I think I?m going to have to take a flask and sandwiches and have a long sit by the Hawk stand.
You see I love Urraco and 308s and Merak and Panteras and the iso Lele is a favourite But you just know they are going to be horribly brittle. I?ve been round old Italian cars a long time and they make me wince. Even the ones with the Detroit motors. That?s why I like Alfas, if they aren?t rusty it?s possible to fix them. If they aren?t rusty. To that end as a road car a stradale recreation is fabulous. It beats a 308 (gt4 or gtb)on looks in my view and if I?ve built it I can mend it. Round here there are not many people who can mend stuff so owners of any classic car are on their own. And the Italians just ooze style. That lime green one on petrolicious. With the way my North of England eye does style Id never dream to put washed out lime green with gold wheels and a tan and black interior. But just look at it. But then the rally stratos was always the other Worldly thing when I was growing up. On Rally Cross on TV or in books - that and the 037. How can people like Quattro sports.
Ill keep thinking.
