After expanding my 20 x 25 garage to 20 x 50 I wondered how many cars I could fit in it. Four,five maybe six? Hell no! I just measured the Fiat 500 I have. It is 4 1/2 ft wide and 10 ft long so If i packed them tight I could put 20 in there! and still have room to open the door on the last one in ! So get rid of those big muscle cars and buy these babys in bulk. Then you too can say you have twice the shop you really have!

The sad part, and reality, is that a car like that is all that a large majority of people need for daily transportation. Find me one, I'll drive it to work every day, and if the wife and I can get back to the same shift we'd both ride in it.

I would seriously like to have a car like that.
I've had my eye on the current Mini Coopers, but the current price tag is about 5x my "drive to work beater" budget.

You fit in that thing?
If you had a bunch of Citroen 2CVs you could park them right up against each other and climb out of the "sunroof"! :thumbup:

More pics of the Fiat. I think it's pretty cool looking with the larger wheel / tire setup.

The pic make it look like it has the drain pipe as exhaust

I took an MG Midget in trade when I worked at the Ford store. The service techs bet me $20.00 I couldn't get in it.... I lowered the top and slid right in...

What they forgot was I owned a TR3 and I was used to snaking my lardass into small cars.

When I took that picture the engine was out of it. Once I replaced the original engine with a 330hp turbo STI engine It put the rear end back down where it shoud be.

Neat little car Bonanzace. Is that an older Fiat or relatively new model?

330 hp in a 1500-ish pound car? Wow, talk about a sleeper.

It is a 1957. Two years younger than me! It has a tube chassis under it which puts the weight at about 1000 lbs. It is not done yet so I don't know how out of control it will be.As soon as I get the final inspection on my shop addition I will finish it. All i have left is to wire the stand alone engine management and finish the plumbing on the cooling system.
