Just back from Majorca where I had the misfortune to spot many of the new Fiat 500 L's, L being Laaaaarge. First Mini now Fiat, why oh why, it's almost as big as an S-Max and hideous, as is the equivalent Mini
On the plus side did see a nice clean Renault 5GT Turbo in white, it must be the climate that stops it from rotting

If it sells and makes Fiat more money i'm happy with that - i'd never buy one but if it's a big fiat that sells (which has never happened before) then good luck to them.
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Can't be any uglier that that horrible four door Mini, it's hideous.
I passed a nice clean looking white (pearl I think) GT Turbo on the M74 last week, not seen one of those in ages, looked great.

Way off topic but I was recently reminded of this photo of me - taken (I'm guessing) 45 years ago.
My parents still live in the same house and my wife has a new Fiat 500*.
My plan is to try to recreate the shot sometime this summer using Steph's Fiat and the Exige in place of my brother's poxy old Mini Countyman.
* I borrowed it one Sunday ...
Cheers,
Eric

Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow ...
