^^^ Wow, that looks painful!  :P I always wore a hat when driving top down, and I've got a little bit of hair left at least. 

Nice car though!  ;D

Old truck pulled up next me driven by a real old lady. 50s? vintage GMC. Looked like it rolled off of Barret Jackson floor.

A few weeks ago the wife and i were at a trail head about to walk the dog when two elderly ladies drove in asking for directions to another park where they were supposed to meet their walking group.  They were mid-70s and were in a nicely specced 2-dr Wrangler.  Thought that was pretty cool.  8)

I wasn't sure at all what I was following today - even when I got up beside it and passed it. Strange little buggy.
I had to look it up at home.
Fiat Barchetta with LHD just like this one.

Drove one, fizzy little Italian Miata. Cute little thing, and quite inexpensive to import.

Nice spot!

It's a FWD Fiat Punto with the roof cut off. Nice styling, but hideous everything else.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Driven one? As a former owner, I would say don't judge these 90s Italian cars until you drive them.

Yes I have driven one, it was sh!t. I test drove a load of two seated roadsters, Barchetta, MGF, MX-5 etc, ended up buying a MKIII MR2. The Fiat is based on a FWD hatch, whereas all of its competition were RWD with generally better suspension.

Recent trade in. A low mile Audi R8 4.2 V8 with a manual. Just gorgeous. If I had the money...too late already sold. V10 manual incoming soon though...

Very nice! :thumbup:  Looks best in black too imo.  How reliable is the 4.2V8?

The one in the RS4 and R8 is actually pretty good from what I hear, normal 4.2 pitfalls were not present in them. Need good carbon cleaning every so often though.

Do you know how much it went for?  Is it still a 6 figure car?  Love the gated shifter on these.  I remember when these came out there was talk of a smaller less expensive sports car, I don't remember if it was R4 or R6 was the rumored name.  I think VW was also planning on having their version of that too, if memory serves.

I do not know how much it went for, but close to 6 figures I would imagine. It was in excellent shape.
