I love those Seicentos, and the Cinquecento though a friend of mine used to give me a lift to work in one and it was terrifying, it was like a hairdryer, went up to a bazillion revs and felt like if anything nudged it, it would collapse like a deck of cards.
Seicento sporting though, i've often thought about that as potentially being my own first car too (despite being a car nut I don't actually drive, go figure)
There's plenty going about in Britain at the moment and at reasonable prices. I paid £950 for mine, which was advertised as "Fiat Seicento Sporting Abarth Micheal Schumacher Edition"
I didn't know before I saw mine that there was an Abarth, let alone a Schumacher! Turns out my car is not the Schumacher edition (They're SUPER rare) but it IS a great wee car. Just be prepared for the culture shock of the pedal layout if you do buy one, they're VERY offset to the left (In RHD) because on the wheelarch.
Back on-topic, I've found photos of several things I took AGES ago on my old phone (Before I joined GTplanet) that I'd love to share.
So, this is some very not exciting Saab something, but LOOK AT THE STICKER!

Also, as promised, the DB9 that lives near me. I've only ever driven past it at home, so spotting it in IKEA's car park an hour and a half from home was... interesting!

Okay, so I was in London last June fencing, and spotted these six beauties! There's a Maserati Quattroporte (Obscured by pillar) an unmolested Supra and RX-7 which is something you just DON'T see. Also a GORGEOUS Blue Aston Martin V8 Vantage droptop! The owner offered me a lift. He was genuinely creepy though, and as I was 15/16 at the time I declined... Part of me actually died. The Black car is Either a DBS or another V8 Vantage, I can't remember. And there's also the rear of a Camaro poking out, sorry, my phone was slow getting the camera going.

This next trio of photos is possibly the most amazing thing I HAVE EVER SEEN! I was in a random motorway service station when I spot this INSANE art car across the car park. I go to it, and realise I have never seen anything that shape, and I really
know my cars. So I start snapping a few photos. But the drivers came along and, very politely, asked me not to. They were taking it "Somewhere" for crash testing and were definitely NOT supposed to have stopped for anything, so if my shots leaked out they'd be in BIG trouble. So when they drove off, I just took more pictures! This will be the first time they've been posted on the web. It's one of the later Land Rover Evoque prototypes.

Another fencing competition find, this was parked outside the Travelodge we were staying in near Sheffield. A travelodge is Not exactly the Ritz...

Then there was a trip to the lake district last summer... That place is LITTERED with Audi R8's! The white one is a V8, while the blue is a V10... the side intakes are different shapes. I also have some photos of an Alfa Romeo 8C AND an 8C spider in a dealership... I was in heaven!!!

Finally, some silver screen superstars!!! Lol superstars is the wrong word... Okay, so this was me, behind the scenes, of the movie "World War Z" in Grangemouth, Scotland. My dad works with the roads with the council, so the movie makers had to talk to him about road closures. I only happened to be in the car because I wanted a run to the shops, so when he got called upon to talk to some managerial person for the movie IN PERSON on the set about the roads I was amazed! So I got out and had a wee poke around, and found the early 00's/late 90's Camero, a GMC truck that looked quite epic and the Mustang! It looked like some form of special with its louvred rear 3/4 windows, but American cars aren't exactly my forte. They also had a very filthy example of the new Challenger! Apparently, all these cars were just going to be destroyed after they'd finished filming, not exported back to the USA.



I honestly attempted to buy them, really I did! They wouldn't budge, and they were PAYING $500 PER CAR to crush them. They were paying the scrap yard!!!
