We only have a couple in Northern Ireland
1. My funk white A500 SS Co. Antrim 2. Black A500 Co. Down 3. Bossa nova white A500 Belfast 4. Grey A500 around the corner from me Co. Antrim
Our biggest problem is the Police stopping us, just to have a look :-( I believe there are only about 10 in NI including the Dealers

I live in Shropshire and have only seen one Abarth 500. During a two weeks holiday in Italy (one week in Rome and one week in Florence) I only saw two Abarth 500. Since they were introduced, and apart from seeing a few at the dealers (Platts), I've only ever seen two; one was on the Isle of Wight Ferry, and the other by Atcham in Shropshire. They are as rare as hen's teeth in Shropshire/Mid Wales.

I know that there is a APE in Forres about 10 miles away, but I've only seen him once in the past 4 months or so, and that was when I first spotted him... Theres an A500 in Inverness, about 20 miles away, and I go to college there 3 days a week, I see the car quite often but havent had a chance to chat to the guy, and then theres a AGP in Inverness too, stevey owns it but I havent seen him in a few months either...
Theres also an AGP about 40 miles away but I only saw it once and I'm unlikely to see it again :P
Not many Abarths in the north of Scotland

There are plenty of A500 and A500C's in Guernsey but I recently passed a campovolo grey A500 with black wheels in Guernsey, apparently it has been extensively tuned but I'm not sure if that means to Mr Quinn and Potter77 levels.
Does the owner frequent this forum?

All those who became members over the past couple of years need to stick their (approximate) location in the Abarthisti map. It's a sticky thread at the top of the Members Cars section called 'Add your Location' Don't put your exact position in (unless you want to), just stick a pin in your rough location so we can all see where everyone is.

Put Carmen on the map a while back.
Brilliant thing about it is that I can easily see it on my Android mobile :thumb:
If you've got an Android mobile: Log in to your Google account on your laptop and add the map to your favourites. Then open Maps on your phone, hit Layers, My Maps, then the Abarthisti map...
Simples ;D
