“That’s not a bad idea...”

Wait, are you saying bike swap into a Baby/BabyII, or bike swap into a full-size Type 35?

Our daughter also wanted one - convertible, pink, and “definitely a Quattro” - at age 4. Because it had to be practical.

I have a 2001 Quattro roadster 6 speed in silver with baseball stitching. It has electrical problems and is expensive to fix.. but it’s part of the family now. One of the most beautiful cars ever made and a blast to drive!

My almost 4-year old daughter saw the picture of the red one, and instantly declared it her favorite car that she wants, “To grow up to have.”

We had a 2002 TT 225hp Quattro 6-speed roadster with Nokians for winter duty. I remember driving it from Indiana to Eastern PA through a snow storm. Guy followed me to a rest stop at one point and asked me what kind of radar detector I had. So stable in snow and such a nice engine note! Like a tasteful Abarth

I’m a Stratos but I feel more like an Aurelia B20GT...

FWIW, the F40 did not have a carbon fibre tub. The F50 was the first Ferrari road car to have one.

18" I think, one of the owners in the UK had a set especially made, then went on to supply them to other owners

Fair enough, it might be my English here. The Gendarmerie Nationale has a military status but is under the jurisdiction of the minister of the Interior and not the Defense. 

side note, those Carabinieri guys have the nicest looking vehicles.

Dangit! I was close, but my clumsy american ears let me down!

At least i got the language right i suppose....

Pretty much everything has been a rally car at one point, but homologated factory Chevettes campaigned successfully for many years in Group 4.

Vintage, rear engined oversteer narrated by french people is the best kind of oversteer.

Not to mention the ‘84 SC RS is one of the rarest 911's. Only 20 manufactured to meet FIA’s homologation and weighed just over 2,100 lbs with 290 hp.

It was Britain’s most popular car for several years (outselling the comparable Ford Fiesta), but I doubt it would surprise you in any driving sense. Probably feels a bit nippier than you might have expected given its power because of course cars were significantly lighter then, but won’t be a stellar driving…

I have that Metro now (traded Jamie an E46 xi wagon for it), come drive it - I think you’ll be surprised, too.

The Metro was a sales success when it bowed in 1980, and the British public at first liked the practicality, economy, and handling. It was not uniquely good at any of those things, but it was an all-around competitive car when it debuted and through the early 80s.

I’m pretty sure no one wants English Whiskey when the Scots exist just to the north. I was more disappointed by the lack of schnapps.
