| Fiat Barchettas parked in St Seurin d'Uzet for a Sturgeon tasting. |
We were in the Charentes Maritimes near the Gironde over the weekend and got caught up in a small traffic jam of Fiat Barchettas who were on their "Entre Terre et Mer" three day road trip. We decided to pull up with them and they went and did the same sturgeon tasting that we had done in the morning. Being British I hadn't come across too many Fiat Barchettas before as they were only available in LHD. They are a pretty little convertible sports car that was built between 1995 and 2005.

| Fiat Barchettas after 2000 had a third break light in the middle of the boot. |

The Barchetta had 4 cylinder 1.8 litre engines that powered them to over 120mph and a 0-60mph
time of under 9 seconds. Barchetta mean boat and refers to the shape and is often used to describe open top Italian sports cars.

Nearby in Port Maubert we came across some Storks nests. Hope the Barchetta drivers got to see them.
