It would be good, I'll see what I can do ..
Vids were great, we forget how video technology has matured!
For me the sound of the Lancia Stratos bouncing off the trees on approach is pretty unbeatable.
I bought a Chevette HS 2300 and fitted a full roll cage, bilstein gas suspension, uprated top mounts, sump guard, Cibie and did club road rallies in it. Then sold it to a friend as I was going to Kuwait on a 2 year contract.
He swapped out the cams and fitted dual twin choke dellortos to replace the pair of weak-looking Strombergs (fancy SU copies). Whilst out there, I nearly ordered an XR3 (for UK use), but swapped it for a Sunbeam Lotus (black/silver). The joys of a tax-free income!
phew!
Sold that on my return along with my left hand drive Datsun 280Z targa top which I shipped back from Kuwait, to get married!
Ah nostalgia - aint what it used to be ..!
