    I saw the repeat of this Nat Geo. show on Auto Factories and really enjoyed the Lamborghini Factory tour. Some of the best scenes were from the "wrestling matches," the ladies in the saddlery or interior dept., gave when they had to wrestle the dash covers and fit them to the dash.

    Also introduced was Giorgio Sanna, as Chief Test Driver, taking Valentino Balboni's Station, because of his retirement. What does anyone know about him, or met him?

    Yes, he was at the Lamborghini Owners National Meet at Le Belle Macchine d'Italia a few years ago.

    Ah! Then he didn't start by pushing a broom at the factory when he was a kid, like Valentino Balboni? He's an accomplished driver with professional credentials.

    I presume then, that Automobili Lamborghini, has a staff of test drivers, because of increased production?

    Lamborghini has a number of testdrivers, but one has to be the chief...

    Giorgio was driving in the italian Formula 3 championship, one thing is for sure, he knows driving...

    Please keep in mind that Vale was doing his job for years, every successor has a hard beginning after him.
