Impressive, 'specially the 280SL. Didn't look too bad 'til you tried the closeups. :roll:
Seems they got a transporter load of 'em - going into production perhaps? :)

They come and go, that repaš has been there for a while now but that's the first time I've seen the SL, looks seriously abused. Still, I think I'd go for that over the Karmann, for a start the jacking points are missing off the sills.

Worst car I ever drove was my ex-girlfriends 2002 Fiat Punto. Very plasticy inside, felt really unstable at 70+ and steering was sh*t. However city steering mode was interesting you could park using your little finger. Ace!


Would recommend that no-one buys one!

I've been a passenger in a Punto and wasn't keen on the experience. Feels like you're sitting on a barstool, and not in a good way :shock:
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Never been in one but I've worked on one: It wouldn't idle, FIAT dealership's diagnosis - needs a new single-point injector unit (think electronic carburattor £££). My diagnisis - one broken wire, fixed in less than 5 minutes start to finish (ppp). It's not just Pug dealers... :roll:

I had a 98R Punto, i quite liked it. Ok the handling and grip was scary and mine was a 1.7 turbo diesel which was really slow compared to the Nova 1.5 TD 8) i had before it. But it was really comfortable and there is loads of space in the cabin and footwell that i loved driving it :|
