Saw it while driving home, realized that i have no recollection of ever seeing one actually driving. 2 blocks later a Triumph motorcycle hard tail - was customized nicely.
 
You can drive one?I thought that they were only hauled behind
tow trucks.
On the other hand - if you see more than one running under it's
own power,there's probably a meet that they're going to.

There's a used X1/9 in a used car-lot a few miles from my house.

It's sort of an ugly colour (greenish-yellow) and the prices is crazy (over $6000). Hasn't moved in months.
 
JP, there used to be a green one on Plaza Square in Belleville ON in the late seventies. They drove it in the winter so I'm sure it only lasted a couple of years. Once in a while I see a tired old brown one driving around here in Atlanta.

Cheers, Ian
 
Tonight I was driving into the city to pick up my wife, was passed by a '32 hot rod - likely not real and likely a bought rod, but, very cool none the less. It was I suspect coming back from the Applewood cruise night. later we went for supper at the pub on the corner (Sloppy Joes) and sat on the patio. Watched a late 60's Chevelle drive by (brakes locked up actually hehehe) and also saw a 66 Mustang. That being said, I was thinking again that people don't just drive their cars enough. The Fiat was being driven - which is cool. But, many cars (and even mine I must admit) spend far too much time either parked or just going back to cruise nights. sad.
 
saw it again tonight - so he's local and he's driving it. Also saw a ton o old and retro bikes. Old Harley at the bar at the corner, 70's beemer being driven with verve. 2 vespas, a triumph, a Kawasaki "rat bike" - very cool, wrapped pipes and a number on the side, looked like a circle track racer and a cafe racer that I couldn't get close enough to to see what it was.
