There's something VERY telling about what the critics of the automotive industry buy and drive. A lot of the time you'll hear a conversation go something like this:
"Oh, yeah! Car 'X' is great but I'd NEVER buy it!"
Well, we like to put our money where our mouth is. But very few publications actually follow suit. That's why I LOVE Harry Metcalfe. Think of him as Jeremy Clarkson just less of an entertainer, more of a car guy and much, much more articulate. He's not putting on a show, he's just a straight shooter.
Metcalfe is the guy behind Evo Magazine based in the U.K. and was the gent who sold his Pagani Zonda not too long ago. To say he knows a thing or two would be an understatement.
So when I recently found this clip of his latest acquisition, I KNEW I had to 1) watch it, and 2) share it with you.
Metcalfe just picked up a screamin' yellow Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II and to hear about this unique vehicle's qualities are just fascinating. My favorite bit is when he speaks about the 1980s, less-than-stellar interior and the way he analogizes it.
Before there was the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, this was the car.
Check out the clip, it's well worth a watch...
