    I really dig the decals... They are nice touches, not too blingy

    That's an actual emblem from Europe and yeah, not too blingy. I think the way it sits now is how its going to look for a while. The black out mod is planted in my head, so its going to happen come hell or high water, period. I would also like to add the triple stripe like Road Race Motorsports has on their Abarth, it even goes onto the dashboard piece too, very cool mod. I like stripes on a car, had the stripes on the R56 and then had "Viper-style" stripes added as well as GT350-style ones too, with a custom "S" towards the back, really liked that. My stripe package will go over the bumper, hood, roof (including sunroof), hatch and rear bumper. Once I get the blackout mod done and that stripe the car will be unique to me, something I was able to achieve with the MINI and something I really wanna do with this car, I'm well on my way.

    BTW Monica my buddy sent me a pic of his Abarth on the Devil's Triangle last weekend, the car was "tripod", I'll post a pic of it later, looking forward to that run this year

    I had custom stripes on my R56 as well... went a totally different route with the R53.

    I am looking forward to seeing more of your progress

    Devil's Triangle... nice. I'll wait for that pic

    Sorry Monica, here you go! The Devil's Triangle has 3 180 degree uphill turns (if you run it counter clockwise) and you MUST use 1st gear to get up the hill, well unless you've got some big V8!

    I was lucky enough to drive a couple, one an early 60's model and the other from the late 60's. We also had a 68' Aussie spec S model w/ dual carbs and front disc brakes, 90 hp, double the standard car but never took that one on the road, it was that off white w/ ruby red top and cosmo wheels, flawless car! One thing that blows people away is how big the car is inside compared with the outside.
