Slightly off topic.... But each Friday afternoon where I work a trivia question is sent to all staff along with a reminder to switch off their PC's over the weekend. The trivia question posed last Friday -

To what do we owe the existence of Lamborghini sports cars?











And the answer:

The sports car manufacturer Lamborghini, was a spin off from the very successful tractor manufacturer, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A.

But why did a tractor company start making very fast sports cars?

Well, the founder of the tractor company, Ferruccio Lamborghini, was an avid sports car collector (and had a Ferrari). The story goes that Mr Lamborghini went to see Enzo Ferrari and complain about the clutch in his Ferrari 250 GT.

Apparently Enzo didn't take too kindly to this and told Mr Lamborghini to "stick to driving tractors".

Lamborghini then went back to his tractor factory and dismantled his Ferrari's clutch only to find that it was made by the same company who made the clutches in his tractors.

That is where he got the idea he could build his own sports car and the Lamborghini (as we know it) was born.

[Aceyducey]

More importantly...how do they get the horse back out?

I suppose it'd be useful if you every ran out of fuel

[Brenda Irwin]

How to get the horse in? Well, for starters, remove the back seats. Next, it's not a horse, it's a pony, (a horse with short legs). Open one door and coax the pony in with some tempting grass or hay. Once he's in, shut the door and prey like hell it doesn't panick and trash the rest of the car. :)

How the hell did they get the horse in there???I guess they would have to start by getting off their ... hmmm ... donkey?

OziLOL. Just pictured the horse letting go. Now that would be funny

Open the door and put it in :p

How would ya get an elephant in? Take the horse out first :p

[Lacasa]

That’s a picture of the new Holden Hybrid ***-1 (Alternate Supply System #1). The pony gets out and pulls the car when you’re in a slow moving traffic situation. This allows for greater fuel economy; however, the gas emissions are on par with standard vehicles. :D

Especially the methane? (sp?)

Nobody I know but ABC could give a clue. Here's an interesting observation. Those are not the standard Perrilli P Zero tires on that car.

You may wonder why that is significant? Well, Ferrari are so pedantic about these things that if you don't fit the recommended tires it voids the warranty and therefore (theoretically) voids the insurance. I wonder if the assessor was eagle eyed enough to pick that?
