Hi

Hello all,
Been an avid reader of the forums for quite a while now and currently on my third fiat which is an abarth sei, thought I'd say hello this time as I'm probably going to be on here a bit from now on asking for help as the sei is a bit doggy to say the least!!
Already got a few questions lined up but I'll post them in appropriate sections

Hmm, maybe one question should be 'why do we do it?'

Benjo

Owning a Fiat is like a disease. Once you get infected it stays with you for life and you also try and spread it to others

Re: Hi

Lol,
Yeah it seems like an addiction!! I can see this costing me more than substance abuse!! I knew the car was likely to be expensive but I wanted an abarth and it was cheap so I took the plunge! Might be better if I knew the right end of a spanner to hold, I'm as much use as a chocolate fire guard when it comes to mechanics
Clutch, cam belt, various steering bumps and knocks to sort out before I even start on the rust that's appearing - just cost me £30 for a new blue key!!

I love it!

But this is an incurable and progressive disease Phil! Once you get it there is no known cure, and it generally gets worse to the point where you can't stop buying/ driving Fiats. None of my medical training can help stop this condition.

"Just one more and I promise I won't have any more. Just one, honest. I can handle it, I really can. Can't I?"

They will send you to the depths of Hell, and then to peaks of Nirvana over and over. I've never owned a make of car quite like them. I'm beginning to think Fiats should come with a health warning
