Re: no longer a fiat owner

i regret selling my bravo. on one hand i got very good money for it and it was a finished project so there was nothing left for me to do, but on the other hand i was still having fun with it and i didnt get to enjoy all my hard work as much as i could have.

saxo interiors are awful, sorry but its true.

interior doesnt matter to me its being stripped, caged and tracked..

i know saxos get a lot of bad reports so it seems but its my fourth car and my favourite, there bouncy as hell and not the most comfortable ride but makes me happy so its all good.

its not a ragged example and is very tidy motor..

got a few mods inline and should be even more fun...

10x better car imo than my fiat punto and that was a 2000 plate same as the vtr

Yeah, my old Superbrava (Supermirafiori 2000). I got so little for it, I would have been better off holding onto it as a second weekend "toy", and fixing it up.

only if they are abused mate but so do most cars if they are abused all the time...

my fiat always had silly little problems such as windscreen wiper linkage ****ing up,

new gearbox and clutch needed because the gearbox leaked oil into my clutch it was a bag of **** but sorted it all out and should be fine now...

have you seen some uni drivers, especially in a vtr

he may say hes steady, but when i go from having someone in my car (such as my mum, certain friends, work colleagues etc), i am a completely different driver with other people or when by myself
