The whole car-freak thing seems like an all-XY-chromosome deal sometimes, but it's just not so; here's an all-women car club that roars across the East Bay landscape in a fleet of temperamental spirited Italian, French, and German vintage cars (plus a couple of Detroit products), blasting a few stereotypes in the process. The Pedal Pushers had an Oakland-to-Port Costa rally a couple weeks back, and TheEastBayKid was there with his '76 BMW 2002 and camera to get some shots for us.

No dreamworld Quattroporte versus SM here; instead it's a pair of cars that don't cost all that much and can even be driven... straight to Hell (i.e., your garage). Most Americans have never heard of the Autobianchi A112 , which is why we're providing the quick lesson in the video above. The little Lancia/Autobianchi/Fiat (mechanically similar to the Fiat 127) wasn't sold in the US of A, but it's worshiped as a classic rally-winning hoonmobile over there in Yurp. And now a A112 could live in your garage, simply by handing over $7,950 to the seller of this '79...
