Had our 1.2 funk white one week and have to say im very impressed.

I think the text messages being read out loud is a laugh and a half.

The drive is getting better every time we go out, only done 200miles but it feels as thou it is getting more responsive(might be where im applying more throttle?)

Computer is great and says we our averaging 45mpg, which i think is great as thats been a far bit of town.

Standard sound system is fantastic.

Leather seats are very supportive and comfortable, also they smell great.

The sound of doors and boot closing is very upmarket and feels very well put together, really happy and will give her another wash and wax @ the weekend then get some photos up!

Well done fiat has made us both very happy after a stressfull couple of years!

Thats great to hear, look forward to the pics. Still not seen a funk white one, or jive blue.
What colour leather have you got?

good job he has leather - wipe clean!

spun.... err i mean red leather lol.

It was between red or tan.

We tried to make it retro looking rather than sporty, our last car was clio 182 so have had a change in type of car alltogether really.

I was a bit concerned about getting this colour, it was my wifes idea and im glad we went for it, it is fantastic! It is worth the extra, but i like all the colours. Was a difficult decision lol.

same as mine then - can't wait to see it on Saturday ..... i've not seen a funk white yet, hubbie has seen one.

You will love it! Cnt stop staring at the paint, it turns a lot of heads! lol

Sounds lovely - really can't wait now! Was tempted to drive past the compound to see if I could see it but hubbie said that was a bit 'sad'.

This week is going so slowly.....

Does the paint really 'shine' in the sun? What's it like on a dull day like today - can you still distinguish between bossa nove white and funk white?

I saw one at the weekend and it looked a bit creamy in colour (sort of a pearl effect) and it looked well smart to me.

Go and take a trip to the compound Heidi and fill yer boots.

Id be down there looking for it Heidi

Oh and if you see it take a couple of pics for us.

I would do but I'm trying to save fuel as I don't want to give the garage any diesel in the crap-max but have only 0.25 of a tank left which is approx 100 miles ... it's 35 miles to work and back and i'm out on friday for the day too! Not long now though - although this week is dragging

I don't know how to quote twice but thanks j3bnl for the message about it looking creamy pearly too

What times the pick up? You wont be able to sleep Friday

Not til 4pm - the dealer had a bit of a tantrum about it being on a saturday (do people normally take a days holiday to collect a new car? I never have!) and so I think pushed me to the last slot of the day. grrrrrrrr. Saturday is going to drag I think.

On the plus side my mum is babysitting from 3pm and we've been told to 'come back when you want' (think she wants to watch the x factor in peace) so we are going for a drive round, a pub dinner somewhere...... do you know anywhere decent - I only seem to go to child friendly hostelries these days.

All there is a Funk white sport in the Colliers showroom in Birmingham.
It does look good and the sun shines off is nicely. They have put black sticker kits on it which look ok.... if you like that sort of thing.

It is like a champagne colour!

You could go to the Mountbatten, should be able to get into third gear by the time you get there.

I went to the Amberwood at Walkford on Sunday, the food is always good there. (turn opposite the Cat and Fiddle) I think they have entertainment on Saturday nights.

Multiquoting, nope, I give up - although might work by the time this message comes up, can't tell til I click submit. Walkford sounds nice..... years since I've been out driving to pubs, not since I was 18 and I used to be the designated driver all the time in my Fiat Panda! oo the memories. Thanks for the tip.

multiquoting: right that didn't work..... anyone talk a dizzy blonde through it?! I wanted to respond to each bit of the message Grimwrau (sp) wrote like did for mine, but all I got was the whole message in blue............... HELP!

When did you order your car Spunky?

I'll post pic's of my Jive blue when it arrives. The way things are going Santa will be arriving first :shakehead:

When did you order yours then? you might be surprised .. mine was on the boat one calendar month after ordering.
