Enjoy the car (I thiink you get him today?).

I too moved from an S2000 to an A500 after 10 years. Actually, I couldn't bring myself to get rid of the old girl and have the best of both worlds but the A500 certainly fills the role of following a mighty fine car.  ;D

Tomorrow although I have mixed feelings this morning. Had a blast back from Berkhamsted to Maidenhead through all the villages late last night, clear roads, cool weather, just slightly damp and it was a hoot! I love rear wheel drive and swapping to front after about 15 years will be odd

Looking forward to hearing your driving impressions Bear, like you most of my previous cars have been rear-wheel drive? From this thread, it seems that there is quite an Abarthisti community in North Berks, I'm watching out for other cars during my drives out...

I'm looking forward to having a blast. I have never been one for choosing a car on outright ability (except my M3 which was awesome in every regard) but more on a combination of ability, character and smile factor. I think from what I can tell the little Abarth has the latter 2 in spades so I'm sure it will be a hoot!

Will provide an unbiaised view after a bit of mucking about tomorrow.

By the way, your Morgan is WKDLYPWR! What a motor. Those side exit exhausts must emit a fair old noise!
