914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Some things are cooler than $$$

Posted by: Unobtanium-inc Nov 25 2016, 07:46 PM

So last week I had a call from a Lamborghini dealer who needed a part for a 60 Roadster. It was a weird obscure part and not easy to get off so I passed him onto someone else. He called back and said no one had the part, but that he would drive up from NJ and pull it off himself, apparently the Roadster belonged to the owner of the dealership so it was very important. I figured I should step in and I pulled the part and sent it to him, no charge. How do you price a strange bracket anyway. Well, Karma came back today in the form of a box full of Lambo coolness. I would probably never go out and buy a Lambo coffee mug and I doubt Matt would pick up a Lambo shirt but we are both enjoying both. Somethings are cooler than money, Lambo swag is one of them.
Quiz question, what is the bracket?

Thats cool. I had a Lamborghini Tank top when I was a kid. I wanted to find it I was pretty sure it was still in a box somewhere. I tore into the closets in search but still havnt come across it. Too much stuff. beer.gif

Looks like an exhaust clamp to me....but then I don't drive a Lambo.

Wrong end of the car, and the part is for a 60 Porsche Roadster.

I like it when good things happen when you go out of your way to help. I think paying it forward is a great!! first.gif

I'm now convinced that Lambo coffee just tastes better!
