    It feels fast. It was really a hoot to drive. I have driven it twice. Jan makes a big valve head for it. I called him with some questions about my Mini and asked what kind of power I could get out of the Abarth he said about 200hp. Richard Hammond reviewed it on GT and loved it if you can see it he sums it up just how I feel. It's at the beginning of episode 11

    Yes a hand painted hood, I just hope they don't use a brush!:lol:

    Saw this today on the way to the VA. Looks like some kind of identity crisis.

    That was in fact a Bradley GT, tho I would be hard pressed to call it "high end" as it was based on a VW beetle platform.

    I was being a smart arse Dave it's what I do. Yes VW based, but that has 5 studs & nuts holding the wheels on. I'm not aware of any air cooled VW that has that pattern. Early cars a wide 5 & later cars a narrower 4 wheel bolt pattern. Any ideas?

    You've better eyes than me, I couldn't count the lugs if I tried! But I thought disc brake VW's had 5 lugs too?

    Since it was my picture I was able to blow the image up & look closely in my editing program. I should have stopped & looked at that monstrosity closer. It was a drive by picture taking.
