2000 Qvale Mangusta review from North America
"A truly unique machine and experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problem: Stock Radio was working intermittently. Solution: New sound system installed.
Problem: Hood shocks were weak. Solution: New units purchased at PepBoys for $20 each.
General comments?
A well built car, that is very misunderstood by the general public (those who actually know about the car). At current used prices, a phenomenal value.
If someone on the west coast wants to have an owners meeting, I propose gathering at the annual "Best of France & Italy" car show held in Van Nuys, California. I went last year, but unfortunately I was the only Qvale there. This year it will be held Sunday, November 2, 2008 - 9am to 4pm. It's a very relaxed setting, on the grass in Woodley Park. For more info on the show see: http://www.franceanditaly.com/
If there is any interest in a nice drive after the show, I could arrange that also.
