The Law of 500s

I think there must be a law somewhere that states

'Only one Fiat 500 may traverse a given piece of road at a given time'

I have seen a few on the road, but never when I am driving mine!

cheers

Re: The Law of 500s

I've only seen 2 500's on the roads so far and I've been in the panda both times. Thougth I'd wave but then the 500 drivers might of taken me for a mentalist so decided not too...

Do you think Aston Martin owers feel like this when they see another one???

Oh, do wave!! Since owning the 500 I've noticed all the new Pandas and want to wave at them! (Nothing against the originals, you just don't see any)

Where are all the 500s hiding?????

As for Aston drivers - they are probably way toooooooo coooool to wave.

From experiance, Aston owners are not too cool to wave........it's usually a raise of two, or three at most, fingers off the steering wheel.

Re: The Law of 500s

Thou I suppose my panda does say
N.I. ITALIAN MOTOR CLUB along the bonnet so they probably would get it that I'm a bit of a fan of the things even if I'm not driving my 500

Aston owners probably have some funky bluetooth way of waving at each other..... hehe!

Re: The Law of 500s

I've only seen two, one parked on the side of the road twice (same on with private plate) and one filled up at my petrol station. It was a 57 Plate which I though was strange. Though the were all 08's? Maybe an ex-demo or private plate I couldn't make out.

My problem with the new Astons, or should that be Martins from Aston, is that they have become too popular with the people who have money but no taste. I am quite tempted to raise two fingers of my own when one decides he (and its always a 'he') needs to be further up the traffic queue, because he has a DB9.

I still quite fancy an early 90's Virage, a proper handbuilt aluminium, (not aloominum) V8 of the old school.

Cheers

I've been waved at whilst in the 500, by a lad driving a Seicento, so I waved back.

We've also waved at a woman in a 500 whilst driving our Seicento, but no response, just a look which said, "who the f*ck are those two?"
