Nice starts I need another run in the beast

What was the event and brief before the event?

The latest issue of Autocar is out which has a 3 page article covering the event by Chris Harris. The last paragraph I quote,

"He'll also need to persuade some Ferrari owners to attend. Not one fast Fiat was there last Sunday, and that was a shame"

Erm, cough COUGH... now I know what he means but it would have been nice if he had qualified that statement with a little quip about a certain Fiat Coupé flying the "Fast Fiat" flag

What faster fiat was he expecting?

Ross

Enzo perhaps

Lol.....

Fiat tho?

Again dude, well done.

Ross

Ross, you have failed to absorb the subtle humour that Chris Harris was trying to make. Ferrari is owned by Fiat ergo a Ferrari is a fast Fiat, this is what he was alluding to. I was alluding to the fact there was in fact a "Fast Fiat" there, ged it?

Come on Flea, that comment deserves a letter in from you - get drafting 'With regards to the comment in the most recent copy of Autocar reference Fighting Torque 2007, I beg to differ but......'.

We'll all sign to say you want a written apology in next months issue......

Mark

Sorry. Typical interweb language block!!!

Ged it now.

Ross

Flea, send a tongue-in-cheek letter to the autocar letters page correcting Chris harris that there was in fact, a bangle-penned italian supercar present, albeit one you can pick up for 3K.

Go on. Go on. Go on go on go on

I reckon they'd print it too.

I read that in Autocar today too and definitely think it deserves a letter.

I've been getting Autocar for the last 15 years and they've always been pretty positive about the coupe, so I think there's a good chance of getting a letter printed - especially if you include a nice photo.

Send them your video clip too - just to hammer the message home.

Yep write in Flea. For a car that barely costs 1/10th of a lambo.....

Do these car magazine actually own the cars then? Or do they do a sort of long term lease? (Do chief editors get payed enough to afford lambos?)

Hey, that is one fast Tipo
Nice to see one Coop in that group of cars and the Coop kicks ass

Anyone know Chris Harris email address, do they publish them in ther magazine?

I can't believe how well you got off the line Flea, alongside those RWD cars you'd seemed to get as good a launch!

Impressive indeed, I'm scrabbling away usually with half the amount of power your coupe has But I'm terrible at properly launching the coupe anyway (way too much mechanical sympathy )
