Did anyone else spot.... - SV650.org

The Abarth when we were heading to Barmouth? It was coming the other way, away from Barmouth towards Llanelltyd/Dolgellau.

For those that don't know what they look like, it's this (and it was identical to this one except the tinted windows):

The driver was shifting it a little (as you would in that car), and was actually on the wrong side of the white line when I saw it, but I can forgive them as they quickly moved over.

I forgot to mention it when we were stopped.

Yes I spotted him. He was getting a fair crack on and I was impressed how flat it was cornering.

It looks like it may of just been me & you Mike.

I dunno, these bikers are supposed to have decent observations.

Yes Baph I did spot him as I was behind you mate , I pointed at him as he was on my side of the road a bit and I gave him the "Stern hand of Naughtyness" and motioned for him to tone it down a bit ...... he was fairly hoofing it though , I thought it was an Abarth but I swear I saw Red and Green stripe on it ?

i seen it too, dinky aint they (it was a female driving it i spotted that too)

06-04-09, 08:09 PM

I didn`t pay that much attention as Baph was taking a nice line on a right hander and that thing came scuttling around the corner on my side of the road a bit , They guy with the Red Pointy was behind me at the time so he would have seen my friendly gesture towards the driver

What is so special, a fiat 500 with go faster stripes, why bother? after all it is a bloody fiat, small, unreliable, rot boxes

Certainly not something to have a wet dream over
