First stop and stare or possible attempted theft?!!
« on: February 26, 2010, 12:34:46 pm »
I quite possibly had my first stop and stare in my A500 this morning. Stopped off at a petrol station and as I was coming out of the shop a man was stood close to my car looking it up and down. As soon as he saw me walking towards the car, he quickly turned and walked away. Thinking about it now, he was either stood admiring my car or he was contemplating stealing it! Oh well, if it was the latter at least I can say he has VERY good taste  ;D

    yes watch out at petrol stations I was once passenger in a car when we went to get petrol I stayed in the car when my mate went into pay (he left the key in as I was in the car) some bloke came close to the drivers side then got in I ended up whacking this bloke and he ran off.

    But yes I have heard of people who have had rare cars and they have been watched and had their car stolen when the thief knows when to strike.

    Anyway the Abarth does get alot of looks I think most of our cars have had alot of stares was most likely that  :thumb:

I was on my way to my Grans funeral when sum1 asked me at a set of lights what it was and how much it cost I know it was rude but I said im on the way to a funeral dont really wanna talk and he wouldnt get the hint even after I shut the window he just shouted instead lol.

    I reckon people abroad could "order" an Abarth 500 and if your unlucky, yours could be shipped without anyone else knowing
