Did you used to be on Fiat Forum back in the day? I had a few modified Centos and an UNO Turbo. As well as a Lancia Y10 Turbo.

Yeah, would have been around 2004/2005. I only had it for a year as I moved on to my Starlet.

I'd have a Cinq turbo. Some of the cars on there were lovely. I remember a red Stilo Schumacher edition.

I had a turbo Cinq and a turbo Sei as well as a few Cinqs with the 1242 pinto conversions.
Great fun little cars

I remember a guy called Duncunoturbo had a lovely uno on there. I always think I'll get an Abarth at some point.

Just spotted this weapon

Every time I see one of those spoilers my mind always sees it as a bike rack at first.

I had to scroll back up to check. I just assumed it was a bike rack. Nope, you’re right, def a spoiler 🤣

Still think these look daft.

This was beautiful. Once we got onto some open country roads (I was behind him for about 10 miles) he wasn't hanging about either!

Surprising how much pace stuff like that can maintain.

No I didn't. Will hopefully be back up in October for 2 weeks for more island spotting, usually more nice cars around in October for some reason 👍🏻

Local car show today didn’t really take many pics but these were cool

And one for @Waitey

TC. · Mar 11, 2025

Had a look online but no idea what model of Aston this is, reg isn’t showing up anything ?

DaveDreads · Mar 11, 2025

Usually AML plates are for Aston prototypes and press cars, but that might just be a private plate with AML on it.

S-JM · Mar 11, 2025

Looks like a Zagato?

Spot on, looks like zagato are coach builders that have taken on various models over the years. Only 99 of the above ever produced.

BIFCAIDS · Mar 12, 2025

It's a Vanquish Zagato, came out in 2016 I believe.

massiveCoRbyn · Mar 12, 2025

Yeah, an Aston that's been beaten by the Zagato ugly stick

Not a Vauxhall fan by any stretch but the GSi has canvas space for me👌

I knew someone that had one of those years ago. Wasn't super fast even then, but it sounded lovely and they do look good with the body kit.

Although it’s a cool thing to spot, they ain’t half ugly.

Triumph should have left it at the TR6.

My neighbour bought a green TR6 for his midlife crisis when I was a kid. Such a pretty car.

My ex has one of these (white, V6), along with a mk2 Astra GTE and 200SX sitting in a lock up somewhere. They were her late husbands but she doesn’t know where the keys or any of the paperwork are as they got lost at some point over the years. I desperately tried to get her to do something about it when we were still together but she thought it was too much hassle… 🤷🏻‍♂️

The SX is fucked, although she has/had a loads of spare parts in her loft. No idea about the other two though, and I’ve never seen any of them in person. Not sure exactly what the story is, but he had a fallout with his dodgy brother not long before becoming ill and passing and I think he might have something to do with things going missing / her not wanting to get involved.

That is a genuine shame. Can see why you left her🤣🤣
