101 uses of a Fiat 131 Abarth - No. 53 - my son Ashley's Prom

[simon131]

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  . Here's a pic to give you an idea of the intensity of this event - people and cameras everywhere Incidentally - Ashley is the guy in the silver suit standing with his not-girlfriend Jo and mate Eric in front of the car.

At least he didn't ask you to wear a chauffeurs uniform Si - Nice photo.

Ashley looks good next of the beautiful girl , I expect he has some work to do

And of course the 131 looks so much better as the horrible junk behind

Horrible Junk is a good enough description for what is behind the 131 . I also loathe such vehicles and am glad to report there are very few on Europe's Roads unlike some places I could mention  .

They have their uses I guess. Big 4X4s are useful for towing big trailers and so on but I wouldn't drive one around as my daily

No chauffeur's uniform required Kev!

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! It could bearly get round the car park!
