Title: My New Run Around
Post by Matt on Mar 31st, 2008, 8:22pm
Hey all,

dont worry ive not sold the old cossie, but with its autobox about to pack up and other expenses ive bought my self summat small to do all the running round in, which gives me the freedom to get the cossie back up to scratch and thus will be my weekend toy

so here she is its a new Fiat 500 1.4 sport!

45 to the gallon round town, full of electrics and bits to play with, handles like a go kart and it just looks to d**n cool!

Nice one Matt,

Considering the amount of work that you do keeping your Scorps on the road seems only fair that you have something for a bit of fun around town  ;)

yeah, but the finance is rather good so cant complain, got me  over a grand knocked off it to!

the beauty of it, any probs i'll just bung it into the fiat garage and let them sort it, i got 5 years warranty on it plus curtsey car if it ever has to go in, as i said, its just the daily driver, so long as it starts in the morning and in the evening and behaves its self im happy and judging by the build quality i cant see it having any problems, their really well nailed together, insurance and running costs are pennies compared to the 24v too.

it just gives me the freedom to get the scorpio back in shape, i can do the manual convo now, sort out the interior (re trimmed recaro's woo!), H & R spring set, and just get her into a better then new condition

Just a quick word to say i saw Matts fiat on sunday & have to admit ......I like it.It has kept all the charm of the original model,but now has all the toys,such as A/C,multi media centre,6 speed box & one of the coolest dashboards i,ve ever seen.Matt if you come to the next show in the fiat,i have a feeling you will be swamped all day.Top marks for being an individual.

Cracking car Matt, very daring and not really me but kudos to you for being different ;)
