    Dino,

    Cool car! Have you had the chance to drive the new Abarth's?

    The Triumph is sorely in need of a 'bumperectomy'!

    Not yet, they have not made it into dealers yet (at least over here).

    Being all original and only 22k miles, I haven't touched it.

    It's amazing how tiny the Spitfire looks next to what is now one of the, if not THE smallest car available in the US.

    I've got a 73 MG Midget and it is comical to see it parked next to a modern, full-size pickup or SUV. It literally looks like it would fit in the back, with room to spare for a few groceries!

    Seriously. The Fiat looks like an SUV compared to the Triumph.

    Thanks! I have always liked the Grigorio color on Ferrari so when I saw it available for the Fiat, it was a no brainer. No, not huge on apps. Although seems like an interesting app.

    So true lol, but it doesn't help that the Triumph nearly sits on the ground.

    Very nice! I love those wheels with the red rings.

    If that were a Ferrari, they would have charged you $1500 just for the red calipers!

    I have a Punto from 1996 :)

    Have reached 280.000km now. Not ONE SINGLE engine problem since it was "born".

    But there are enough problems with rust in the bottom now. Sadly because I am sure it could go for another 100k without engine problems.

    Yeah they did a great job on the wheel design also.

    It makes most cars feel like SUVs, and SUVs like monster trucks.

    That's good to hear, other than the rust part. I know many in Europe with Fiats and only a few with minor issues.
