And as for Valentino Balbo........

who?

Still heavily leaning to the new event, La Dolce Vita, at Black Horse.

I want Tom to sign some stuff for me.

Valentino Balboni is Lambo's test driver since the 60's. He never had another job but at Lambo. Started as an apprentice and then moved to testing cars. He is a nice guy and certainly does not fit the image of a Lambo driver.
There is a nice story -which he claims to be 100% true- when testing a Countach his break pedal used to refuse service; when he finally managed to pull the car over he saw the problem a young cat was stuck between the pedal and the floorboard. He claims it was a black cat...
Some history; ofcourse I do realize that your Valentino who could be cynisism and I am making a complete donkey of myself, but hey hard to spot in posts...(the donkey and the cynisism..)
