Dignity be damned. At my age I need all the excitement I can get. Mind you, the knowledge that I NEARLY saw a risque photo is excitement enough. I think I should go and lie down now.

Glad to see you've taken it in good humour, you'll fit in well around here

Feeling left out slightly of whatever everyone was discussing but nevermind..

Nice pics! liking the plates on the car too, look much better than uk plates!

I saw it but my eyes were blurry from the tears so i couldn't type anything! Just kidding

Nice car too, it's very similar to mine, you'll love it! Nothing can beat this car in terms of fun!

Really glad to hear that youre liking the car!
Your Dad popped in the other day for a catch up and sounds like he is really enjoying it!

Dont forget the 3000km check over though, check your oil before the decent run too

So pleased how well the Abarth has been accepted down here! :devil:

Hiya yes I know he was down there, just got back from 440 kms and it ran great we were doing mainly a mix of motorway, rural roads, climate control off for most of the journey the majority was at 110 to 120 km/hr with a couple of dashes up to 150/km/hr..just filled it up and it took 27litres thats overall 16.3 kms per litre...the merc on the identical trip would do 10km per litre
Comfort was just fine but very firm apparently theres some koni FSDs ( whatever they are ) on the way to be fitted in a couple of weeks.

Oh really, into modding it already eh! haha

Glad to hear it is returning better consumption than the Merc!
Better looks than the merc too

Sooooo jealous !!!!

Oh well hopefully the next 6 months fly by

PS: I was going to mention that unfortunate photo when we first conversed - but could not find a tactful way....glad it has been attended to
