The Topolino is indeed tiny, it's always funny looking at one when parked near a modern car. Any Topolinos left in the UK?

RTTwingo, The Gamine, nice one, Small and Italian tends to be a really cool combo anyway, but that is one true funmobile that is...

There are a few left here in Australia, very rare but very nice! The "Mickey Mouse" was always a great car. Dante really was a genius- I'd imagine his thinking would be of even greater use today than it was then.
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.

Yes, in light of some of the designs these days, he's surly missed...
Thanks Zophos79, Italy sure knows how to make them "the smaller, the better"

I drive an AUdi A6 2.8 quottro for the dail mundane stuff. I often take the wifes Corsa if parking is going to be tight.
But at the weekend I drive a classic 911 which I have spent the last few years modifying and restoring...

I currently drive two cars.
One is my wife's which I bought for her. Its nothing less than a stonkingly fast Nissan Micra 1.4, with a tyre shredding 1.4 horsepower and a top speed of 1.4mph! The tyres are massive Mickey Thompson imitation items that measure up at 1.4 inches wide and the entire car is about 1.4 metres from nose to tail! It's painted in Paris Blue and I get old retirees in their Camrys who give me dirty looks at the red lights and wanna take me on.
Phhht! As IF! That little baby will do the triple figures in 14 minutes and does the standing quarter in 14 hours! You really wanna go me, grandpa?
Anyways, my other car is an old, bombed out rust-bucket.... haven't had an old granny try me in that one yet....

Planning on buying anything new soon?

Hehe, the Micra is the ONLY brand new car I've ever bought and once it's paid off (in a few years!) I'll probably trade it in on a Suzuki Swift Sport. Or a Fiesta XR4.
I wouldn't mind a Fiat 500 Abarth Essesse though. With a 40K sticker price it certainly isn't cheap, but my next car will more than likely be small and funky. Not that I like cars small (or funky) as I'm a guy who enjoys depleting the Earth of crude oil at a frightening rate, but the buggers in the Middle East keep putting the price up!

40k? 40k what?? Where are you located?
My sister just bought a new 500 1.4 in red with white/cream interior. Looks quite funky, a bit cramped on the inside though. Havent had the chance to drive it yet but im not really all that bothered to be honest.
