Sold the BMW 335i last month.
Plan was to buy a practical, sensible family car.
Came home with this today..........

Yep that ticks all the boxes ha ha.
Whats the spec on that then it doesn't look standard.

Pretty gay but also pretty cool.
Seen a ''ferrari tributo'' one before with a quad exhaust. That looked very cool.

No what I would've picked if I had a family but nice, none the less.
Love the colour.

Would love one of these, have enough fun in the missus' 500
Can't justify the complete lack of practicality though

Cool cars
Couldn't help but feel like a proper bumboy whilst driving it though

Awesome wee cars. My missus friend has just bought a black one. She wanted the essess but there like hens teeth and cost a fair bit more. Bloody nippy.

Nice. Bosa nova white?
I am selling my sister in laws black Abarth Esseesse (2010/10) at the minute. Strange market for them and is taking a while to move which has surprised me; and yes - it is priced right
I would like it myself but a 3rd in-practical car is not practical...

Yep it's not what I originally had in mind when I said practical family car.
But I've always fancied one. Not sure how long I'll keep it , will see how it goes.
Car seat fits behind the Mrs' seat no bother, and our pushchair goes in but need half of back seat folded. But the condition of me getting this was that I bought a new pushchair (we kind of needed a new one anyway), so we tried a few out today and chose one that fits in boot with rear seat up no bother with room to spare.
It has a few bits done to it:
Bilstein coilovers
Rota wheels
Supersprint backbox with custom centre section
TMC decat
BMC panel filter
Forge induction pipe
Remap
Also has a few factory options.
It's running 180bhp, it's really fun to drive too.

This ones just a 500. Did look at a 595 Competizione before this though.
