Dude, awesome car! From one AWD car to another, it looks incredible. Any pictures with that strut brace installed? What did it do to the feel of the car?

Thanks!

As I said I've been on the lazy side so unfortunately I haven't installed it yet. images/smilies/smile.gif But I'll let you know once I have. I don't expect any real big difference in everyday driving but I'm hoping for some improvement on track and slalom courses.

Went to the annual "Automobil Classic Car Show" which is arragned by a car magazine every year at Rosersborg castle. Went with a couple of other Lancia nuts. The show features everything from new to old and ordinary to extraordinary.

Quick meet up with the guys in a parking lot to make sure we arrive together images/smilies/smile.gif Btw.: The Montecarlo Coupe was an original factory car used to promote the launch of the car in America in the seventies. Together with 2 other cars it ran through Mexico along an old racing route in some kind of endurance test. The condition of the car was absolutely stunning. images/smilies/ohmy.gif It looked as it just had rolled out from the factory. Everything was perfect.

Also got a close of this engine bay + rest of car including a engine start-up and some serious V8 growl.

DeTomaso Pantera with a BMW V8. Note how the injectors are located above the carburetors. The engine sounded awesome!

A beautiful sight! How is the Delta population in Sweden? I would think its a pretty rare car.

It used to be extremely rare. Maybe 5 - 10 cars or something like that. But some years ago importing cars into the country got easier because of some EU rule. We made some research in the fall of 2006 with help from the Swedish equivalent of the DMV and at that point there were 169 Integrale (HF4WD included) in the country. So were moving in the 170ish - 180ish area by now I guess.
