My super-exotic. Please do not touch. 1958 Fiat 600 Multipla. Picture taken years ago, but I still have it. |

This was late at night and it was cool outside. I do remember that the windshield was hard to keep demisted. |

Did you find that the car ran hot in the cabin and the air was a mouse breathing on a ice cube? |

Nicer in real life than in photos. As I remember you could see the engine under the rear glass like in a 360. |

I drove an EB110 once from Monte Carlo to Cannes. Found out two things. Like Matt said power was too on/off for my taste and if you have to throw up opening the door rather than trying to use the small window is a better idea. Glad it was her car not mine and she was the one who had had too much Kristal... |

It was at the dealer where I got my 308 from. I got to take it for a test drive. It was Silver. It's on their website. http://www.symbolicmotors.com |

DES, I am serious. It was a 1994. Before you get carried away. It was only for about ten minutes on Wilshire Blvd. It was hard to see out of, it was hot, and the clutch was stiff. It wanted to stall every chance it had. When I did get it up to speed, the Turbo's kicked in and the back wanted to slide out. Not a city car, that's for sure. I can send you pics' of the car on Tuesday. |

No, no job change (although some days i consider it, strongly)... Bruce is a nice guy, like most of the people here... i look forward to events and stuff like that, so i can meet everyone... (although, i'm not too sure everyone here feels the same way )... Until then, though, i'll keep stalking some of you- you know who you are.  |

If i thought my boss wouldn't flip over it, i'd go to the office now and do it. It was nice talking to you, as well, your call was a welcomed surprise... Getting there on time, well... there's a better chance of me walking outside tomorrow morning (when i DO get up) and seeing a red F50 parked where my car should be...  |

I know we have a few F40 owners, a XJ220 owner, but has anyone on the board owned or currently own something they'd consider a super-exotic? |
