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.

I don't know, but the car wouldn't pull much.. it's only got 1hp.
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.
