And CC don't go researching this either. What was Lambo's main focus of business before he built the cars?

Lambo went to Ferrari to deal with transmissions, not sure if Lambo wanted to sell or buy, Enzo said basically eat shit and Lambo said eat shit back I'm gonna build a car to compete with yours. Unfortunately Lambo BK'd more often than cars sold back then.

I thought the riff between Lambo and Enzo was about clutches not transmissions. Lambo wanted to sell clutches to Enzo because the Ferraris had shit clutches and Lambo had proven strong ass tractor clutch design.

As long as we are playing Italiano trivia.
Anybody know the name of the AMERICAN motorsports national and world champion that is married to a grand daughter of one of the founding bros of Maserati?

A hint. He was a center figure in one of the most famous "team" maneuvers in American motorsports history, and made the recent Nascar team incident look down right pale in comparison.
Another hint, Sharp Shooter should know this.

Just curious. Did you know that, or was the picture hint?
He met her in Italy while racing in Europe. He spoke no Italian, she spoke no English. I cannot imagine what they had in common:wink_002:
Still together, so I assume they learned to communicate. Or maybe not:wink:
