Is this true???

That is cute Spongey! I like Fiats, they are fun to drive. I haven't had a sporty one but have owned: two Tipos (a 1.4 petrol and a 1.9 turbo diesel), three Marea Weekends, (2 x 2.4TD and now a 1.8 petrol).

Enjoy yourself (and it doesn't look like a mid-life-crisis car to me.

My SIL had a Spyder but he didn't like it, now has a Morgan Aero 8, that's fun, I get to have a ride in it occasionally! Mind you he's nowhere near his MLC!

[MaureenHall]

I got one of these!!!!! Its Italian but as I have no Mrs Robinson (or cash) I didnt get a Spyder.
Aunty Mo, I shall be round to collect you for a spin with the roof down.
Wont be everyones cup of tea, but its mine!!

I'm so glad you didn't get a Spyder (my ex has one) and that car looks loverly I'll get me posh frock ready then shall I?

To be honest- just get what you fancy..the French will just say "Ah ze Inglish wiz their cars"

I have a black sports car which I've had for 8 years and really don't want to part with it. However I have a high risk of taking out the subframe or something equally expensive when travelling along country lanes and being pushed off the road by an on coming tractor- or little old farmer in the middle of the road

It does turn heads which I'm not used to ( blended in back home) ...and I'm worried to death of scraping underneath with the ferry ramps

Oooh, a "Barketta" - very nice. Liking your style there boble. Enjoy!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Very swish Bob, doesn't reflect badly on your manlyness at all

[Incy]

Lovely! Definitely should be red

[FionaH]

So glad you went for it!

[tulip]

lovely car - hope you have a lot of fun with it

[Madasafish]

Some of us (cough) had our mid life crisis Lotus ELan (in red!) a decade ago.... Now I just drive a car I can get into and out of with ease.. And that is comfortable, has aircon and is easy to park....

Life grows simpler with age!

[smallblueplanet]

I got one of these!!!!!

Well its not as big as I'd have thought, but very fun-looking all the same!

[bobleponge]

Cheers all,
HW I'd offer you a spin as well as Aunty Mo (not at the same time perhaps??) but not sure I'd fit you in.
Looking forward to getting home now and thrashing round the French country lanes, well, pootling about them anyway, for fear of tractors and other such farming machinery.

[HayleyB]

Oh very "Ooh la,la" Aunty Mo you'll need a hat and I'm sure HW will fit in when the roof is down, will look a bit noddy like though - make sure he wears a blue pointy hat

[Comfreyfan]

MLC is just an excuse - have one whenever you want!!

Nice one BLP - it looks perfect in red!

[kirsty b]

Nice motor Bob!
