That is real cool. I like it. Looks like he has a few other interesting rides, as seen in one of the pics in the background. Looks like some kind of small station wagon and a 60's Datsun or Toyota.

I see 2 Peugeots and an early Saab.

Fiat 126s are very fun and cool little cars.

Hi Jim. Is the blue one a Saab? I knew a guy that had one,(2 cycle I believe) and not very reliable, but kinda cool looking.

 I'm holding out for the new Fiat 500. Some of the things I have read about it recently though have put me off a little bit.

Was poking around on ebay. The guy selling the Fiat is also selling a 1970 Peugeot 404 wagon. It's the wagon just barely visible in the background behind the Fiat. Anyway it looks decent in the ebay pictures.

Downingtown?  He is in my neighborhood somewhere..... tempting to locate it just to look at it.. pretty neat!

Hey Matt, it looks like a really cool ride, BUT, ya never know until you look at it. If I didn't have so much going on right now I may have taken a peek just for fun. The 'almost every time' seems like a warning, BUT, sounds like he's an honest guy.

 Yea, it would be fun to look at it, hear it run and all, but since I would not be buying it, I'd be wasting his time...
