    I'm just helping keep this thread open until we get more news on delivery. I don't expect us to have the car much before the end of April or into May. We've paid a £500 deposit (protected by paying by credit car :dbgrtmb:) and shan't pay the final sum until the car is at the Dealership.

      I could help you there by mentioning that I was out in the latest addition to my little collection this morning...a bouncing baby car christened "Jeff." :snork:

            That needs a correction @shiney:

            Top Speed - Not a clue, as I haven't a straight enough road or the balls to get it over 182 MPH :biggrin:

              The "sting in its tail" refers to a company known for tuning these that use a scorpion as their trade mark.

              Referring to the post @shiney made, I could not resist posting these...

              The one above is the smaller version of this...

              Ah, so it is an Abarth and therefore has to be a 500 or a 600D at a guess?

              Or, what was the other one - and 850 or something? I can't properly remember, but it was one of those 'skin of the teeth' homologation specials?
