Title: Hello from Turin! Post by: SpeedAl on May 13, 2016, 10:47:02 AM Hi all, Alberto here from Turin ;)
Born on a Fulvia, raised on several Fiats and Citroen , I was driving some Vw, Opel and BMW too until 2001, the year I bought my first Classic: A 1971 Fulvia 1,3S coupè like my dad's when I was born. Then in 2013 it was time to add a second Lancia to the Stable, and it was a quite pristine (but still fairly mad...) 1984 Gamma Coupè 2000 (the tax friendly version for Italy). After my first British car in late 2014 (a 1992 Mini Cooper Spi) I finally bought a 1979 1,6 ltr HPE for last Christmas, quite enjoyed by our very Thotos during GammaQuaranta (well, Gilbert didn't do it till here >:( ...) Still some things to Fix in the HPE, but it's a reliable and fun drive, that sometimes I alternate even for commuting to work to my everyday Skoda Octavia RS... Title: Re: Hello from Turin!

Hope to see you and the HPE at next year's Betameeta ;) Nice 131 Racing in the photo above!

It looked and was very good then so must be perfect now! :D Title: Re: Hello from Turin! Post by: thecolonel on August 14, 2016, 12:03:41 AM Ah Turin 😃

In my humble opinion, the 1600 is a much greater engine than the 2000,being square [bore and stroke the same] therefore much smoother. I've owned both in the past and would always recommend the 1.6. Title: Re: Hello from Turin! Post by: hpe78 on March 07, 2017, 11:26:46 PM ciao alberto...
me too in turin and with a HPE! maybe we can meet for a coffe and a "to be fixed" list discussion ;)... you'll find my hpe in new members list as well gianni |
