Good morning fellow forum people!
I m new to the forum and it seem to be tradition to say a few introduction words so allow me
I m a big'ish guy (6"3/200pounds) but I ve always loved small nippy cars.
I started my motoring 'career' in France 15 years ago on a cool purple twingo (loved those lay flat seats, transforming a purple yoke in a double bed love shack). Followed a serie of unnoticable bangers and probable death traps... i m still here so i m a lucky guy I guess.
Fast forwarding to a cool Golf cabriolet bagged me my now wife and mother of my child.
That meant me getting a 320i estate then an A6 1.8t. After that I cracked up and got myself a lil mini cooper S.
The mini was a short love affair as her heart literaly exploded 2 months after I got her... ouch, my pride...
Now. last week I was on the market for a small, sensible, economical, RELIABLE second car to do my short daily work commute.
Clio? C3? 207? I even tried a Punto... And 8 years ago I sworn to myself I would never set foot in one ever again after my then Punto sporting decided to part with its back wheel... while I was doing 60mph on a back road. Amazing way to fully wake up in the morning, and to slighty pee yourself...
SO. I m now the proud new owner of a lovely little white 05 Panda 1.2(60) with 50k miles on it.
Great little car, very capable and a 'happy' car.
My question for you now is not critical but it's been bugging me:
What is that little round grille/vent on the dashboard just above the gear lever???
Does it have any function at all or is it just there to fill the space (with a hole)?
:wave:
