Mmmh. But would you really wish to buy a boy-racer car from a company that can't even spell torque?

Have they solved the vibration problem that seems to affect a lot of 500s once they have done more than a few thousand miles?

[Wheeze]

that one is ok,,,its the standard car not the fat one.

Why not salve your pain with a nice slim tasty bit of Italian motorcycle.
I just bought this:
Attachment 8472

Do I detect Rod the Rally influence in that purchase?
Don't fall off the damn thing, it goes faster than Toffer's pushbikes and look what happened to him when he took to wheels!

Totally with you Mr B. Shameful.
Of course, it wont be long before Fiat plonks an Abarth badge on the fat 500. What a gross race we are becoming.

Cool, that has retro written all over it, 1990?

Normal 500s are ok because they've stuck to the original design principles of a wheel at each corner and shedding weight. I've been waiting for Renault to jump on the bandwagon and make a new version of the 5 Gordini Turbo, the shape was iconic and you couldn't miss those arches tearing around such circuits as the Acropolis Rally.

That reminds me, i almost got one of these some years ago...



...but got a Porsche instead.

Ahhh, by fat you mean Suburban Crossdressing Soft Roader?

I've long hankered for one of the old Panda 4x4s
