I understand the 100hp model is by no means common, but since picking mine up friday I have been driving around berkshire, surrey and London and am yet to see another 100hp!!! Dont get me wrong i like being different and owning a car thats a bit different, but it would be nice to see a few others in all their glory (cars that is ). Are there any owners living in Berkshire? Has anyone suggested a southern gathering of some description?

By the way im very pleased with my new orleans blue 100hp, cracking little car in every respect!! I will be posting some pictures up when the sun stays out long enough for some photo's .

I rarely ever see them.

I saw a grey one at work today but it was so dirty that I guess it is just a demo car. They really are rare!

there will be some at mitcar, see events section

Could have been mine (if it was in Bristol) before I went to those very efficient guys on Hartcliffe Way - spotless now - great cleaning for a fiver!

I seen 2 recently one owned by the guy at the dealership PLUS one I saw on the day I picked mine up, as I left the petrol forecourt.

Rare here too.I've seen Two Grey and a Red since I got mine in March
I wonder what is putting people off?the motor mags have had a full page advert in for weeks.Still I don't see that many 1.1/1.2 Pandas either

Because it’s a Panda!

As much as we love them and the motor press have gave them great feedback and reviews it all boils down to the UK motorist which are simply like elephants and if "Fiat" didn’t put them off enough then "Panda" most defiantly did and they didn’t get as far as looking at "100HP and Sport" ...

I am not bothered though as Id rather be one of the few with these little beauties that one of many!

Cheers

It was parked in Bradley Stoke Tesco so I doubt it was. I have seen a couple of grey ones about, although it may be the same one and a black one. None of them wave though lol

That's because they are too busy wondering "Where did that lucky s*d get a WHITE one from?"

Haha.. too right

I had an eleganza which is in list number 15 of how many Panda's. I didn't think that I could get anything better. I had it for 3 years with not one fault and loved it to bits .
And then the 100hp was released. What a baby. I had to have one. It has been my pride and joy for 2 months. New Orleans Blue with a factory fitted sky dome. It certainly makes heads turn. But I have to agree I have seen none on the roads down here in Cornwall. I know that a white one is running around and a blue one was sold from the same showroom a few days before I picked mine up but both have disapeared from sight.
Anyone out there hesitating to buy one take my advise and go for it. There is nothing in its class that can beat it (literally) not only on speed but on cornering and we have lots of corners here in Cornwall. By the way I am no spring chicken 60 years old this October but it makes me feel like i'm 21 again so that can't be bad.

Great to hear!

I should be taking mine to Cornwall soon. Somewhere round by Launceton [sp] area so I shall have a look for you if you are anywhere near there!

Hope you have a good holiday in Cornwall. The weather can only get better its been very wet of late.
Let us know if you spot a 100hp at the top end of the county as I am from the Hayle area way down west.

Mine went to Launceston last month for a holiday,stayed at a place called Hidden Valley which is also a Treasure hunt adventure park and well worth a visit

looks like more than 2 pandas will be at stanford then......nice

Just after i posted this thread yesterday evening, I started my journey home joining the M25 heading south from J25 and within 10 minutes or so I spotted a grey 100 hp on the other carriageway!!! Making it the first one i have seen, unfortunately i didnt see the numberplate. But hey here's to being nearly as rare as rocking horse s**t!!!!
