Collecting my new Bambi on Tuesday, I’ll be sure to add some more photos when I finally get to spend some time with it!

Introductions / A RE-Introduction
« on: February 21, 2019, 10:58:37 PM »
Good evening one and all!
I thought I’d take the time to re-introduce myself, as back in 2015 I had a beautiful little 595 which had to go much much quicker than ever planned.
I’m more than pleased to say now though that I’m back! I’ve just put a deposit down on a 68 plate Adrenaline Green Trofeo which should be in my hands over the coming few weeks, and I’ll be looking to get involved in future meets and events!
I’ll be sure to post photos and all that jazz when I can take some decent pictures of my own, but in the meantime just a quick question...
I know the Trofeo was a Limited Edition model once upon a time before the Series 4 facelift and it looks like it’s on the production line again generally now, but various sources online seem to be under the impression that the new Trofeo is also a limited run of some sort but I can’t seem to find any proof of this so I wondered if anybody could clear this up? I’m more than curious because it seems you get more for your money than the Turismo and it’s bizarrely cheaper?
Either way I look forward to getting involved with the Club again! I’m based in East Yorkshire now so I’d be happy to meet up with anybody around the area once my bambi arrives!
All the best,
Jim

General Chat / What do you do for a living..?
« on: February 08, 2016, 05:49:56 PM »
I simply didn't know where this might sit on the forum so I hope you don't mind.
With everybody saving for new things and tricking their wheels out with new parts I often wonder what everybody does for a living.
Another reason I ask is because I'm looking for a change in career, I've worked in Music Retail for about 4 and a half years now but want music to remain as a hobby, since now work life and my hobby (playing in bands) have both kind of bled into each other and it's not as enjoyable any more.
I'm simply looking for inspiration at this point, have any of you guys been at this crossroads before? Any advice you could give us kids?
Bit of a random one I know, but still I hope you don't mind my nosiness.

General Chat / East Midlands Abarth Facebook Group !!!
« on: February 06, 2016, 07:44:30 PM »
(( If this is in the wrong place please move it, sorry! ))
I know there's the "Abarths Of Middle England" Facebook page already, but there's nothing going on around where I am at the very least. Even since I got my 595 not even 2 months ago I've seen 4-5 regularly around my area with no raving mad drivers sadly, so this is my attempt at getting some people together. If you know anybody who's around the East Midlands/East Anglia/whatever the hell you call where Northamptonshire is then please get them involved, I'm dying to meet some Abarth guys around here.
Seeing them more regularly is making me more and more frustrated that I know none of their drivers. Especially that one that loves to run away on the dual carriageway when I chase it on the way home!

Your Abarth / Officially "One Of Them" (Scorpion Black 595)
« on: December 17, 2015, 08:14:52 AM »
The day finally came! (Yesterday)
I rocked up to my local dealership and my new baby was just sat there in it's own little area looking super cool! (Motorvogue Northampton don't fully do Abarth yet, it has to be done somewhat through Motorvogue Bedford) so I had the most stunning car in the building! After drooling and not knowing what to do with myself I finally got in it and Nathan the sales guy went through everything with me, I must say I'm well impressed with every aspect of it. I got to test drive one a couple of weeks ago but I forgot how sturdy it felt, and last night I got to use the sport button…
I won't bore you with any more cr*p, however I'll say my friend drives an Alfa, now he wants an Abarth too, so the conversion has already begun…
Here's some pretty bad pics of it, but I'm sure you'll get the idea..
I can officially say I drive an Abarth now and I couldn't be more proud. Looking forward to seeing you at future meets!

Introductions / Northampton!
« on: December 04, 2015, 12:55:26 PM »
Yo!
I'm James, I'm 22 and I'll be picking up my brand new Scorpion Black 595 in a couple of weeks having purchased it yesterday at my local Fiat/Abarth dealer. I test drove one yesterday and needless to say I fell in love! This is going to be my 2nd car having before owned a Pug 107 1.0, it was a little something to get used to upon test driving yesterday, but I'm mega excited! I don't know an awful lot about cars but that's why I'm here, to make new pals and learn stuff... Me and my girlfriend are more than happy to attend any events that may be occurring any time soon and it would be amazing to see your "whips" as well! I don't know what else really to say at this point, but I'm sure as hell I'll be taking pics like mad when I get her!
J2 AWX is the plate I'm going to be putting on as of march, as I say my name is James, but address me however... Looking forward to being an active member of this forum and making some new friends! xo
