There weren't 100% of cars with their lights on this afternoon
Black may totally black , rain lashing down (double wipers barely coping) and water covering entire carriageway in Hatfield and in places right through to just short of Edenthorpe and STILL there were at least 10 cars with not even sidelights on
We need Florida rule Wipers on Lights ON

My Giulia Veloce is Misano Blue. I've had it nearly six years now which is far longer than any other car I've owned and I still absolutely love it.

Someone, somewhere around where I live has a yellow one. I occasionally see it, love the aggressive styling, the ultimate hot hatch.
If I won the lottery there is a company in Italy building replica Lancia 037s, with Ferrari running gear. They cost an absolute fortune.

For a while I worked in an office in Holland Park. Someone had parked a lovely Lancia Fulvia on the street nearby. It never seemed to move, shook my head every time I walked past it.
-
There's a Fulvia sat in a yard in Wootton Bassett that's just aching to be rescued....
I would, but I've already got 2 Busso engined Alfas and another, sadly mega expensive, car. The Fulvia would be a car too far.
