First Road trip to Yorkshire Dales
« on: February 26, 2011, 07:21:47 PM »
Took the family up to Augill Castle for the night in the new (to me) Abarth yesterday.  It's a great base if anyone is planning on staying in the Dales.  The little car swallowed up my wife, 5 month old son and all our luggage without a problem and off we headed up the M6.

Covered 250 miles on all sorts of roads and if you want to know how much I enjoyed myself take a look at my last picture.

Enjoy the pics.

It's funny you should spot that.  I have always preferred to drive my cars rather than polish them, however, the previous owner had the car cellophane wrapped.  Maybe that and all the rain in Yorkshire today kept it clean! :thumb:

Nice! Good air time i think there!

With regards the rain in Yorkshire, it has highly regarded cleansing properties  ;)
I came, I saw, I purchased! I love it!

Great pictures. I love the Assetto Corse side stripes.  I am getting them on my car when it arrives sometime this summer.

Got more pics?  :)

Just for you Cyberdog, I agree AC stripes make the standard ones look a bit puney!

Thanks a lot David :)  That's what mine will look like also I think.  Undecided between Petals and 10 spokes at the moment.  And I'm not having the skydome.  Need to get some roof bars on it for the odd snowboarding trip.
