The Flying Seat 850 Coupe
Monterey Fiat Festival
August, 2000
While driving my 1967 Seat 850 Coupe in the Marina Autocross I was able to experience first hand
one of the legendary  handling quirks of the Fiat 850 semi-trailing arm rear suspension.
 My Fiat America Car Club friend Dave caught  it on video.

Above is a vintage photo of an Abarth Zagato with very similar suspension 
performing a similar feat at  Willow  Springs in 1960.  Note the bizarre 
position of the driver's side rear tire and then have a look at the scuff marks
on  my driver's side rear tire's sidewall below...

At least  people now realize that I have absolutely no sense whatsoever.
