Amongst the people with 500s, 595s and Bipostos in the Abarth owners club are some very lucky people indeed, who own and drive, on the road, things like this utterly gorgoeus 2000p:

Taste is a funny thing. There's some awesome cars on this thread. And there's some right old pieces of crap. (-:

Oh, and this is pretty awesome...

It really is. Largest self-powered vehicle in the world, that. Weighs six [i]million[/i] pounds and does a kilometre on just 300 litres of diesel. 😯 Oh yeah, and one of them is being upgraded because it's not big enough.

Ah, the mistake is all yours. That's a 308 GT4 Dino. First mid engined v8 Ferrari, only Ferrari designed by Marcello Gandini and (in my humble opinion) a very beautiful and under rated car, especially in Rosso Rubino with gold wheels.

The Verde Germoglio is seriously cool too.

@core, thanks so much for posting the Lancia Fulvia. As a young lad at senior school i remember lusting after the usual Countach and 959 excesses until my new physics master turned up in a Fulvia. I just loved it!

The GT40 wins, for me at least. But also:

Those Dinos are nice enough, very '70s and angular but they are well proportioned.

I wouldn't mind tootling around the riviera in one anyway.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, because some of those are proper dogs. 😆

F40 doesn't look great in photo's, saw one the other week on the road and nearly lost my mind!

Not to everyone's taste but I'd love a series 1 RS turbo.

A good mate had one, I worked Saturdays in his dad’s hifi shop, so had a chance to get rides in it.
It had quite a few issues from new, front discs warped, front suspension uprights kept failing, one night four of us coming through Savernake Forest on our way back from a hifi show in Ade’s RS heard an almighty bang and sparks lit up a car going in the opposite direction when we hit the bottom of a dip in the road at some speed; turned out it was the fuel pump hitting the road!
Oh, and there were issues with the Recaro seats as well.
