Ferruccio Lamborghini
Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in Italy in 1916.
If he was still alive I would thank him for inventing the most unique car I've ever seen.
Who can say they wouldn't love to have a Lamborghini?
Some say the Lamborghini was a result on an arrogant remark from the owner on Ferrari. There is a famous story about how he was frustrated with problems he had with a clutch in a Ferrari (a Ferrari 250 GT), and went to visit Enzo Ferrari who's factory was nearby. Enzo had no time for a tractor manufacture and simply dismissed him. Had a simple "I'll show you" attitude been Ferruccio Lamborghini's motivation? Well from what i can see he had more than he bargained for. Lamborghini decided there was nothing Ferrari was doing he could not do better. He decided too build his own car with a V12 engine.
From being known as Mr. Fix it, to building tractors and later on building on of the most famous 'high performance' cars Ferruccio really made it big.

Some say
The 1964 350 GT Lamborghini
The stylish Classic. Over they years 125 were made over the world. Whoever the lucky owners may be should hold on to it, there'll never be anything like it ever again. She was designed racing after all, she is a sports car. There had been more GT's before and after this model with a similar build and a difference in speed. However, each of them are gold to History.

The tribute site for all cars that should never be forgotten. The reason why a classic is a classic and also the reformed version of a classic. This site should be interesting to petrol heads out there. Proudly blogged by a car journalist.

What is Classics and 21st Century Cars All About
As a Petrol head myself I've always loved cars in general but what I'm most passionate about would definitely be classics..
Most people don't realise the difference between a classic and an older car that still has that race car engine.
A classic car commonly has a rich history behind and keeps it's value if not increases its value over a number of years..
If I had a Mercedes Benz SL300 from a junk yard and built it up from scratch it would still be worth millions in my books..
However if it would be a new Mercedes C Class I'd probably leave it lying there. Well, that's just my way of differentiating between the two..
What you'd find on this blog would be Classics and the story behind it. As well as the new reformed version of it. Sometimes the two would be compared and I'll let you decide which one is better!
