Fiat at a car dealership near me... (pic heavy)

I laughed my head off, seeing this teeny little Fiat at the car dealership near my place.

(I parked my bike next to the car in one shot)

even though it was faster in 4th than 5th.

It was a lot of fun to drive, and even though it was a Fiat, it tended to break down less than Triumphs and MGs of the day. Also much cheaper than Porsches or Jaguars.

I had its baby sister, the 850 Spider, and that was even more fun-- although I blew the engine burying the speedo.
