Anything you can do...

In the 1950s an Italian tractor manufacturer went to Modena to talk to Enzio Ferrari, head of the famous car company.  He explained that he had owned several Ferraris, and although in general he found them attractive cars, he thought their clutches were sub-standard and he found the company's after-sales service left much to be desired. Ferrari, who was well-known as a proud man with a short temper, refused to listen to him and had him effectively thrown out.  So the tractor manufacturer decided to expand and start making cars himself.  And his name?  Ferruccio Lamborghini.
