Tuesdays and Thursdays are not my favourite days. Tuesday is still near the start of the week, while Thursday is not close enough to the end of the week. But when someone unloads a Lamborghini from a flatbed truck and offers it to you for a drive, even a lame Tuesday becomes special. The brief from Motoring World was simple — why did Lamborghini get the special status when we launched this magazine 21 years ago? Why is it that all writers and photographers of this magazine have Lamborghini nicknames?
I was supposed to explain this, as I was the editor back then, while discovering the all-new Lamborghini Huracán Evo Coupe. The answer to that is simple — I had a Lamborghini Countach poster on my wall when I was in college, and it’s still there back home. As a student in a small town called Trivandrum, it was the closest I could get to a supercar. But slowly, the poster started getting under my skin.
I read everything about Lamborghini — the legend of Ferruccio meeting Enzo, the early cars, the gorgeous Miura, the names borrowed from bullfighting, and so on. Around this time, I decided to do something about my passion for cars and decided to become a motoring scribe. In short, I owed a lot to Lamborghini and obviously that reflected in the magazine which we started from blank. Objectivity be damned, Lamborghinis were celebrated by Motoring. And I am glad someone thought of this story idea for the 21st anniversary issue.
