That's a good one.
Do you drive another car yourself or will you just have the one car ?

A bit of a classic. Had a neighbour with one for years and he ended up getting a new one. He said he preferred the old one. Nice 'complement' with the 500 but I know which one you'll be using the most.

SAAB's quality pre-GM was much better.A bit of a classic. Had a neighbour with one for years and he ended up getting a new one. He said he preferred the old one. Nice 'complement' with the 500 but I know which one you'll be using the most.
After owning an Uno, Uno Turbo i.e and a Lancia Delta HF Turbo and dealing with build problems and electrical faults, I never thought I would fall in love another Italian car!

I take it those cars and in particular the Lancia were back in the 80's. I knew there was some petrolhead blood in there somewhere.
I'd imagine the Saab was in your 'sensible years'. You might be tempted into a Twin Air yet.:devil:muffin8118

yes, those were the days and I got rid of the Lancia in the early 90s as I needed to be "sensible" with young ones in the family. The 93 CV (my 4th Saab) offers a less frantic drive with smooth power delivery as I had it chipped! 30% increase in bhp and Nm. I have no experience of the turbo charged Twin Air but it sounds interesting as I have always like turbos.I take it those cars and in particular the Lancia were back in the 80's.

I'm 22 and I LOVE my Fiat 500, it's just so much prettier than all the other cars on the road It wasn't age that surprised me with this car, it was how many men I see driving them! I thought it was a real 100% girl car, and since I've got one, about 70% of the others I see have men driving them! Not that I'm sexist, it's a great car for all ages, sexes etc. It just surprised me.

When I returned to my car in a carpark today there was a guy in his late 50's starring into my car. When I approached the car to get in he hopped into his son's modded Civic VTI and then asked me was the car mine. I said it was and then he proceeded to ask what kind of an engine was in it and also mentioned they seemed quite popular. When I gave him a little info on the car he seemed quite impressed that it packed 100bhp to match its girly looks. We had a little chat about finding some empty roads while his son left his car idling and we threw in a few words about safe driving.
My first car was a Fiat 850, then a Fiat 850 coupe then a Fiat 127 Sport. The 500s in the early 80s couldn't be trusted to get you home. The new one will.
