Introduction
G'day all.
Just joined... just finished my first week as a Panda owner
As a model, the Panda has had a troubled life here in Australia, partly because they overpriced them but I also wonder if people actually knew what it was (it, most definitely, is not just another little car). Anyways, it meant that I was able to pick up a dealer demonstrator that they were desperate to get rid of because they aren't importing them any more - kinda good (coz I got a good price), kinda sad.
Anyway, I've quickly learned to love my little beast and am even getting my head around her weird handling (previous vehicle was an MG ZR160 - rather different). She's got that lovely TwinAir motor which, I feel, is what gives this vehicle most of its character and some truly remarkable driving characteristics.
My daughter reckons she's small on the outside but huge on the inside... just like the Tardis, so that's what she's being called. She's been on her first run with the Fiat/Lancia club which involved some exuberant hills driving and about 10km of dirt road courtesy of a wrong turn.
