Seen in the wild?
« on: January 09, 2009, 01:12:57 PM »
Other than their own, has anyone actually seen a Abarth Punto in the wild? I haven't seen one, so the one i test drive on Wednesday will be my first, and i expect the one i buy will be my second..

The test drive is going to be at Lipscomb. Thames, slough is closer, but i preferred Lipscomb, which i've written about in the dealership section here.

Really cant wait. Anyone have ideas on build times?

My other half saw a red one in Nuthall, Nottingham last week.  I've not seen another yet.

Oddly I saw another one on my test drive a few months ago. Haven't seen one since on the road, keeping my eyes peeled though.

I'm 2 miles away from Thames but bought mine from Research in Nuneaton. Didn't even know Thames were doing Abarth at that time.
