I recently wrote a review of the GIpro and it has now been published by webBikeWorld. Follow the link and check it out!
During a reasonably long and fitting homage to Lancia (Fulvia, Montecarlo, 037 and Delta) on Top Gear last night “The Stig” was given a Hawk HF3000 (that is the Alfa V6 based one) replica to drive around the track.
It sounds fantastic but the bucking and diving under braking looks really scary! Hawk are not the only maker of replicas as I found out when I did some research a couple years ago.
Oh they also mentioned the Beta and the HPE in the full episode.
A couple of Lancia Stratos books that I found very interesting Lancia Stratos (Rally Giants Series) and Lancia Stratos, 1972-85 (Brooklands Books Road Tests Series)
.
I never thought I would see one of these little one seater cars running around largely due to their obscene price tag (£27k+), but the other day in Auckland I did. This was a photo I quickly snapped of it on Victoria Street outside the Sky Tower.
This little car has been loved by reviewers for its ability to be driven like a car but still give you the fun of banking into turns like a motorcycle. Some day I hope to take one for a test drive and experience it for myself.
Visit the official website for more info and take a look on Youtube for video reviews of which there are many.
Lancia Fulvia HF
I spotted this wonderful Italian rally car whilst I was on our Honeymoon and visiting Amsterdam. I am a big fan of the Lancia rally cars including the Fulvia pictured here, Stratos, 037, Delta S4 and Delta HF Integrale.
Some interesting reading on the HF in Lancia Fulvia HF and Lancia Fulvia Gold Portfolio, 1963-76 (Gold Portfolio)
. I am so tempted to get myself a scale model like this though:
