Saw it, looked a bit back to the future ish but in a better way than the delorean.
mate from here (justin) has a lancia delta integrale hf turbo evo 2 or something.
forgive the lack of knowledge, but when he was going on about it i just saw it as a rusty old lancia (it wasnt rusty) it was left hand drive, big arches, alacantra suede trim, and a bit loud. well frig me, if its not possibly one of the fastest violent cars i have ever been in. real bone shaker but seriously rapid.
takes some TLC and deep pockets to maintain apparently.

I said the same thing, thought it would be Lancia, but all 'GREAT' cars, please...at best, great until they fell to bits.. :?

On another V4 note, my mother in law used to have an old datsun/ nissan sunny which had a V4 AND was 4WD!!! (It was pretty rubbish though.) :grin:

Was very weird, driving over hammersmith flyover yesterday and what did I see... a Lancia Montecarlo in bright orange! Was thinking mmm don't see many of them around, just a few cars ahead I saw a very old skool rally looking porshe (all look the same at a glance) Thought to myself I bet thats some top gear challenge. It probably wasn't but to see a whole thing about Lancias that night.....wohaaaa spooky! Good show though 10x better than last weeks pile of ego filled twoddle.

lmao! as soon as he said won the rally car it was obvious it'd be lancia.

My mate smashed up a delta integrale a few years ago used to keep up with him in my mk1 astra gte until he put the boot down haha, *memories* :P
