Hi Marc,
Welcome to the forum. When you have a chance please tell us a little about your involvement with Fiat/Lancias. And it looks like you are a Porsche fan also? I am as well (among other makes).
Gents;
Thanks for the replies... I figured they were called "Daytonas" but didn't know the CD # for them.
Back in the late 80's, I had a neighbor who moved down to GA from Michigan with his dad. We became good friends riding all kinds of bikes (BMX, road bikes, mountain bikes, etc.), and he was really into cars.
I was 16 at the time, he was about 10 yrs. older... so I kind of looked up to him as a big brother.
He had a rusted out Ford Econoline van that we hauled bikes to go to trails and stuff... loved that old van. I still remember the name we gave it: The Rust Mobile. It was from Michigan after all. Our "gang" put skateboard/BMX stickers all over it to mask the rust holes. He also had a red X 1/9 (I can't recall the year), but it was hell of a fun driving car with your ass about 6" off the pavement.
One day he shows up with a '76 silver Lancia Scorpion and I was taken back by seeing something for the first time. Sure, I've seen PCars, Ferraris and Lambos in magazines/TV and stuff, but NEVER a Lancia. Oh, and his dad had his company car and an Alfa Spider Veloce (forgot the year as well). All my friends would gather around looking at these "strange" cars, and they would actually let us drive them around a bit.... we lived in a small town in GA and as you'd imagine, things were much more relaxed back then.
Many decades later, I still have fond memories of my friend (who moved back up to MI) and all the great times I had as a kid growing up in smalltown, USA.
Now my modest little car collection consists of few Lancias (2x '76 Scorpions, 1x 82 Beta Zagato, 1x Alfa Spider Quad, few PCars, few old MB diesels, and few more)... I love older cars for the memories they bring me!!
Hoping to acquire a good driver X1/9 soon and reminice the days of driving that rusted out, red X1/9 my friend had! Thanks guys...
