Harry Potter buys a Fiat Punto

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/...iat-punto.html

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has decided to buy himself a Fiat Punto to celebrate his 18th birthday next month.

The actor - who gains access to his £23 million fortune when he turns 18 - has decided that he does not want to draw attention to himself by purchasing a more expensive vehicle.

A friend of the star told the Evening Standard: "Daniel is very excited about coming into his fortune on 23 July but he's not going to become flash all of a sudden and go on a mad spending spree. He is quite a sensible lad and has been planning for this day for a while.

"The first thing he wants to buy himself to celebrate his 18th birthday is a car. He's done a bit of research and really likes the Fiat Grande Punto. Daniel is concerned about the environment and this car has been voted one of the top five green cars in Britain.

"When a big, flash sports car whizzes past, people always assume it's someone rich or famous inside. It draws a lot of attention to you and Daniel didn't want this."


I bet once he get holds of his money he'll be slamming it on some 20's and sticking a big sub & amp in the boot!

"Very excited" about coming into £23m, I'd be ****ing over the moon; lucky bugger. Maybe he'll have some massive hardcore drug and drink fuelled birthday party and mash the Punto into a tree, doesn't look the type though, maybe a cup of Horlicks at home with mum and dad.

Re: Harry Potter buys a Fiat Punto

gawd I hope not!!!

'Not going to go on a mad spending spree' Does that not imply to anyone else that the guy is a fruit Cos personally if I suddenly got access to 23mill I'd be blowing it left, right and centre!!!

Why do "celebrities" feel the need to jusitfy every car purchase with green credentials? Anyone that seriously buys a car based on this needs a good firm boot in b*llocks.
