THE Sydney grandfather who turned heads around Western Sydney when he hooked up a trailer full of goats to the back of his luxury sports car said he was just doing it for a bit of fun.

Video footage surfaced yesterday of Don Capitani driving his schmick 2002 Lamborghini along the Hume Highway in Liverpool with a clunky old metal trailer behind it.

If that odd juxtaposition of class and crap wasn’t enough, when the camera zoomed in on the contents of the trailer there lazing comfortably without a care in the world were a number of happy goats.

The video footage was soon being viewed across the globe — with more than 500,000 views on YouTube so far, and the hunt was on for the identity of the mystery driver — and his equally mysterious female passenger.

Domenico Capitanisaid he did it for a laugh.


It turns out the stunt, while completely real, was orchestrated by the grandfather of seven who just wanted to do something that was fun and diverted attention, if momentarily, from the constant flow of horrible news so far this year.

“I just wanted to do something that was fun, that made people laugh,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“And it worked.”

The former mechanic, who keeps a number of different animals on his property in Western Sydney, said he wanted to reassure fellow enthusiasts he didn’t damage the luxury car at all.

“There’s no damage to the car whatsoever. I didn’t put any drill holes or welding anywhere on the frame of the car,” he said.

“A mate of mine and I were talking about the possibility of doing something like that and thought it would be something a little bit different.”

Mr Capitani’s identity was uncovered on Friday morning when son Mario called KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show to say it was his dad behind the Lamborghini’s wheel.

With a penchant for expensive wheels and a love of farm animals, Kyle had found a friend for life.

“I love this bloke, he’s got a farm full of animals and awesome cars,” Kyle said.

“Kyle’s met his soulmate in Donny, it’s like he’s found his long lost twin,” Jackie added.

It turns out it was also son Mario behind the camera, his dad dobbing him in to the Daily Telegraph with a laugh.

“Yeah, he was hanging out the window filming us and laughing,” he said.

Mr Capitani knew only too well that his set up would turn heads around Sydney, and that’s what he wanted — to have a laugh.

But he was surprised by how quickly he had been thrown into the spotlight.

“This is all a bit crazy — everyone wants to talk to me now!” he said.

So what do you do when your Lambo stops turning heads? attach a rusted out trailer full of goats.

Anyone else disappointed this was just a 'stunt' and that he isn't just some guy who legitimately uses a lambo to transport goats?

How does a mechanic afford a lambo?

So not a photoshop but a set up/publicty stunt.

Either a workshop owner or made some smart investments. Know of a few unskilled people who bought houses in the right places back when they cost SFA and now are worth many millions.
Or rich wife?

Only real ways for a mechanic to afford.

Good on him, nothing wrong with having a bit of fun.

anyone who's upset about it not being 'real' probably should get outdoors a bit more often
