Abarth Day 2018 if this is gonna be anywhere near as good as last year we're
in for a good day as you guys to see I am here very early and the reason is
because I'm actually displaying my car at this year's Abarth Day which is
absolutely awesome and I'm also doing a little bit of a meet and greet this is
an event effectively where owners and potential customers can come down
experience the brand they love which is abarth and just take out some of their
cars on track see some of the heritage cars and just get acquainted to just the
awesomeness that is abarth and all its passion and character that it brings
right now you can see behind me there's probably not that much going on because
well there's no one here
we're doing this yeah? just get my seatbelt on
so last time we were together we were driving fast in a straight line yes we
were 180 mph in a AMG GTR this time we're going to drive sideways so that's
the plan let's do it
all i can say these cars are insane if you want to have fun okay
so what just happened? that is absolutely addictive okay so for those
of you who you wouldn't have seen the video because I haven't actually created it yet
I've got such a backlog of editing you probably wouldnt have seen what me and Elliott
refer to I was at SMMT with him and
Mercedes and he took me out in an AMG GTR around the big speed Bowl and we
were doing about 180 miles an hour so thats what that references to but
this is insane and again you know like I always say with with the abarth 124 spider
it's all about how much fun you can have with it it's not the fastest of cars in
the world but it definitely definitely is one of the funnest cars out there
drifting convertible roof and even more talk about fantastic and the GT GT will
be out soon as well all right okay so it's that time now guys behind me here
you've got the Abarth 595 competizione and it's about to go on two wheels this is I
didn't think I'd really say this like you only ever see a car going on two
wheels it is about to have a significant accident but yeah as you can see I have
strapped GoPros that car so we should get a really really good perspective to
drive this thing
lets see how he gets on
well that's something you don't see all the time really is it 595 being driven
on two wheels and I also managed to get the GoPros in the car which makes things
even better right what else we got I need to get some food because I'm
absolutely starving we've seen the drifts we've seen loads of other stuff
so yeah I mean look look at this mad isn't it as you do just super casual
right so abarth day 2018 so far how is it going
it's it's been absolutely mental I think there's been a huge amount of people
turn up but I'm so I'm kind of a little bit
overwhelmed as to the amount of you guys that came over to me to the little
meet-and-greet thing I was a bit worried I like one or two people who turn up
which is absolutely fine but I think we had quite a few people come which is
awesome and even after that people coming over to talk to me which which is
it I'm just so grateful that you guys are watch the video so there's been a
lot going on there's some good food out here as well obviously you could
probably see behind me there what everybody's queuing up to take out some
of the Abarth range you've got the 124 spider that's available you've
got the other cars like the abarth 595 comp and over on the other side you've got hot
laps in the 695 biposto I've already done all that kind of stuff this
morning so dont think i will do too much now but there's a lot
going on it's very hot out there you could probably see by my face I'm
actually quite sunburned but yeah overall this has been amazing so I want
to show you guys at least some of the owners cars because
there's a lot of work have gone into some of these cars so let's do that now
let's head back through the tunnel see what's going on the other side of the
stadium the one thing with being here rockingham, is it's kind of super windy
I'm gonna move my car out now with the the other owners because
it's easier to get home from there but it's been really good I think most of
the people I've spoken to here today have been really positive about the
event it's a little bit disappointing if I'm honest that we've had some people
not turn up you know people have their reasons but I don't
know personally I think about days today for everyone to come out and enjoy so
yeah mixed bag of emotion about that but yeah it's been wicked and again
the meet and greet was awesome so thank you but I'm excited to see the owners
cars because I haven't actually come outside, you can hear tires squealing
everywhere and wind noise okay it is mega windy at the moment so I'm not sure
how much you can hear me but I'm now in the area of all the owners cause there's
a fair few of them so roll the music
I think over the last 24 hours it's just been non-stop from the get-go
but it's been incredible it's been amazing meeting so many people thank you
all of those again who came down to the meet-and-greet it really means a lot to
me and I really really appreciate it but I'm going to call it a day I've got a
long way home I think that wraps it up nicely but again for anyone who hasn't
been to abarth day it's a great opportunity to test out some cars do
what you want to do with them you know get a feel for the brand and for
existing owners as well just to have a laugh
I've had a great time thank you all so much for
watching make sure to subscribe over here for Instagram if you haven't

very soon thank you very much bye-bye
