Come out of the closet, admit your shame, laugh in the face of humiliation, and
be PROUD of your 
other-worldly predilections.  

Remember:  "If you can't have a car, a 600 is the next best thing."

Speak out. The Grub is lonely!

OK, I'll fess up.  I have a '62 that doesn't have doors but is mostly there. 
Except the floors.  Needs a better home than I can provide.

In these uncertain times, it's fuel economy and ease of finding a big 
enough parking space will surely make it a prime restoration candidate.  
Most cities' traffic makes it look fast!  :^)

A 600 is one of the coolest cars ever made!  Totally unique.  Totally cute.  
Totally fun to work on.  And, Abarth turned them into one of the most 
successful race cars ever.  They even routinely beat larger/faster cars like 
Porches and Alfas.  So whether you have a stock 600 or an Abarthized one, you 
can hold your head high....  If you've never owned one, you don't know the fun 
you are missing!!

If you want to know what true humiliation is, drive a 600 Multipla around town!

Alright, If we are counting non-runners then there is a '61 in my shed.  It 
was a great little car until it got flooded in Hurricane Hugo.  Its probably 
not worth restoring, but I haven't had the heart to part with it, either.  I 
keep thinking that I will replace the floors some day and put a 903 in it, but 
if it hasn't happened in the last 17 years then it probably won't.  Anybody 
want a 600 shell?

I am raising my hand for Chris. He has a Red '59 600. It's a total blast to 
drive. He also has a 500. It doesn't get much better than this.

I got one. Had it for over 20 years and finally finished the resto/mod 2 years
ago. It is a great excuse to go to Italy and look for parts (as if one needs and
excuse). Fun, fast and unusual, what more can you ask for.
