To get a bit more power when climbing alpine passes - there are quite a few descriptions in literature of more pedestrian cars climbing slowly up, and being overtaken by a roaring Lambda!!
- Yes, in this month's VL!

First class rally as always - our favorite of the year although Fulvia 50 runs it close this year.
For us the rally started on the Wednesday when John Millham and Chris Hopkins (Augusta) and Aussies Bill Jameson and Kim Brownbill (John's Lambda) arrived to over night with us before setting off for Dover early on the Thursday morning. Fun evening spent eating, drinking, talking Lancia, time in the workshop and watching the Steady Barker DVD, 'Holding Steady' celebrating his 90th birthday which contains some lovely shots of Modestine on an SP Rally.
Dover for the 10.15 ferry to Calais and meet up with Mike and Cin Wheeler in the March Augusta. Managed to get a tad off the planned route through northern France and inevitably got separated. However, incredibly we all arrived at the overnight stop at Charleville M within 5 minutes of each other! Another fun evening spent in the nearby Buffalo Grill.
On to the fabulous rally headquarters in the Chateau Fort of Sedan for three days and nights of pure Sliding Pillar magic with lots of local history and culture thrown in for good measure.
Many, many thanks to Edward, Jan and Andrew for a superb event - next year Eastbourne, ummmm... 20 miles from home!
The journey back across France was going well until 100 miles short of Calais the clutch fell apart (see Modestine thread) and once again we finished a journey courtesy of the recovery service. Hey ho!

At least it was on the way back...
There must have been a good fuel saving

Oh dear....many miles on the clutch, or something else related which led to the failure?
Spotted your answer to my question, these things happen and not its been repaired with a better quality item

yes David, that's the one saving grace of returning home on a recovery truck. Worth thick end of £100 on this occasion!
