Author Topic: Auto Italia magazine request for an Abarth Grande Punto (Read 1231 times)

Auto Italia are running a feature comparing the Abarth Grande Punto with an Alfa MiTo, and they're looking for someone who'd like to have their car used in the feature.

They're specifically looking for a standard car (not an esseesse) that's not white.

You'd have to be available in the Hertfordshire area, provisionally around the ~~30th or 31st~~ 23rd of this month.

If that sounds like you, please drop me (or one of the moderators) a line.

Isn't that racist??

What's wrong with white ones?

Exactly what I was thinking, I`d be well up for it if they wanted an esseesse

I'd love to volunteer, but I am on a biz trip the whole week from 28th March to 1st April. Damn.

I would suspect they don't want an SS because they want to do a direct comparison between the two 155bhp cars.
