Real Stratos

[davehanman]

I just got back from Germany where i made a quick dash to visit Autohaus Sparwald to get some parts for the Safari car.

Udo kitted me out with quite a few parts that i needed, then took me out in his GrIV Bellosta Stratos, stopped it, and said "OK, now you drive". What a shock !

So we headed off into France, my first time at the wheel of any Stratos, let alone a GrIV car. An awesome experience.

What amazed me was how close the handling felt to Kermit, my Hawk - all credit to Gerry for getting it right.

It would be interesting to get behind the wheel of a LB to see what that feels like.

The only downer was that i got de-frocked of my Alitalia jacket in lieu of a little discount !

A big thanks to Udo for his help with my missing parts.
