I've been contacted by Evo Magazine to ask if anyone fancies helping out with a feature in Paris this week.
If this sounds like you, please contact John directly. Details below:-
I would like to find an Abarth 500 Esseesse for a feature in evo magazine. It's rather urgent - this Friday, in Paris, leaving Thursday. I appreciate it's short notice but if any of your members has a 500 esseesse and is interested I can talk them through what's involved.

Edit: Evo have now sourced a car for their feature.

As Keith Richards tells it, Jones came up with the name "The Rollin' Stones" (later with the 'g') while on the phone with a venue owner. "The voice on the other end of the line obviously said, 'What are you called?' Panic. The Best of Muddy Waters album was lying on the floor—and track one was 'Rollin' Stone Blues'".

They might when they put their foot down... Then it will end up with sh*t review. Not that i'm saying my car is sh*t. I love it. Although I'd love it more with an extra 200hp.  |

I couldn't do it as my car is currently at DMS having the mods done to turbo and ECU. However, I got a mate sorted out with John Barker through Westover Sports Cars. When i talked to John Barker about modified A500's, the possibility of another article was discussed. Watch this space; Largerlout, would you be up for that?
I have sent off an email to Auto Italia regarding the same sort of thing. They have used my cars before for different articles, and I am sure they will be up for it too.
