"RUBY the Heartstealer" - aka Joseph's A5oo
« on: October 30, 2011, 11:26:51 AM »
OK the fun begins

Here are some photos, more will come later






I must say so far it is a blast to drive. It does feel a bit tight and I am still getting back to this manual caper and getting used the whole turbo motor thing. Yep it is a bit of go-kart. The driving position is bit odd, it is quite upright (which I normally like, but this quite extreme) turn-in is quite eager and she grips quite well. The ride is extremely bouncy and Mr Koni cannot come fast enough. Strangely the turning circle is as big as the 156

My wife has christened her "Ruby the Heartstealer"......... something about some decaying & aged Italian Guy who buys some pretty young thing that only gets him some into trouble......I like it !!! RUBY

Bet I'm not the only one to get to the second pic and wonder about the side decals, before doing a double take  :whistle:

Great looking car, and as Hippo says, love the tiny plates too  :thumb:

Very nice motor, health to drive. I like the new leather upgrades ;-).  The car cover is cool.
