[Spridgets] FIAT

[Larry Daniels]

Back when the 240-Z first came out a buddy of mine and I each bought one. 
His wife took a liking to his car and would take it every chance she got 
when he wasn't looking.  In order to get her to keep her cotton-picking 
hands off of his car, he bought her an X1/9.  Fun little car.  A little 
anemic, but it handled really well.  That mid-engine design gave it really 
low polar moments of inertia.  Damn thing was one of the most tossable 
(street) cars I ever drove.

The inoperable headlight motors, and the water mains to the front are 
weighty.

The one sitting out back is, um, ... lighter?... yeah, that's it....
lighter.... naturally...
