Features a 500L!
Maybe a welcome boost for 500L sales, or will it put people off?

Nice bit of free advertising for FIAT I reckon.

I took the use of a 500L to be a bit of a **** take - i.e nerdy bloke in nerdy car. Not saying that's my opinion, just a thought.

Well, if you've seen the trailer there is no ****-take involved...just ****-give to Peter Kay
I think it might do the 500L good, at least it's publicity. Hopefully the script doesn't involve it being an unreliable Fiat anyway...
It's not shifting in great numbers, like pretty much every other Fiat apart from the 500.
18,000 Fiats registered in the UK so far in 2015 and 13,200 are 500s! That means the Panda, Punto, 500L, Qubo and Doblo combined have only mustered 4,800 registrations between them all year. Mad really - anyway you can see the stats in the zip file at the end here:

Thought the car looked quite good and spacious on the TV but why has it got black mirror covers ,not white? Personally I hope that it does not sell too many , maybe it is a bit selfish but it is nice to drive something a bit rare ��Well, if you've seen the trailer there is no ****-take involved...just ****-give to Peter Kay

It seemed to cope well with the p*ss-spraying in the first episode (better than his shirt, anyway)
The reg WR62XDF Suggests it's one of fiats early demo cars as then officially launched the car in March 13 so they're all 13 plates and newer
Having watched half the first episodes it's fair to say Peter Kay has lost his touch because it's god awful!!

Yes totally agree. I am a big fan, particularly of his stand up shows but this series is just not funny at all, a big fail and I've given up on it TBH.
it must have a lot of people who do like it as it was a big hit on iplayer before going onto tv apparently

I quite enjoyed it and will watch again this week to see how it goes, personally I prefer him in this kind of thing (and Phoenix Nights, Max & Paddy etc) and am not really a fan of his stand up stuff. Different strokes and all that...
Also noticed the dirty rear screen but this was probably deliberate and done for the sake of filming continuity.
Don't know why the seats were partly covered up but there must have been a good reason as they'd obviously gone to a lot of trouble!

I noticed this also as the seats looked "plain" or even out off focus .Now if he stops to make himself a tasty espresso using his optional Lavazza coffee maker, that might do something for sales!
It looks like they've covered up the logos on the upholstery for the interior shots though.
I can probably understand it if there are Fiat logos but it is just the Oscar Wilde quotation
I must say I am not loving this but I will stick with it and see if it does get better.

Did not think you could misfuel with Smart Fuel ?
My thoughts exactly. Also, when did Royal Mail improve on their delivery service? I wonder how they knew who the exact Rose? was to deliver the Birthday card
Smart fuel? What's that?
