Yeah I tend to find other Fiat drivers let you in and are generally more friendly if they see another Fiat driver. I always do my best to be nice to other Fiat owners and funnily enough since I got my Cinq theres now 3 other Fiats on my street :D

Black '95 Cinquecento Sporting: Debadged tailgate, K&N 57i, Eon2's, Abarth style spoiler with brake light, Sony MD Head unit, Sony 6x9s, Kenwood 10cm & a stupidly loud 12" Pioneer Sub where spare wheel should be ;-)

Wow! Thanking you doesn't really excuse the van driver though. Van drivers are generally very aggressive drivers [V]. From my experience Fiat drivers probably are slightly worse than average. The most common reason for then being slightly worse is probably because there are so many old people in Sei's [V]

Oh, I also so a new boyracer in a Cinq near me too [V]

u kinda missed the point tho, 85 is a crusin speed! especially overtakin in the fast lane at 2:30pm on a pretty quiet stretch there was on problem, it was a realistic speed for the situation, plus it wouldnt of made any difference if i was doin 70, the guy still tried to comin into the lane i was in!

well was on myway to work tonight and approached onto this roundabout keeping in the left lane and proceeded round taking the second exit and just saw a glimse of a blue car in my driver side mirror next thing i knew a blue citroen mpv flew past the side of me neraly toyally my car the c**t so i promptly follwed him down the road shouting general abusive language at him and using hand gestures although i still dont think he even saw me then the k**b.

And by the way im a learner driver so it saids in drivers hanbook "to be carefull around learner drivers and elderly drivers as their reactions may not be as quick as yours" yeah im sure he read that carefully and took notice.
