Looks like I did a deal yesterday to part with the 'Grale. I have said previously you dont really own your 'grale, you just make sure you look after it until the next lucky person takes custody of her.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the car. Unlike many dreams and legends, she did not disappoint the young lad within me who lusted after one all those years ago. I will never tire of regarding that gorgeous tan leather Recaro interior and those yellow on black veglia dials as one of the most charismatic places for a driver to sit in a road car.

I cant think of anything worthwhile to say as regards what happens when the road gets wet and you are in an Integrale. Ive already spoken of my awe about this before and all I can say is that awe remains undiminished.

Lastly Id also like to say what a cracking little corner of ph this forum is. Everybody is friendly, there are seemingly no idiots on here, very few disagreements or arguments and a bunch of very helpful and interesting geeks and I say that as a fully paid up member of the Lancia geek club smile it has been a pleasure knocking about with you and if anyone finds a suitable road going S4 and points me in its direction then my wife will kill you smile

Don't let previous history put you off... smile

Ironically enough, it was when that car was for sale at Walkers, that I first found out that road going S4s actually existed and made it into this country because it was a link I came across on google!

Tis a small world smile

Matt...in a cpl of weeks hopefully, but she is "resting" up in the garage now till the sale apart from sorting a slow puncture. Im letting the train take the strain these days smile

No..its good! Anyway, the 'Grale should have had the slow puncture sorted by next weekend. Ill take you out in my final drive of it to ensure the wheel/tyre is all sorted.
