Mods, i have to dispute the validity of this post, it was actually 3.6 seconds!
3.6 Seconds is the average time between someone producing a pack of Ferrero Rocher and someone else quoting the advert.

Ferriuccio Lamborghini was a successful tractor manufacturer. He bought himself a Ferrari in the mid 1960's, and it was such an unreliable pile of poop that he sought an audience with Enzo Ferrari himself to lodge his complaint.

Ferrari, a notoriously difficult man, would have none of it. His parting shot was "well if you think you can do better then be my guest." Those words spurred an angry Ferruccio Lamborghini to try just that. Whether he did better or not is open to question, but it's fair to say that me had a damn good go at it.

Lamnorghini was a Taurus, and adopted the fighting bull logo accordingly. He named his cars as per Brother Diogenes explanation above.

My God...what have I done? Real facts have no place in the factoid thread!
Massimo Laverda made combine Harvesters' one day he decided to make bikes that had the same qualities,

Here is another interesting factoid. A true one so Classic will be happy.
First the background.
My cycling mate, here in Majorca, has at leat 25 nasty gnat bites that have developed into big red lumps. I, on the other hand have not been bitten once.
Mr Google tells me people with blood type O are far more likely to be bitten.
I asked my mate what blood group he was and sure enough....its O.
One lives and learns. Unpleasantly for him :rolleyes:
