Title: Perfect day for a run out Post by: HBG on 18 November, 2023, 07:14:04 AM Off to see if there's coffee at Bicester Heritage.

Reminds me of the pleasure of driving my Fulvia in the rain, and is a pretext for the attached photo. This was Castle Combe track-day in 1998, photo by J. Gaisford, the CC photographer who probably has copyright.

The small Italian front number plate is fantastic and makes all the difference.

Night time driving in the rain was not helped by having such large vehicles on the road behind you (this was a typical car park). They breed them big, up North....

Fulvia, berlinas and coupés, are the Goldilocks of cars, neither one extreme or the other, and useable in all circumstances. They are the ideal day to day car in my opinion, and I cannot for one moment think why one would worry about driving in the rain.
