[Spridgets] Le Macchine d'Italia (No LBC)

[TMHEFFRON at aol.com]

When I was at U of Iowa in late '70's my 'poor student' car was an  
incredibly rusty $ 150 VW beetle.  The fact that my  neighbor drove a Renault 
Dauphine made me feel better.

Yeah, but it was really, really, really  cheap wasn't it?
What did you expect for that price?
I remember test  driving the 850 Spyder in 1968 because it was the only new
car I could  afford to pay cash for (musician-no credit).  I passed, but I
was  tempted. I think the deciding factor was that in road tests, it  was
actually slower than my '63 Renault. My Caravelle had a Weber carb,  Koni
shocks, Abarth exhaust, and Pirelli tires, but it was still slower  than all
but the slowest VW  bugs.
