Hi all, I'm currently in the process of teaching (not brainwashing or anything, honest  ) my 1 year old that Lancias are the best cars and he absolutely loves them. Cannot walk past mine in the garage /driveway without pointing / touching the Lancia badges on the grilles and wheels. Anyway, I'm currently preparing his bedroom and thought it would be cool to wall mount a Dedra Turbo steering wheel I had, at his height so he can play with it. I used some bicycle bottom bracket bearing rings and created this! Spins real nice and smooth and he can't get enough of pretending to drive with it. Just a thought for those with little ones  |

That's a great idea Roberto! You can never start them too young! Here's my three and a half year old grandson at last year's National Rally.

Absolutely - have to start them young!! That's amazing, great photos of you and your grandson, precious memories. That ride on car is an impressive bit of kit too, mine would be jealous for sure |

Nice memories ......
It reminded me to look out for a photo of our daughter at 6 months old (her christian names are Mathilda Aurelia) - David Laver made a lovely wooden model
So this evening Mathilda recreated the photo - she's 18 next month !

I did something similar with my kids... although perhaps I should have let them behind the wheel as well |

A few years ago, another approach, getting my girls familiar with the body curves of my B20.

Looks like your kids all hold great memories growing up around Lancias, let's keep it going! |
