That Lancia! Holy crap, it looks better than it probably did when it rolled off the production line!

FACT! The only thing I could find on that car that might need attention is a slightly faded indicator lamp.

As is mentioned above, it's worth between 35 and 40k Euros.

220bhp from a 2.0 Turbo and 4wd was fairly big news back then!

Got a spin in Donach's Fiesta ST.

The first thing I noticed is that the suspension feels very good in this. It feels very planted. Then the noise it makes! It sounds absolutely brilliant! Surprisingly torquey for a 1.6 and it would leave my GTI definitely.

Thanks Darren, the Fiesta is a mad little machine, the noise is addictive and it handles like a go cart.

I was very impressed with the GTi too, it's like a new car.

The C&C Meet that will be held this Sunday will be a little different. As the Cannonball Run will be in town, a convoy will be leaving from the usual C&C meeting place in the carpark at Dunnes Stores in Briarhill at 10:30am.

We will be heading to the Galway Plaza at Kiltullagh just off the M6. The Cannonball cars will be there until 12:30pm.

As usual, all car enthuasiasts are welcome to come along.
