Spotted at Top Gear Live
« on: November 14, 2011, 06:29:52 PM »
Saw this in the track paddock at TG live yesterday  :thumb:



Same one they took to Italy???

Was hoping that it would make it onto the track maybe Vs the RS Clio it was parked next to but no such luck  :(

Had a great day, was lots of fun  ;D

Oh and the A500 was subzero on the cool wall  ;)

It was great to see one at the Top Gear Live, I thought the arena bit was amazing especially when they smashed the Rover up  ;D

 Did 20 rides and everyone loved the car, great to get the Abarth name out there for all to see  :thumb:

Just join the SPORTING BEARS £20 per year

You then donate your time and fuel, its a great feeling and you get to take like minded people for a drive  :thumb:

Just have to keep an eye out for the old bill as I did get pulled by two on bikes  :thumbd: for as they put it (making the back end squirt of the roundabout Lol)

Did get them to admit the car sounds great  :thumb:

Did anyone have time to go into the classic motor show that was on at the same time as top gear live?  My classic fiat 500 was on the fiat 500 club stand at the show.

Haha! If I was going to get pulled, I'd like that to be the reason!  ;D

I did and I saw it. In fact, I have a photo somewhere too. Wish I'd realised it was yours! Great stand and, overall, a great show. :thumb:

I thought the little F500s looked fab  :thumb: Really enjoyed the event - got a 1/2 price quote for the bodywork needed on my old Mercedes which cheered me up, and spent some time poking around the oily stalls wondering what everything did. Highlights were the tarted up campervans (a bit predictable?). Also loved the old guy in a pinny doing varnishing demonstrations to a confused gaggle of bikers in a far flung corner of the hall ???
