To be honest Im not sure what the guy said, he might have been laughing at me??? I just feel odd being noticed. Im thinking of hiding it away in the garage til a few more appear on the road. I am paying the price for hassling the guys at Thames Fiat to get me one of the early deliveries at Slough. Mine came 3 days after paying deposit in mid March. Id just sold my Panda (which i loved) and was desperate for transport. The 500 is more grown up than the Panda, but the Panda is quicker and has loads of character, women mostly hate them to small and bouncy, they are not impressed!! The 500 on the other hand meets with SWMBO approval.
