Had a giggle to myself yesterday, my daughter 10years old, told me that in the class show and tell (Which this week was a big collage of "All about me"

Out of the 10 boys in the class - when it came to cars 7 had various typical exotics - Lamborghini - Ferrari - Porsche etc...what they want to own when older...

3 of the lads came in with pics of Fiat coupes! All different colours, with the best obviously a red Plus ;-)
Been a while since I took the kid to school in a coupe (2 or so years)

Amazed that it held such a spot for the lads, my kid then explained that they get mums and dads to drive slow past my house as that is where the Red Plus is in residence!

Just thought it was a nice wee thing...

Have a great weekend all ;-)

Well my youngest tells me that the Lamborghini V12 he had a ride in accelerated quicker than the Coupe, he may be right, but he was still breathless in the Coupe and I tend to change up at just over 4000 revs...

We had some trick or treaters last week, including a tiny lad who was dressed up as Edward Scissor hands.

His parting comment (whilst gesturing with a pointy hand) was :-

'My Dads likes your Fias'

..bless him cool

Red looks good on a coupe....
