Based on a

I see, the term "Swedish designed vauxhall" is quite loaded and implies vauxhall couldn't design it themselves so they farmed it out to people who knew even less than them...and Fiat copied it mistakes and all because they knew even less still

I wonder if anyone waxes nostalgic about this croma, or the previous one?

Very decent car. Driven by Michael Schumacher no less.

I wish I could drive his Fiat Croma, or his 500 Abarth!

I hated Michael when he was an F1 driver for his antics, but I have watched ever since his accident in the hope that he might recover. He was very special and highly talented. Its an unfitting end. In reality I am convinced he was a very decent human being and I still wish him well.

I'm of a similar mindset, i always prefered Damon Hill and know Hill was robbed one year by being rammed. But Schumacher was an icon of the sport, not for me really, but its a lot like if Bobby Charlton, Ian Botham or Jack Nicklaus had been left disabled and unable to serve the sport. A shame but thats life.

I don't know if you saw the recent Connor Benn v Chris Eubank Junior fight? But anyway I didn't know the fight was happening until Chris Eubank Senior was announced in the hours before the fight to be attending, after making up with his son. I don't watch much boxing these days but it was a great fight and Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Senior being sat together watching their sons made a great spectacle.

My point being Schumacher could have been there for his son, and done commentary etc. to add to the sport.
