... and an old Lancia.
When discussion on another thread turned to “ which car does white van man 👍 “ I thought I’d update this old thread rather than hijack another!
One of the more memorable weekends in the last 6 months was when my brother brought his lancia delta integrale up from down south. We drove that and the 205 back to back on Friday night. We had waited a while to get the 2 together- it was like that blackadder scene when lord flashheart meets his german counterpart ( “ finally the 2 great gentlemen flyers meet “)
My brother had one back in the mid 90s. He had to sell when his work took him abroad. I remember back then he took me out on a drive one day. He took a tight bend at such astonishing speed ( or so I thought at the time) to genuinely frighten me. He said I went quiet for several minutes afterwards. I didn’t want to admit it- but in truth i did nearly sh!t myself.
He bought another one on return to blighty around 10 years ago- the yellow one pictured above.
It’s a great car- though not nearly as enjoyable as my 205- not in my view anyway.
It doesn’t scare me nearly as much now. I think the golf is quicker and corners harder- certainly in dry conditions. I’m sure it would be no match for a TCR.
I’m looking forward to him bringing it up again so we can drive it back to back with the golf.
