the Lamborghini family museum is located in Funo di Argelato

the facility is a collection of almost all the private cars of Ferruccio, from his Miura SV to the Countach and Diablo. The real icing on the cake is his famous white Ferrari 250 GT—the origin of the legendary rivalry between il Commendatore and Ferruccio.

Early Carioca tractors were the first economical agricultural machine to be produced and sold in the tough years after the Second World War. Lamborghini was able to re-use the military surplus of  Willys Jeeps in order to build a tractor that was economical enough for farmers to buy and use.

ready yourself.. this isn't going to feel right. It's a gut punch... Pininfarina has fallen on such hard times, they sold 76% of the heavily indebted business to Indian conglomerate Mahindra Group

I warned you. Now, I have nothing against, nor do I know anything about, Mahindra group... other than the obvious. They aren't Italian.

That means quite a bit to me. I think Italian companies, should remain forever Italian. Same with British companies, I'm completely opposed to Rolls Royce being run by anyone but a stuffy prude with an accent that has tea every afternoon, and frequently asks god to save his queen. And those blimey grunts making Jaguars ought to pronounce it wrong so it rhymes with esquire.

That is the way I'm built. I want John Deere to be run by farmers in America, and Mack trucks to be tough as nails and last forever. Harley should always be made in Milwaukee by guys that drink beer made in Milwaukee. Yes, I'm out of touch with times, I still recall when Milwaukee was the beer making capital of the USA

And when Ferrari makes a car, I want to know it has cappuccino fingerprints on it somewhere. It's the way the planet is supposed to move, counter clock wise when viewed from above the north pole. With Italians designing cars no one can afford, but everyone desires
