Abarth 695 Tributo Abu Dhabi Blue

[GransportFan1]

Yes they are over priced but spotted this on the Abarth forum the other day and i thought regardless of price it is bloody stunning.

The owner apparently paid in the region of 38k for it. Gulp.

More money than sense......

There is a group test in this months EVO....Came 3rd out of 4...Clio won for far less money...

 

[dem maser]

The other 2??

 

[GransportFan1]

Corsa VXR Nurburgring edition, quite like that, good looking and also the new Mini Coupe was in the test which is horrid.

 

[dem maser]

dont like the mini coupe or the corsa......
500 and clio i get.....

thought the twingo will be in there

 

[GransportFan1]

Twingo is a supermini size Dem and too cheap, 12k plus they wont test the Twingo as well as the Clio.

 

[Andyk]

The Vauxhal came 2nd...A bloody Vauxhal.....

 

[GransportFan1]

It looks bloody good though Andy if your under 25.

 

[Andyk]

Say the badge and looked away Adam......I can not get excited about a Vauxhal....Oh apart from the VXR8 or the Monaro VXR..Something very honest about these big engine Holdens....

 

[GransportFan1]

The 2 Vauxhall's i cant stand, Monaro is ugly and the interior is terrible and the VXR8 is £35k new, £35k for a Vauxhall.

 

[Andyk]

We will have to disagree on that Adam...Went out in a VXR8 Bathurst edition...It was bloody bonkers and reall old school blood and guts...But I can see why you wouldn't be fussed on the looks..Not for everyone.

 

[GransportFan1]

It sounds good though the Bathurst, the supercharger whines like a 2 year old.


I will take back what i said, £25k already,

holy dooley that looks nice for the money,

much nicer than it's rival from Germany, the Audi S4, how boring do you want to look.

[Andyk]

Love the Bathurst Adam....Looks a real handful.......

 

[GransportFan1]

Yes it does, one thing that would be a pain though is the fuel consumption.

 

[dem maser]

I like the monaro adam.....i like the vxr8....i wouldnt buy new but used at a good price then its an option

 

[BennyD]

There were a lot of big Holden V8s in Oz. Most in really bright lime greens and oranges. Some had decent exhausts on too and they sounded great, but nowhere near as great as a Maser!

 

[Andyk]

Yes Ian....what could be............I love watching the V8 Holdens and Ford racing in Oz which I thinks adds to the appeal of the VXR8.....Some of the best, if not the best racing on TV...

 

[dem maser]

holden camp or ford camp??

 

[GransportFan1]

Holden, Ford are not even Australian.
