Family dictated a 5door. Mind you it has almost the same lines as the 3 door and looks really well.

how old are kids? you see my theme park idea? its right near brooklands, there a travel lodge thing next to it, they can go there, you can come too show,

Painshill Park is near, and down the A3 south of the M25 is Wisley, and Thorpe Park is close too...

I'd love to go to AI but unlike Jim the rest of us can hardly afford the £175 return boat fare to the mainland. Then by the time we would pay for this, petrol, accomodation etc it would be the price of a holiday.
And anyway all the monies now gone on the New Punto. Oh and I have to save up for a nice set of wheels for it to.

forget the wifes then just bring jim an steve and split the cost

,,,,,,Right anway back to the jist of this thread. Looks like we pick the car up on Tuesday all being well as the 156 went to it's new owner tonight.
If things go to plan not only will we have the first Grande Punto in NI we will have the first one registered for sale as the dealer won't have their demos on the road by then. Excellent.:slayer:

go for it!! If you keep it for many years it may be worth something with having a bit of history built into it!
