I stood in for Sandro at the farewell for the Stratos, and know a little about the car, having given it it's only forest rally win. Can you send me a bigger version of the decal, as I cannot read or enlarge the one on this website. I can ask the question for you if I know what I am asking.

Thanks for the directions! I don't do faceberk either, but I'm sure I can get a teenager to show me!

Andy - thanks for showing an interest. Respect! I'm following up a request on Stratossupersite forumI'm sure you'd be welcome on there for a trip down memory lane! Unfortunately that's the clearest picture of the decal we've got. Hopefully someone will recognise the shape/layout of the logo.

Thanks for the invite to your forum, pity it keeps spitting me out, clearly I'm not a Stratos person - the car is for sale!!!

It might be worth pointing PHer Blib in the direction of this thread - he's a Stratos nut.

  • sigh* Sandro Munari, Stratos, pissing it down, dawnish highlight, foggy...A HOWLING PIERCING SHRIEK, SIDEWAYS, GRAVEL...a departing echo as some tailights flicker out of sight again...

Hands up anyone who has those memories locked in a Grizedale or Kielder memory bank?

djc - i got similar memories of keilder, grizedale etc from the good old days of a 5 day long lombard rac rally. cold, wet november evenings in bloody miserable forests. waiting.... & then you hear the noise of a quattro bouncing off the tree's, the turbo whistling. & then mikkola, or mouton, or waldegard appears. sideways, flame spitting out of the exhausts.

followed by a strato, a 205t16, a delta s4. the list goes on.

god, how i miss those halcyon days of rallying. we should bring them back. sod the current 2 day 'stroll' around wales. i would love tohe lombard to be brought back to life. mickey mouse, but entertaining, sunday spectator stages & then out into the wilds of the uk. happy days.
