Scottish Elises

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.

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.

Looks more like a giant Panda than 500 to me..

I love parking the lotus beside them, and taking a picture.
Makes the lotus look even more ickle.

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

Cool! I think that might be Campbell's new car on the right (sorry Cam - couldn't resist!)

Shug used to have a Countryman just like that.
