A Devil like me is most suited in a black Count. Lol

I'm embarrassed to say I have not driven her at all this summer but for sure will bring her out soon.

I drive the Huracan regularly, but the H as we all know is very civilized.

Doc, I made videos and stills of me doing some wild burnouts/ doughnuts/ flames in the Count. I know they would get mega hits if I share them but I'm hoping to find a sponsor that will tie in with my Superboat Race Team.

Champ,

 

Good to see you're still racing. Btw, can you help me find a 1075? My 50' cigarette needs an engine and everyone keeps pointing me to Cobra which I won't deal with.

 

I forgot, I tried to do a burnout with my old countach, that turned into a toasted clutch within 15'!

Who went through the car mechanically?

Is it carbureted or fuel injected? Almost looks like RHershey's old LP5000S - FI.

Bad ass!

 

Oh, and more pics of the boats!

 

So...you like the boats?

There's nothing like flying the seven Seas in a high speed cat but they make owning an Aventador seem economical Lol

Emanon, you don't drive the boat, you fly it. Second still shot shows us playing peekaboo with Miss Geico in offshore conditions 150 feet off the beach.

Talk about excitement and fan engagement, the holes were so big a fourty two foot boat just disappears.

A 50 Marauder!? Awesome!!

I was going to suggest Randy. I know he's had detractors but there are always two sides. He's been in business forever so he must do lots of good and he stands behind them.

Try offshoreonly.com https://www.offshoreonly.com/classifieds/in...=any&q=1075

My cat has been parked so far this year. In February I decided to do a major update/overhaul. What I thought would take 5 months will take seven. As I'm sure you're aware much of our setup is one off, it takes time.

I'm planning to debut at the SBI Clearwater event 9/30 along with the UAE Victory team which will be introducing two boats. Should be exciting.

Good luck with the Cig

We went through the car in house. I'm in the business and have been playing with exotics since I was a kid in the 70's.

This car had been parked since the early 90's and was brought to me running, but running poorly. It is EFI converted with Lambo OEM EFI/cat system.

We replaced all hoses, fluids, filters, wires, cap, rotor, a few rod ends, serviced the fuel distributors and she runs great. Clutch seems good and A/C is ice cold after we replaced all lines and updated compressor. The interior is near mint and body excellent. Someone painted it wine red which I am not a fan of but the semi gloss black works for me. I'd love to convert to Webers if a setup became available and I did convert it to the Euro front bumper and rear lamps. Attached image is prior to bumper/spoiler conversion.

This car is a solid driver and gets way more attention than the Huracan.

Yes sir! I'm gonna have Steve from Progressive go through the motors but one has gone missing (long story) so I need a rebuilt engine or a buildable core.

Trips! Nice, looks like it's silver.

The silver on my boat is a special effect color. It was a grey metallic when I bought it, the new color shines like chrome in the right light.

Were you selling this boat? I think I looked at it a few years ago if it's the same one but ended up buying a 42 fountain with trip 575's for way less $

Yes, about 5-6-7 years ago. I think it was in Fort Lauderdale but never actually saw it in person. It's a rare boat, easy to remember, probably still have photos.

I bought the Hyundai..I mean Fountain for a fraction which ended up being a good decision. Sold it and almost got money back two years later and never had to fix anything major.

Lol, a marauder with triple 1075’s is a special boat. I have a friend with a 50’ with twin 1350’s, not even close!

Agreed, that's a very special boat.

Back then I was adamant about having a triple engine because if one failed I could plane up on two, and guess what? I was wrong! But she was pretty quick.

The 1075's will probably plane your Marauder. Have you ever tried? We've gotten the cat on plane with one engine. While trying the prop was cavitating badly so I went out back, dropped an empty water bottle in the aeration tube and voila!

Patience is not a virtue I possess and I consider idling in on one engine a form of torture.

These engines will approach 2000 HP. I can adjust boost from cockpit and typically run them 1500-1700 HP. On kill mode they'll wear out real quick.

Very cool

 

Thanks, but not as cool as a Countach. We're so lucky!

One day after it rains here I will pull my Countach out and get some drifting vids. I dont have the heart to do it in the dry!
