Enjoy the new ride

Yes, 944, 964, Monster and now Fulvia. Single bike so far, yes.
Sounds impressive, but it's mostly down to my luck, not having to pay for a rent and such.

Too bad it's in german and I can't understand shit, especially as most controls are VERY complicate to operate... kinda remember me that TVR bit in TG where they promised they would give the car away to the guy able to turn it on or something.

After two days I still have no clue how to get cold or hot air from the vents for instance, and the fact the owner manual lists a 5 steps procedure for it, doesn't help. i'll download the italian version...

Congratulations!

The Fulvia is a great little car.
For a long time, Lancia was run by inspired engineers, and not by the bean counters. This resulted in technically innovative and well engineered cars (apparently, Lancia used to put a layer of copper on the bolts to avoid them stick due to corrosion). Unfortunately, Lancia's financial state was rarely very good, and in the seventies, they were bought by Fiat. Many people believe that the Fulvia was the last real Lancia.

The Fulvia is front wheel drive. How does it turn in? Is it understeered?

When I grow up (I'm just 35), I'd like to have an Aurelia GT.

Yeh, I was told about those bolts, and also about different ways to craft them, depending on the charges they had to withstand.

The Fulvia is indeed FF and also, when you say "Front", talking about the engine, it is really in the front, just sqashed against the radiator basically.

I didn't push really hard yet, but despite the FF layout and skinny tires, it definitely doesn't have major understeer, and you can feel even at moderate speed, a lively backend (very light).
