Title: 101 uses of a Fiat 131 Abarth - No. 53 - my son Ashley's Prom Post by: simon131 on August 27, 2012, 05:33:03 PM On the 29th June this year it was my son's School Leaver's Prom (where did those 16 years go?!? ::)) at The Village Hotel in Farnborough and him and two friends asked me to drive them in my Abarth. It's a tradition that leavers arrive at the prom in some sort of exciting and different transport and this year there was everything from the ubiquitous Rolls Royce and red fire engine to a huge 1920's American 'gangster' car. Parents must have shelled out a fortune :o. Here's a pic to give you an idea of the intensity of this event - people and cameras everywhere ;D Incidentally - Ashley is the guy in the silver suit standing with his not-girlfriend Jo and mate Eric in front of the car.

And of course the 131 looks so much better as the horrible junk behind :) Title: Re: 101 uses of a Fiat 131 Abarth - No. 53 - my son Ashley's Prom Post by: Rob 131 on August 29, 2012, 09:10:45 PM Albert
Horrible Junk is a good enough description for what is behind the 131 ;D ;D. I also loathe such vehicles and am glad to report there are very few on Europe's Roads :) :) unlike some places I could mention :-\ :-\.

Big 4X4s are useful for towing big trailers and so on but I wouldn't drive one around as my daily ::)

What you can't see in the photo is that the white 4x4 is actually a stretched limo, with a 3 metre section inserted between the front and rear doors! :o It could bearly get round the car park! :D :D |
