WOW.............. I've never seen one of those in real life, or next to another car. I always assumed they were BIG cars.

Here's mine next to a "real" Abarth.



Would be fun to see a four-car pic—old and new Abarths with a 914 and 981...

I still remember going to the movies once and parking my 914 next to a Vette. I looked back and forth, and realized that the rear deck of the Vette was just about level with the roof of my 914. "Wow, and I had thought the Corvette was a small car!"

Yeah. Something just doesn't look right in this photo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) That Corolla looks huge compared to the Porsche. A guy down the street from me has a Corolla and a Boxter in his driveway and the size difference is not so extreme, but maybe a Boxter is much chunkier than an early 911/912.

Cal, did you take the photo? If so, what type camera, lens, perspective, etc.?

The stalls are slanted and the 911 is parked further up and away from the camera. Also the 911 is looking straight on where the Toyota you see the side perspective.

Still looks damn small.
