The Fiat Duna designed by Italdesign Giugiaro The Fiat Duna is the wagon version of the Fiat Uno, which was produced before as 2 door version for the Brazilian market called Premio.

But did you know that he also designed... drum roll please... my first car? 🤩

I learned about this yesterday when I was finishing my investigation for this homage, and found it so deeply amusing.

Full disclosure: I know he designed the Uno (car the Duna is based on), and not credited on Wikipedia.

Also these crap machines are wrong so often that you really can't employ idiots who don't know to do the thing without it.

They need to at least be able to notice when the crap machine returns, unsurprisingly, crap.

But there will all be finding out the hard way.

I really hope it goes your way, bud.

I'm also ignoring everything AI related, and that means "staying behind" in my line of work (software engineering).

I am ok in my current job, but if I had to look for another one, I suspect I'd be in trouble because of that.

Hope I don't need to find out.

I'd give a like to my own post if doing so wasn't lame.

Consider this your last warning to get the above earporn into your system.

And yes, you're very welcome.

You see? You ARE funny 😝

I'm sorry to read that, Craig.

It's an insult to your abilities and dedication to such report.

I hate this.

I'm thinking out loud here, but...

If I found one that was "reasonably priced" (and it being at least decent) out of AliExpress or something so people could get it easily, and if I designed a "Motocompo inspired kit" to go on top, maybe people would want it 😂

I have some research to do 😝

I own a 3D printer.

What stops me from buying something like this and building myself a "Motocompo at home"?

Honest question 🤔

Might possibly be the best looking wagon from Alfa. So, so good 🔥

Join me on wishing a happy birthday to the legendary maestro, Don Giorgetto Giugiaro!

Giorgetto, Car Designer of the Century, was born on August 7th 1938 in Garessio, Piemonte, Italia.

He designed both supercars and everyday cars, as you can see in this simple homage you will probably recognise.

And on your taste, also firearms and... Maybe a basketball? 😅

Such a career ❤️

Giorgetto Giugiaro smiling with a pen on his hand. Buon compleanno, maestro!

So that's it! Giorgetto has very recently been involved in a car accident, for which I hope he recovers fully and quickly.

Other than that, just public thanks for creating so many iconic and beautiful things in our lives.

Happy 87th birthday, maestro!

Did you ever own any car designed by him?

Over the years, I have inadvertently drawn many of his designs too! Here are some:

• Fiat Duna
• Fiat Panda (on a t-shirt you can get at my store)
• Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA (from the Alfa Romeo 111th anniversary homage)
• Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV (from the Alfa Romeo 111th anniversary homage)

Even if it was an "Italdesign Giugiaro" design from when he was still there, I believe it's such a cool thing to find out around this celebration time.

Here's a picture of my very own car back in the day. Had so many stories with it. Owned it for around 8 years and I cherish it deeply.

We all know his major hits in the automotive industry, like the:

• Fiat Panda
• Volkswagen Golf
• DeLorean DMC12
• BMW M1

Among so many others to list.

He has not only designed cars, mind you.

On top of cars, he has also designed motorcycles, camera bodies, firearms, watches, and believe it or not, even a basketball!

Funny you mention that!

Welcome back btw!

It's a really good museum. It has actually spoiled me a bit. Been there last year around this same time, for a "Supercars of the 90s" temporary exhibition.

I hope there's some differences from my last visit, but even if not, I have changed and will enjoy it differently.

Looking forward to sharing!

Just sent an email to Louwman Museum to see if they let me in a couple of minutes before opening time, to get some nicer pictures.

I'm 99% sure they'll say no, and I would just be happy if they even get back to me.

But I have to do everything I can to bring the best possible to you, my community ❤️

Never before.

Never again.

These aged so well.

Does it get added to that same bookmarks feed or is it different?

This is great info really! Thanks!

But I'm too scared to watch/listen to it.

I didn't even make the time to properly share it here for you all to enjoy.

I kinda want you to watch it but also not, due to the same "silly fear of you thinking I'm ridiculous" or that "why would anyone be interested in my life, my story, my taste?"

😅
