[Roadsters] Just your thoughts OT Fiat 850

[Jim In Virginia]

Dave,

They are quite painfully slow for modern traffic, takes quite a while to get
up to 60 or 65.
Other than that, if you can drive an old roadster as a daily driver, you would
be able to survive the even less creature comforts of the Fiat, I think!

One last caveat, they are Italian.  Unusual and expensive things may break at
the wrong time!

Best Regards,
Jim
