Hello Ruud, I thought Discovery Real Time is now the main Discovery channel (used to be called Home&Leisure?) so I am surprised you don't have it. The credits at the end of the programme said "Attaboy TV production for Discovery Channel Europe" so I suppose it's meant for pan-European (but not USA) transmission. Then again it's clearly a UK based programme with visits to and reviews of UK based museums and classic car events so maybe it's for UK showing only. I will, of course, be taping episode 8 with the Gamma and I can send you a copy. It's going to be one of the short two-minute reports with voice-over rather than the full 10-minute reports. For those of you who have seen the programme, it will be similar to the report on the Fiat 124 Spider. The 124 Spider (belonging to Fiat Motor Club (GB) member Jason Gibson) was filmed at the same airfield as my Gamma the previous day. The Dutch "Cars & Bikes" programme which included the Gamma had a much more in-depth report. And Ruud, I was very impressed with your TV presentation skills! You should take it up as a full-time job! It's a shame I couldn't understand anything you were saying but I got the gist of it "Lancia Gamma is Fantastic!”
