Harry’s Garage

Harry at Geneva. Plenty of cars and industry news in this video that I didn't see else where.

Just got round to watching this. Who am I to question the great Lord M, but I'm fairly sure that's not how you pronounce "valkyrie".

Alfa girl....

Sorry back on topic, that Aurus Senat I've seen testing out in Russia and it's had an seriously extended gestation for something that (very deliberately) looks like a Phantom and maybe has a fair bit of Phantom underneath.

They get away with it because the Senat is the official Russian presidential limousine, and you don't take away Vlad's toys under any circumstance.

Watched his latest one last night. If his constant wanking over the project 8 annoys you, it's probably best to avoid it. It's the worst one yet .

So my initial response "oh will you get to fuck with that godawful fucking Project 8 cuntwagon that you won't stop incessantly wanking over" could be described as "on target" then

[integrale_evo]

A limited run car car costing more than twice as much as a bog standard mass produced one being more communicative and a little quicker shocker.

A quad plus some coilovers, a remap and some stiffer bushes would still leave you £80k for another plaything. You could even spend £200 for a shit wing off eBay to glue on the back.

I still love the Project 8. Esp in purple with gold wheels. More because you lot hate it in fact

[ZedLeg]

I don't hate it, Harry's constant IT'S THE BEST CAR EVA!!!111!!11!!!!!1111 patter is pretty dumb though.

Purple's fine, gold wheels aren't brilliant but the silver Jaguar outline on the side is fucking awful. Nearly as bad as the wing. And Harry, it's not an excuse to say it's functional; it could be functional and styled to look much less Max Power.

Esp in purple with gold wheels.

This bit is good, the rest of it is awful and I REALLY want Harry, who I normally fawn over, to stop going on about it!

Have they still got a load they can't sell or something?

They’ve proposed the classic “one make race series” to shift them.

[speedingfine]

New car, with a crazy story

[NotoriousREV]

Have they still got a load they can't sell or something?

Are you suggesting that trying to sell a tarted up not-as-good-as-BMW small saloon car for a 6 figure sum is proving difficult?

Liked that Lancia video, cool car and a great story. Managed to do a video without mentioning the project 8 once as well .

All of this That story was lovely wasn't it. I really hope he now restores the car to the colour it should be to box off the whole history.

Also considering it's a 1972 car, a lot of things were impressive:

1. Discs all round with 4-pots up front;
2. Electric windows;
3. That super-cool electric rear hatch;
4. The performance - 120 mph and 8.5 seconds is not shabby at all!
5. 5-speed 'box.

Really rather nice.

[ZedLeg]

I wonder if he still has the Kappa he had to buy along with it.

[integrale_evo]

They are cool cars, there's a lancia specialist near here and quite often see a red one zipping about.

I knew they had a v4, but had no idea it was a vw VR style tight angle single head design, then canted over to one side. I just assumed they were a traditional upright open V. Engine had loads of character, sounded pretty awful at low speed but lovely at full chat

I might have missed it in the story, but how does he know that was the car he saw as a lad? The garage only ever registered one and none others from anywhere else could possible have passed the area

Fair point, and I was thinking the same. I then thought if he wants it be the same one that much, then let him have this one.

I'm guessing he checked and sawthat the guy's name was mentioned in the car's documents?
