• Abarth was delivered last night. Drive from Frome to Bristol via Radstock along the backroads this morning left me grinning ear to ear the whole way. It's far from being a proper fast car , but it is just so much fun to drive - exactly what I wanted.

    Tyres that came on it, although fairly new, are a bit shit, so just ordered some Yokohoma Advan Flava's to be fitted friday, and also booked it in to have a stage one remap on monday. 180hp and 310nm in a car the size and weight of rollerskate should equate to a proper little pocket rocket.

    I'd love an ND MX-5, but it's definitely not driven by the additional 20-50bhp over my NB. Small & light is the way to go as far I'm concerned.

  • Sounds like my old mk1 eunos. Definitely not that quick but you could thrash it around with all the fun noises and still not be too close to going too fast to lose your license. Miss that car a lot.
