![]() ![]() If a new, fourth owner should be found in Monterey, he or she will receive all original books and documents including a letter from factory test driver and rally team director Giorgio Pianta regarding the modifications carried out in the factory before the first delivery. To date, this Lancia Rally 037 Stradale has covered just under 6,600 kilometers on public roads with its three previous owners. The radiator on the new front subframe came from the Evo 1 rally version, the brakes from the Evo 2. In order to keep up with the higher performance, 0057 received a stronger clutch and extra hardened gears. ![]() On the factory test bench, this engine achieved 252 hp. Because of this, Abarth installed an upgrade to the Corsa specification to this vehicle, with an increase in displacement to 2.1 liters, a special crankshaft, modified pistons and connecting rods, a larger cylinder head with larger valves and a rally camshaft. Gianetti in Turin developed and supplied various suspension and engine parts for the Lancia Rally 037. Painted in the typical color ‘Rosso Corsa’ this car originally belonged to Giancarlo Gianetti, whose company L.M. So it’s not surprising that the car with the chassis number 0057, which we show in our picture gallery, has expected hammer price between US$ 475,000 and US$ 600,000 when it is auctioned by RM Sotheby’s at the end of the week during the Monterey Car Week. Of course especially those works cars with rally history reach high prices, but also the value of the Stradale version increases noticeably. Today, the few well-preserved Lancia Rally 037 are sought-after collector’s items. Had Walter attached more importance to the title, he would have been able to win his third as a driver after 1980 (with Opel) and 1982 (with Fiat), but he didn’t and so he skipped some rally events of that year. It was not until 1983 that Lancia entered the full World Championship with Walter Röhrl and Markku Alén winning the Constructors’ World Championship. The official homologation took place in April 1982, followed by several test runs in the same year. Lancia produced a total of 200 road vehicles, 17 rally cars of the original version and 20 rally cars each in stages Evolution 1 and Evolution 2. For power transmission, the same ZF five-speed gearbox was used, which could also be found in the De Tomaso Pantera. In the road version required by the regulations it was 151 kW/205 hp, the rally version started with at least 228 kW/310 hp. Behind the passengers, a two-liter four-cylinder engine from the Fiat 131 Abarth was installed, which was given more power by means of a Roots-like Volumex supercharger. Thanks to double shock absorbers on each wheel and the use of only two different bolt sizes on all major components, which enabled faster service maintenance, was made for rally use. Together with Abarth and Pininfarina, an extraordinary mid-engined car was created on the basis of the passenger cell of the Lancia Beta Montecarlo with bolted subframes at the front and rear as the ‘Abarth Project SE037′. ![]() The development of the 037 began shortly after the new regulations were announced. In addition the story fits that the Fiat Group particularly ordered some lorries with road salt from Italy for the Rallye Monte Carlo 1983 to clear the mountain passes, whereby on the following day suddenly dry asphalt roads were to be found and the Lancias could win easily. At least on dry asphalt the powerful mid-engined sports car could hold a candle to the Audi quattro. The latter was one of the last successful rally cars without permanent four-wheel drive. Among the best known are the offshoots of the Audi quattro, the Peugeot 205 T16, the MG Metro 6R4, the Ford RS200 and, in addition to the Lancia Delta S4, its predecessor, the Lancia Rally 037. The rally monsters of the Group B era, on the other hand, are known to this day and are revered wherever an opportunity arises. However, only Porsche with the 961 based on the 959 and Ferrari with the 288 GTO seriously pursued this section of the regulations and therefore ultimately dropped it. In addition, according to similar regulations, circuit vehicles should also be created for the sports car championship. In the summer of 1979, the FIA as the highest motorsports authority, announced the rules of the so-called Group B, according to which sporting GTs, sports saloons and compact cars were to compete in the World Rally Championship from 1982 onwards, provided at least 200 units were sold as street versions. ![]()

In 2003, Mercedes-Benz added the C 180 Kompressor, followed by the C 200 compressor in 2003-2007 (187 hp), and finally the C 160 Kompressor in 2005. Initial engine options comprised the C 180 (139 PS), C220 (143 PS), C 200 Kompressor, and C 230 Kompressor. The newer 1.8-litre was less powerful but smoother and more efficient than the older 2.3-litre engine 141 kW (192 PS) compared to 142 kW (193 PS). The C 230 Kompressor variant sported 142 kW (190 hp). All of them used the same 1.8-litre engine, with different designations according to horsepower levels, including a version powered by natural gas. In 2002 for the 2003 model year, a new family of supercharged four cylinder engines, dubbed M271, debuted for the entire C-Class range.

