(G) My cento story

As someone recognized the car in my avatar, I felt I should explain my story

It all started in the early summer of 2004.

Every year as part of the kingston uni karting club we compete in the le-mans 24hour kart race. In 2004 the week before we were due to go, one car was written off, 1 car blew a gearbox. In need of transport one guy stole his sisters cento and we found a local number plate company selling off a 900cc cento for next to nothing with 160k on the clock, without MOT, or tax. passed MOT first time and we taxed it and because it cost us £130 all in, we abusing this poor little car.

The car was a car of legend. It went all the way to lemans and back and didnt miss a beat despite pure abuse, we added some colour for pure comical value, crashed it into ditches general abuse. and when we cam back gave it away to a young family with no car.

Now in need of something that doesnt cost me £70 a week in fuel on my commute and fun, I bought another cento, and and now starting to mod it (no recent pics)

anyway pics say a 1000 words

wat happened to the 160k one.

Fancy a cinq S for next time i do a rally

God damn I'm good

there seems to be a explosion of cento owners down near me where are you abouts now?

when we got back from lemans we gave it to a young couple who couldnt afford a car and were expecting a baby. We all have other cars so it was ours for only 2 weeks (but what a 2 weeks).

Well done for noticing it

Im based near gatwick but still at uni in kingston quite often.

Nice end to a story, hope it still going

We've all done this,lol


Haha,great stuff


Great fun,hurts when you fall off tho

can i just ask why it has abarth headrests but its not an abarth

They look like sei abarth headrests to me, anyone can go down to a scrappy or whatever and get a set of headrests

somebody bought them for the car, it has also has an abarth steering wheel, centre caps and light covers. It came with the receipts from fiat for the abarth items

ahhh that might be why
