"The client is not always right." - Enzo Ferrari

That's what he said after Ferruccio Lamborghini came to Enzo complaining about the clutch in his new Ferrari with advise on how to fix it. "What does a tractor manufacturer know about clutches for high performance cars??" We all know what happened after that.

Ettore Bugatti favoured cable-operated brakes demanding heavy foot pressure.
On one occasion he loftily told a customer, "I make my cars to go, not to stop."

--------------------------

During the 50's, the famous racing driver, Juan Manuel Fangio had a new team-mate who was struggling to improve his laptimes.

He asked Fangio for advise....

Fangio shared with him the secret of all successful racing drivers......

"More gas, less brakes."

I once went off track during a PDX. I was asked what happened, "I looked in the mirror and saw a Viper and figured I had better let him pass, off I went". Instructor said "you never worry about what is behind you, unless you block they will get around".
