Casually looking through Streetview, when I find this. :shock:

Never expected I'd find it, close to home too!

Looks marvellous!

Normally, I despise the colour red on a car, but that pulls it off well. (But then Italian cars always look good in red for some reason, whereas other cars seem to be cheapened by the colour red).

Those are definitely not standard alloys. Where did you get them from? :)

I'd know that bit of rotting concrete anywhere :D although it turns out I'm good at spotting where ADUKers have been.

Looks cracking anyway, and who doesn't like a good Fiat product?
