Tractor, its italian so they used the entire A/C from a lamborghini murcielago LP640, all components are same.

I'm guessing the reverse is true. The LP640 probably used the tractor parts! lol.

Serously, tho. IIRC There were only maybe a few hundred LP640's made every year...) Just look at the probability of having a tractor roll into your shop compared to the LP640... :)
 
My patio umbrella was left open during a storm and it blew over and broke two of the arms. The tubing is very thin wall rectangular aluminum tubing. So I grabbed some steel stock and milled a plug to go inside the aluminum tube and then bolted everything together again. I then reattached the diagonal support arm and presto I have a working umbrella again.

Well i'm one of only a handful of people that will work on a vehicle with more than 4 cylinders, so if one breaks down i'll probably get that call. Just yesterday i worked on a dodge challenger V6 with broken fuel lines, that car is a copy of a old mercedes and makes the worst sound any engine makes.

I did the same a week or so ago. My wife swiveled the umbrella so that it caught the wind, she was concerned about the sun, not the wind.
She went inside and a table I made out of trex that fits between the chaise lounges (heavy old trex , not the new thin stuff) went over into the pool and broke the veins. I did the same, and used rivets to make sure they stay in place ... then used jbweld to smooth the pieces together and sanded.

It came out good, and will last years more. I am sure that no where around here has umbrellas now anyway.
 
wasn't that the original insult Enzo Ferrari made to Ferruccio Lamborghini that his cars drove like tractors?
