Classic & Sports Car February 2008

Today received the FEBRUARY edition of C&SC! They seem to get earlier and earlier.

However strange it is to get February's in December there is good LANCIA content.

Page 18 BEST CLUB MEETS mention of Lancia in the Piazza with photo.

Page 21 Martin Buckley's Best Event Lancia in the Piazza.

Page 37 Martin Buckley's column full page with photos on Lancia and the return to UK.

Good coverage for LMC but why raise the red herring of pre/post FIAT and the "R" word in connection with Betas.

If journalists who are broadly pro Lancia keep rehashing the old myths what hope is there that the general motoring press will give the new cars a fair assessment without using the "R" word every time?

I hope FIAT/LANCIA PR department are properly breifed and prepared to answer the enevitable questions.

I suppose we should be used to it by now.

A friend just had half his Merc resprayed due to r*st.  It was at Mercs expense so its new enough still to be under guarentee - late 90s at the oldest.  Now THAT'S a 'r' scandle....
