cobblers Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Abarth really are scraping the bottom of the barrel nowadays, trying in more and more half-arsed ways to drag a few more years out of the ancient design. I thought they'd reached nearly the bottom of it 8 years ago when I bought my "Abarth 595 Yamaha Racing special edition" which basically had a yamaha sticker and an incredibly loud exhaust on. I don't think I've ever actually belly laughed at a picture of a new car before this: Fucking pea shooters 🤣 Looks like a giffer mod done by someone with 4 of those chrome tailpipe trims you could get from motorworld.

Skut Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I got to drive two USDM cars yesterday. A 1996 Ford Aspire and a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis. Still buzzing! The Mercury was the car I really wanted to drive. It rocks when you blip the throttle! Nor does it seem monstrously big but that’s maybe because it’s on a big American driveway. It doesn’t seem particularly fast but it’s hugely characterful. It wonders quite a bit even at low speeds but corners relatively flat. It seems inconsistent. Sometimes floaty, sometimes not. It rides pretty well but shudders still get through to your bum at times. The Aspire drives like filth by comparison. Any attempt to go round a corners above parking speeds and the steering goes horribly heavy. A real set in concrete feel. Something is very wrong in the sensors somewhere as it starts to die the second you put any load on it. The manual gearbox was fine. About the only good thing about it. It was hard work to drive. It felt as if it had to be manhandled everywhere. Loved every minute of it! Also the remains of what I think is a 40s Chevrolet upside down in a wood.

People from the home counties who think their 3 bed semi in Watford , will get them half of Scotland or Wales. When they get there and see it will get them maybe a 4 bed with a bigger garden in the middle of nowhere, or something only slightly bigger / better in a tourist area /by the sea or with character, they don’t like any of them. (ditto Place in the Sun . “We have a budget of £40k and want a 3 bed house with entertaining area , pool and sea view.” Reality , a run down tiny 1 bed next to an abattoir.) 2. People who just want to be on TV and show off to their friends that they have money.” We have a budget of £750 000” , yeh, course you do! 3. She wants a flashy kitchen and big garden to grow veg / chickens / horses. He’d live in any shit hole as long as there’s a huge garage / workshop for his collection of vintage motorbikes. eddyramrod, Remspoor, BorniteIdentity and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler is a badly thought out styling que too. For a small car which tapers so abruptly above the waist, nailing that spoiler on top of the tailgate makes it look like a church spire.
