Just a quick note to those who know me (formally BentleyLamboBrum) that I have just finished my first week working at Lamborghini in Sant Agata.

As someone who had the Countach picture on the wall as a kid (you know the one with the white car and the hot girl!) it has been quite emotional to come here and work at the actual factory. Even getting my security pass with my photo on was an experience.

Its just one of those things you dream of when you are young and never this will actually happen!

And if that was not enough I am then given the desk right next to Valentino Balboni!!

All too much.......

As anyone who has visited here cameras are a big no around the factory. I am actually going to come back in tomorrow to take some photos of the public areas and of the local area.

And you are right I am lucky, lucky man!

How is your Italian coming along ? When I came over to Tuscany 7 years ago this July.... I picked it up not by going to language schools (well OK, a little) but by going to the local pizza bars where the locals hang out !

So when do you get your company car ? wink

Hi Martin

That's great and your right Valentino Balboni is such a GREAT MAN have been lucky enough to meet him a few times and when it was Leslie's 18th Birthday he was taken round the factory what a birthday present that was one he will always treasure.

Great job
