This building used to be Wesson Auto Parts. My grandfather, Ben Adams ran it for years and it pretty much died with him in 1986. I can still imagine it's smell and see all the cars in the bank in my mind. I was driving back up to Jackson tonight and decided to stop by to manual the pad out front. I think Ben would have dug skateboarding. I'm sure he took some diggers when he raced. I don't mind running into concrete either.

Rented in Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy.
Lancias have real cool design. Last time in Italy we had a Lancia Ypsilon and loved it, so when they asked us to choose between Fiat and Lancia we didn't even let them finish the phrase :-)
Only problem is, this car is probably too big for Lancia mechanics. It's a diesel with no turbo, so getting up to the local speed limit (130 km/h) takes quite a while, making it a bit scary when you're trying to get onto the highway. I'm sure they have better models, though... we always rent cheap O:-)
Anyway, we gave the car a good spin (1000+ km in two days) with no problems at all.
Incidentally, this time we were arriving on a Saturday evening, and all the offices for the companies we usually use (National and Avis) were supposed to be closed at that time (in the end they were open, though), so we reserved this car through a broker named Nova Car Hire whose database did find an open office.
Verdict: Thumbs up for both Nova Car Hire and Auto Europa. :-)

Here's the complete car, quite a long way from the Audis of today. Auto Union did have quite a racing history but I don't think they used a Woody like this! Audi’s interlinked four rings actually stand for the four German car manufacturers which merged together to form Auto Union in 1932.
