Fiat Abarth 500

Post by graemeX5 » Sat Feb 09, 2013 5:03 am

My mother In law has just swopped her Mini Cooper S convertible (supercharged one) for a Fiat Abarth 500 convertible auto with paddle shift.

Not too sure if its a  140 bhp or 160 version but well impressed at the looks and finish and it had a nice note from the exhaust a bit like my Vxr had and you new it was a bit quick and yet to have a drive.

I have already asked her to try and avoid kerbing the alloys on her new car, as I get the task of cleaning her car regularly, which I enjoy as usually its really dirty when it arrives and back pristine when it leaves.
Now: E70 X5 in Blue, 3 Minis Cooper S R53, JCW R56 & Cooper S Roadster R59 :drive:

Prev: Abarth 595C & 500C, E53 X5 4.4i, E88 135i M Sport, Audi TT Mk1 V6, 3 Smarts, 8 Vauxhalls, 4 Fords, 2 Triumphs, 1 Mini & Bikes
