    They do it an awful lot too? We don't feel the need. I'm still grinning ear to ear after the weekend in my A500!  :thumb:

    Milo's had a rest this weekend but has also had a lovely clean and polish. ;D

    I believe my car was the quickest on the track at Silverstone, at least when I was driving it :whistle:

    In your opinion lloyd. Statistics speak for themselves do they not?  :whistle: What's the ratio again? 10 to 1 in the 500's favour?  ;D

    I can't agree with you over the looks or the sound (one monza exhaust later...). They are, in fact, both Italian. I have never wanted a van and it is not "cooler" - unless the GPA has better air con... :whistle:. If out and out straight line speed is what you want, it's not an Abarth you need. It is the rather esoteric issue of "fun" we are talking about here and that is wholly subjective. In my view, A500SS all the way. However, I have admitted on here, several times, I do like the GPA which does show the humility of A500 drivers.... :whistle:

    I don't get the rivalry between A500 and GPA owners, i mean Abarth make 2 cars, and all of us own either one, we all chose them for different reasons and they are both excellent cars which bring more smiles per mile than some supercars do! We are on the same team guys!  :)
