A112 ABARTH : Our old little car. |
Our old little car had a
great big past: it was driven by some good pilots like Piero
Longhi in the 80's italian autocross championship. Its engine is
the 956 c.c. Abarth, shorter gear box and all racing modifications
made by the great mechanic Vicario in Borgomanero (No),Italy. But these pictures are about what there is not anymore. So I think it is nice to dedicate this part of the site to what gave us great times and fun and a looot of work. Make it work was a challenge ( Pictures are not so good but I think they gave you the idea of what it could do.(Sig!)

There was a lot of work for everyone anytime we went to the track and pictures sign it. At the top you can see

said, but after that we had to pension off the car because the top of
the car itself was resting upon the roll bar.(SIG!). For the ones who
want to know how he (do not) drives properly here is a

dedicated to The Destroyer. Nek never turned back when there was to
ruin something but the car never broke and leave us on the ground. For
example:
- Some
pictures of the time we decided to use the car on the snow but The Earl
crashed on a wall with the right part of the car ruined. Some spray paint and
some work made by an hammer and it returned newer than it was.

- One time the cluch broke. We countinued running on the track by
pushing the car on starting it like during olimpic bob races. Afther
we changed the cluch on my grand mother field in a nice wood were we
carried the car. - One time an "expert" adviced us to connect a tube that came near the carburator that was left on its own. It was the return to the fuel tank that the mechanic left unconnected because it was not useful. But we connected it anyway and we found after few laps the cockpit full of fuel. Very dangerous. Next time we bought an extingusher. - And so on.... |