When you consider how lightweight ChromeOS is that’s pretty amazing. Being able to edit PDFs without the need for third-party software is excellent. More PDF functionality is on the wayĪll of these improvements make it much easier to edit and view PDFs on your Chromebook. It of course helped that I was using my Asus CX5 Chromebook and Logitech Stylus, which meant I could sign the contract without printing any paperwork.

This isn’t about the company saving money on postage, which is obviously an advantage. If you’re lucky enough to be offered a job you’re then usually sent the contract and other important paperwork to complete by email.

The thing is, this marketing tactic could then propel that product ahead on TikTok, because it’ll encourage people to create their own content on TikTok. I believe that consumers will absolutely buy a product if they see “as soon on TikTok” or “TikTok-viral” signage, regardless of whether that thing is actually viral on TikTok. Someone who’s aspirationally wanting to be cool will see that on a rack or in an email and immediately want to know more about it.” ![]() “The product doesn’t have to be viral you can fake it a bit. “We’re using ‘as seen on TikTok’ to pull shoppers onto our site,” said a beauty brand’s head of integrated marketing, speaking off the record. “As seen on TikTok” is a new in-store flex. Glossy also points out that staying ahead is also important from a relevance perspective if you’re a creator (or brand on TikTok), since tapping into TikTok trends “results in popularity via likes, follows, and other engagement.” Ah, to be a cog in TikTok’s machine. I absolutely feel this I’m going to be traveling for the next few weeks - a mix of work and fun - and figuring out how to sufficiently relax while also “keeping up” has been top of mind. They say “there’s a common understanding that daily scrolling sessions on the platform keep one in the conversation,” and that taking a break means falling out of “the know,” including on the hashtags, sounds, and references of the moment. The difference is that teenagers’ peers used to exist within the hallways of their schools, and now their peers are…everyone on social media. Young people have literally always been the case with teens - they want to wear what their peers have deemed cool. ![]() There’s a prevailing theory that TikTok - the platform - is spawning trends at a rapid-fire pace, causing young people to turn into rabid consumers, discarding what was trending last week and trading up for what’s trending this week. The top takeaway they shared is that Gen Z’s reputation for “prioritizing individuality and self-expression is overblown,” and that “like every other generation before them, many of today’s teens and twenty-somethings just want in on what’s trending.” They say this is largely because of TikTok, which I only kind of agree with. Fortunately for myself and everyone else whose “invitations got lost in the mail,” they shared a recap with a bunch of pretty interesting insights about Gen Z consumers.

To help you dig out of the evening drink cycle, let's look at a few of our favorite happy hour cocktails and see how to transform them into something new without getting too wild and crazy.Īre you the one who sits down at the bar and orders up a refreshing Gin & Tonic after work? Maybe you're more of a Vodka Tonic enthusiast? These are great drinks that are instant feel-good highballs which many drinkers enjoy after a long, hard day. The routine of a fast and easy drink can become boring at times, and it can be a challenge to escape this habit. A simple pour of liquor and mixer, these are the cocktails we love when happy hour comes around.Īnd yet, it is far too easy to get stuck in a drink rut. Some of our favorite after-work drinks are the simplest, those easy mixed drinks that come together in seconds, not minutes. No, we're often too tired and worn out from the day to put any effort into much of anything. This isn't the time for fancy cocktails with hard-to-find ingredients. Many drinkers prefer to keep the drinks simple during happy hour. Beyond the cash you'll save, you can also take advantage of controlling your own drinks. While the drink specials are designed to lure you in (and hopefully stay after they end), you'll often find that you can save even more money by making drinks at home. Though that is where those few hours in the afternoon and late evening get their name, there is no reason you can't enjoy a happy hour at home or with a few friends in a more private atmosphere. Happy hour is not reserved for drink specials at the local bar. ![]() ![]() ![]() NOSS specializes in remote support technology, using equipment tailored to each person's needs to achieve individualized support.

In 2019 over 500 million coins were released into circulation, including three new 50 pence designs celebrating Arthur Conon Doyle’s iconic Sherlock Holmes, and Paddington the Bear at St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London.
