picked up our lovely little 500 yesterday at 4pm !! :D
we've decided to name her magpie - because she's shimmery and shiny. and perfect.

i was in fits of excitement when we finally drove off in it. no more walking miles into town. in fact we went to a proper supermarket for the first time in about two months !
i haven't managed to take any photo's as of yet, it's been raining non stop and i've just brought a new camera which i haven't taken out of it's box yet :)
i can't drive it because i haven't got a license yet so i'm jealously sitting in the passenger seat watching my dad having the best time driving but we're both grinning from ear to ear with excitement.
it drives brilliantly and is just so much fun. we keep looking out the window to check it's safe and smile every time we see it :D
i know some people are not so keen on breakbeat grey but i love it, it's even nicer than i thought it would be and the chrome mirrors are great. the whole thing is amazing.
my mam loves it more and more everytime she see's it, which is good seeing as she's the reason we really need a car.

the dealer gave us no freebies :( and rather sarcastically said "i'm going to give you a keyring that's a bit "special" because i'm good like that"... dun dun... a citroen keyring... wow... how wonderful... aren't we lucky. yeah, that came off the keys as soon as we got home :)

and yes, we're smiling and nodding to fellow 500 drivers we pass already :wave:

so we're super chuffed with her and even though it was a long, painful wait, it was soooooo worth it.

i promise to post photo's as soon as there's even the tinniest bit of sunshine and when i can figure out how to use my new camera !!

ps. thanks to everyone on here for keeping me sane during the wait (y)

Glad you've got your car :) It's obvious that it means a lot to you in terms of mobility so have fun and get some pictures online :)
 
Aww Elsie I am so pleased for you and your family (y) ...you have had a very difficult wait and its lovely that you are so delighted with it :) Don't think I've seen one in your colour, so will look forward to seeing it ...ENJOY :D
 
Yeah for you, better get your studying cap on and pass your test, so you can get behnd the wheel.

"i'm going to give you a keyring that's a bit "special" because i'm good like that"... dun dun... a citroen keyring...
:eek: "bit special":confused: more like a lot WRONG :mad: ... if you told FIAT UK that they gave you a ****ron 'ring he/she would get their butt kicked BIG time

Yeah for you Boo for your dealer...

Is there any chance of not having childish name calling against other marques?
 
almost forgot about changing the signature... yay, finally an "owner" :D

will be learning how to drive it soon, just need to save some money now and then i'm definitely getting my license in time for my 21st in may :)

rang fiat cs mentioned the citroen keyring, they thought that was ridiculous :nono: the lady there who helped us alot is going to call back sometime tomorrow to sort out a welcome pack too, which the dealer didn't give us.
 
Congrats Elsie, hope you'll be very happy together - and she will be a great incentive to pass your test!!

go looky please :D

she's been rained on quite abit and up close is looking a little grubby. looks like i'll be obsessively cleaning her soon :)
