This summer I did a fine little trip to LeMans Classic, which cannot be done in a Z4M obviously.
So I took my trusted Fiat Argenta 120ie 1985 which was a blast, not even considering the scope for bringing home lots of bottles from Champagne.

On the way home I could’nt resist stopping at Nürburgring for some laps & the argentinian steak at pistenklause.
The laps did not pass as quick as in the Z4MC but sure was fun! A Argenta with rear mounted battery is a pretty balanced car:

Enjoy! :)

It looks as though you had a great time, and your Fiat looks great - it reminds me of the Fiat 132 1800ES I had many years ago!

What happened to you Fiat 125 Special? My 2nd car back in 1977 was a 1970 125 in that same green!

Those Lampredi twin-cams do like to rev. :lol:
Coupes because stunning!
