A horse and bull story …..
by Sunil Bali, 26-03-2017
Rucci was born into a family of grape farmers, but was always much more interested in mechanics and engines.
Rucci realized that the productivity of his farm would be far higher if he had a better, more reliable tractor. So he decided to build one.
His tractor was so good that other farmers wanted one. Rucci’s tractor business grew quickly bringing him considerable wealth. So much so that Rucci treated himself to a very expensive sports car.
Although he loved his sports car, it frustrated Rucci, as he found the ride unnecessarily rough and the transmission unreliable.
Given his expertise of building tractors which were reliable, robust and more comfortable than any other tractors, Rucci wrote to the owner of the luxury sports car firm offering his advice.
A few days later, Rucci received a very curt and dismissive reply from Enzo Ferrari telling him that he should keep his advice to himself and stick to building tractors.
Angered by Ferrari’s response, Ferruccio "Rucci" Lamborghini decided to grab his bull by the horns and design his own car.
The horse and the bull have been rivals ever since.
ps. The tractor in the photo is a Lamborghini tractor.
Humour
- I told my girlfriend she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised.
- My friend says to me: “What rhymes with orange” I said, “No it doesn’t."
- How many opticians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Is it one or two? One… or two? - What’s orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot.
