THe Lane Motor Museum has been gracious enough to allow me to bring their Lancia Delta Integrale to the FFO this year. I delivered the Multipla to the museum last week and picked up the Integrale. Fun car! This historic car reminds me of a VW Rabbit on steroids.
I hope to spread the word about what a great place the Lane Motor Museum is. Only they would turn a historic gem like this out to be driven as intended to a show. This car is not a show car but is instead, a real driver.

What's the FFO?
I haven't been to Lane yet and I've lived about 2 hours away from it for the past year and even worse have made 6 or 7 trips to Nashville for other things in that time.

I am sorry, I should have explained that better. The FFO is FLU's national convention/car show. It is called the Fiat FreakOut and is being held in Asheville, NC this year. Check out www.flu.org for more info. It is a fun event that attracts all sorts of Italian cars.
The Lane Motor Museum is a MUST see for anyone spending time near Nashville. None of the velvet ropes or "display only" stuff here. Most of the cars are running, driving cars that get exercise on a regular basis by the Lane staff. I am fortunate enough to have been allowed to help with the exercise this year.

check it out! Better yet, go there in person.
you make me jealous. I drove an Delta HF for two years during my time in Italy and it was a blast to drive, and had looks to kill for.
The only complaint with that car was the electrical gremlins, which made my Triumph GT6 look electrically-perfect in comparison :D
Strangely enough the Integrale I just sold was surprisingly free of electrical gremlins (apart from the radio draining the battery when as it had been wired wrong).

I snapped this last night in my basement garage. The Integrale is keeping my other cars company.
Yep, Lane is cool. I sent a friend there--she has worked in museums her whole professional career but doesn't own a car. She dug it.
