500 New York 2 San Francisco!

Ciao!

Well, it all kicks off tonight as I'm heading to Dublin for the flight to New York first thing tomorrow morning were we'll meet up with our 500 thats been in the States for the last 3 weeks for an epic trip to the West Coast and meet up with a few fanatical 500 fans along the way!

Barry (Novapanda) will keep you updated on how we're going and if you get a few seconds it would be great if you'd have a look on my webpage www.littlefiatbigadventure.com and if you've time leave a message of support so I don't look like 'Jimmy No Mates' LOL

Thanks for all the goodwill on here and I hope you enjoy reading about the trip on here and if you have a spare 2 quid why not sponsor us at www.justgiving.com/fiat500

Jim

Have a good time,

I bet you can't find a yank to do the reverse !!

a) they don't do small cars
b) how many can afford our petrol prices
