Campovolo Grey Esseesse SO10*** with orange mirrors and Assetto Corse stripes followed me across the level crossing at Sheen and then into Richmond Park. Bit naughty that you overtook me in the park though. I know I was doing twenty but that's because there are deer and horses and cyclists (and the speed limit is twenty).

Could possibly of been me - I live on the a2/m2

Just seen my car's twin going down the A2, as it turns into the M2. Outside lane, flying along without a care in the world. Sexy little beast! Campo Grey with Red Side Stripes, and what appeared to be something orange in the rear window? Couldn't catch the number plate as we were in my Dad's Focus blah-mobile which probably has a top speed of 31mph.

3 local spots in Beds the last couple of days:
Wednesday, sometime after 5pm, somewhere on my route between Ampthill and Leighton Buzzard (don’t ask me where, was on complete autopilot): red A500, lady driver, 06-reg. Think I’ve seen you before.
Yesterday, Leighton Buzzard, 5pm, Stanbridge Rd by the old RAF station, white A500, 13-reg, youngish male driver sporting a big typical Abarth grin, looked like he loved being in his car!
Then same day, LB again,  10pm-ish, white A500, 09-reg, on Grovebury Rd.  by the dentist.   
Wasn’t in our Abarth on any occasion, so virtual wave to all of you now  :wave:! Today that I am actually driving her, haven’t met any others yet, typical! 

I saw two today. First one was an un-badged 500 in black. I followed it in my van for about two miles in Weybridge along the A318 New Haw Road at about 14:20. I have to say, it was very black and very loud! Probably the loudest 500 I've heard! Very nice car! Personalised number plate X500 BLK. I bibbed my horn Three times before I left him at a roundabout but driving a van, I may as well be invisible ;-).

The second was on Tentelow Lane again in Southall. White 500 with red decals at exactly 14:42.

Interesting opinion,
My car is looking a similar state at the moment, because its my daily commuter, and even after a decent clean its dirty again after 2 days with the mileage I do.. At least this chap / lass is using their Abarth, that's the main thing IMO, these cars really are made to be driven. (well technically all are  :) )

Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong. I use my abarth every day for work but I never let it get this bad. I always see it parked up in a state. I was half tempted to knock on their door and wash it for them for my own sanity haha

My car is in a similar state as I commute 160 miles a day and it is black so with the current weather it gets dirty within a day.

On the A40 Witney westbound bypass we met another Abarth, and for the first time, mutual flashing lights, tooting horns and waves. On the few previous occasions that we've seen one we have been either ignored or got the full on death stare.
Whoever you are, in the 59 plate with the scorpion on the bonnet who turned of towards Brize Norton, hi!

Record Grey 14 plate (I think) Comp with tan interior at Stoneacre in Cleckheaton. Had an Abarthisti sticker on the passenger rear window. Think the guy said it'd been traded in though.

Seen twice in Hertford town, an incredible grey what looks like a comp or biposto but with huge spoiler and mad bodykit. Number plate ends in VOG, just want to know what modifications have been done to it as it looks so good!

That sounds like Nico Vogli's car. He's done a lot of mods, both to the body work (some of which he made himself) and mechanically.  He's not on here, or on Facebook, but is a regular at events like Ace Cafe and other Abarth meets in the London and surrounding areas.

Hi all,

Had some fun this morning with another competizione heading to Godalming form the A3.
Was it any of you lot??  ;) ;)

I thought nothing sounded better than a Record Monza. I was wrong, nothing sounds better than two Record Monzas!
