The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

No picture unfortunately, but a 20vT (in this colour) went past me on my commute. It looked very clean, made me question how long it’s been since I last saw one!

SF90 lined up for the boat 😍

Used to be a black one that came to our car meets back in like 2005, sounded like a jet fighter. Always fancied one, but wasn't it something like having to drop the engine to do the cambelt?

Supposedly, I had one but I don't think the price of the cambelt change was that much. I had it in 2005 though, so I can't really remember.

Supposedly. I had a Bravo hgt which had the 5 pot - snail and that was the same. It started whining a week before a Scotland trip so I had it in the dealers who said it was the aux tensioner and definitely not the cambelt and they could definitely sort it. When I went to collect they told me it was the cambelt tensioner and they had changed it without taking the engine out and in half the time the workshop manual quoted. The bill didn't have a new cambelt on and was tripple what they quoted me. After a big bust up I paid what I'd been quoted and everyone in the building knew what I thought of their shitty service. It didn't blow up in my ownership and we had a good trip. Never entertained another fiat again.

I saw a copper coloured F430 Scuderia this morning! I'd come out of a shop and it was driving by. I didn't get a picture as I had my hands full

It must be this one (it's been "spotted" in London, which is where I saw it) As per the title, apparently the only one in the world in that colour.
