video of the day. Fulvia!

I can’t understand anything—so here’s my take. A man goes and checks out a Lancia Fulvia HF!

most authentic F1 onboard footage around…

Jalopnik found this amazing footage of Bruno Senna holding a cell phone and taping him screwing around in his F1 car at SPA.  Totally unique video, gives a very different more chaotic interpretation of the feeling of being in an F1 car.  Bruno Senna is a superstar for making this and uploading it himself!

Wheeler Dealers: Lancia Fulvia

I was hoping for a full episode about the Fulvia, but this seems to be a short summary of the Fulvia and some advice on buying one.  I’m not a huge fan of the S2 headlights on this one, i’d much prefer the Series 1—-but i have heard/read that the Series 2 had some mechanical improvements so they may be onto something.  I am staggered by how cheap these sell for on the secondhand market in the UK.  Unfortunately here in the US, since the Fulvia was never officially sold, even raggedy 1.3s have sold for around $10k.  Good ones tend to reach higher into the $12-18k bracket.  I won’t get into the gory details of an amazing one that really slipped away from my own pawing hands several months ago….

pre-quattro.

so quattro Audis are simply sensational in inclement weather….and DAMN fun to screw around with in the snow…—but how did Audis do before quattro in the snow?  How much fun is it to screw around in the snow in a pre-quattro audi? well these people are making a bit of a mess with this pretty decent example of an Audi 100LS.

EDIT: it seems you can only watch this on youtube due to some copyright issues.

actual footage of the Alpine A110 Gendarmerie police car!

I’ve always seen that ‘famous’ photo of the Gendarmerie Alpine A110 with a cop standing at the side of the road—-however here is some actual footage and a short clip about the A110 Gendarmeriie—-there’s at least a couple of them in the video.  As a bonus, you get to ride on board a Citroen SM Gendarmerie!

total rock and roll.

one of THE sounds of racing.  the unbelievable 5-Cylinder Turbo from the Audi 90 IMSA GTO.

Trans-Am racing.

Can-Am and Trans-Am racing were easily THE glory days of american road racing.  Will american road racing ever get something as cool as this ever again? doubtful.  Look at the style of the public at those races, and look at the lively attendance.  As I type this, I am watching the Continental Sports Car Challenge on SpeedTV and thinking it may be the only descendent left of the original Trans-Am series; however there is hardly a crowd there, barely any enthusiasm, and lacking great drivers like the Trans-Am series had.  What a shame.

video of the day: weird 80s swedish man and his Urraco.

this video cracks me up…..but the sound of the Lamborghini Urraco is all types of wonderful.  Beautiful car too, one of my favourite 70s supercars.
