General So I thought I'd pop back & say hello

[Gempop]

Not been here for a long while, life takes over
But I've come back to read about what folk think of the 500c.

As much as I love my Valentino and will be sad to see him go, I fancy a topless Italian stallion now, and I pick mine up next week

Benito (the new baby) is a beaut he has arrived a month early, and I've had a little play, just hope the weather is nice so I can have the roof down!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying their cars.
Off to nosy now...

Best of luck with your new 500!

Oh, and best of luck with the weather too!

Gempop-I've just ordered last week a 500c funk white, with an ivory roof-I am sooo excited-have been looking at them for a while-hub really liked the look of the convertible so I decided to go with it-can't get enough of them on Youtube and can't wait to pick mine up-how come he arrived a month early? I've been told about 8-10 weeks but I've got tan leather interior as well so don't know if that could take any longer-

yeah Twinair I'm hoping for some good weather too-at least up until Christmas-I'm determined to get that roof down even if it hailstones!

Someone after my own heart!

I've had the roof down on various convertibles in the past in wind, rain and even snow!

FunkWhiteCinque - I've ordered a Lounge with only a few extras (in black with different alloys, extra chrome) and I was told delivery would be 12 weeks but it may be a little earlier, however, two months it is!
They've actually had him for over a week already as they thought I was on holiday so were giving it a week to let me know. It all works out lovely though, as I get it for when I am on annual leave


I just love the 500, I always said I would get another.
My Aunt loved my car so much she bought a beautiful Lounge, and I always wish I bought the Lounge too. Oh well, getting a topless one now

Fingers crossed for good weather, just hope all this rain is getting itself out of the way now!

I have it!
Oh it is just fabulous, picked him up yesterday morning and had a day driving around the Derbyshire Dales.

A much better drive than the old one, lost the bounce at the back and is a lot better at handling. I've found it a bit more sluggish than my old one getting up hills, but it isn't run in yet and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Start Stop thingy.

It was a glorious day, so had the roof down. The dog didn't seem too pleased about it in the back, but we did put her coat on, plus wrapped her up in a blanket!

Overall: Very very pleased, I love it
