I don't fit.

reminds me of the Honda Pace Micro Car a friend in Tokyo had. He had to take the car apart just to make it possbile for me to get in.

I have a picture of myself in it somewhere but it was so small I couldn't drive it even if I wanted to.

Worse than the Mini's in England with the zero knee room.

Even smaller than the Smart car I looked at here. That was great until I closed the door and found out it was so narrow I had to drive with my arm out as my shoulder stuck out the window. I thought maybe I found my easy to park, Euro Mid engine car but no too small.

I hear the new one is a little bit bigger.

I would rather have a Ferrari.

My Dad almost bought one of these when I was in Highschool. He bought a '78 LeBaron station wagon instead. Easier to sleep in and haul garbage but the Ferrari would have been so much more fun.

I have a Marauder, I don't need a station wagon.

But I don't know if the Fiat engine transmission can be made automatic.

I thought about getting a Ferrari 400. It is front engine RWD automatic and a great car, but just lacks that something special.

Also looked at and almost bought a Maserati Biturbo (bee Turbo). But wow do they have maintenance issues.

Forget the BiTurbo, its so tempermental and problematic, it should have T*ts..

I have been looking at and considering one of these since moving back from England.

I looked at several kits in England but the best one moved from 5 miles from my doorstep to the czech republic about 2 weeks before I took notice.

I also found the English Mirage Lambo kit and the similar but different company American version.

Try to find a Ferarri 308 or 328 GTB. Much better styling (at least IMO) than the GT4, one of the real icons of the 80's. And should run you less than 25K (I think the 308/328 series still has the largest # produced of any Ferarri, so they don't quite have the rarity inflation of some others...)
