My last beer in Italy in the Milan airport. We upgraded to business class, so it should be a pleasant trip home.

Oh yeah, I forgot. We saw some cars in Verona, and stayed in a creepy Shining hotel in Milan, where they also have a big-ass Gothic cathedral.

In international business class, you get a private cubby where you can sleep, relax, and watch movies. Once we land in SF, it is a 3 hour drive home, and we will likely hit traffic.

I trust you had a safe and memorable visit to this side of the pond. I dare say some odd experiences to recount over some fine alcoholic beverages. Lol.

Speaking of:-

Is the shoe-less daughter and cousin flying back with you or are they staying with the mother?

As a sedan/saloon as well, although I haven’t seen many. Imho the wagon is the only one with decent proportions.

Hatch, which is a bit meh:

The “FIAT, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? ” sedan:

We don’t get the saloon in the U.K..

If I recall I think the Americans get the saloon as a Dodge of some sort.

Got, past tense. It died a quick death.

Bloody hell, that was quick.

That’s got to be less time than the Astra H, that you got for one year.

While it looks like a Dart/200 it’s only slightly related to it. The mexican Dodge Neon however is a rebadge of the Fiat Tipo.

No, I think it was out for maybe three years?

Checked Wikipedia, they say four years . They advertised the crap out of that thing too, but it just didn’t go anywhere. The Chrysler 200 came and went very quickly as well.

The Tipo isn’t sold in North America and is a different car to the Dart as far as I know?
