Thanks, it's an on going thread, but unlike the other ones where people are modding their cars, mine stays standard, i just go to different places and share my experiences as much as i can! I guess it just proves that this car is pretty fun in standard form (apart from the TMC box) the only thing left to do is drive it! I used £40 worth of fuel on Sunday
I'm trying to keep people interested by doing new things, taking new pics and making new videos. Hope I'm doing a good job!
Quite surprised with your driving if im being honest, it's not all that bad, ever thought about doing a track day? Would be another great way on how to enjoy your car.

Not a big fan of trackdays, never been to one so maybe I'm assuming too much. But it would seem there are a lot of people trying to prove something out there, and there are so many rules and regs. I'm not trying to be anyone, i'm just myself, i know my limits, i know the cars limits. Out here in the Wild west, there's no one to judge you, there's no one to get in your way, there's no one to tell you what to do, it's freedom!

I'm hugely impressed on what you've done in your spare time (Too much of it). One of my friends basically does the same thing as you do but his is a Lupo GTi. Have you thought about taking your 500 to shows?

If i had a girlfriend, things would be different, i'm sure i would have far less spare time! Even most of my mates have moved away, so it's just me and Abi 90% of the time, not that i'm complaining.
What kind of show? I'm not really a "show" kind of guy, i prefer to be out there driving, feeling the passion, experiencing the joy of the welsh roads and improving my ability. There's not much to show really, it's just an A500 with a few stickers on

Oh right if thats the case then it doesn't matter. Yeah my mate goes to the West Side event which involves only german cars. I'm sure theirs and Italian car events.

Another one from the Triangle which i forgot to post!
See the wind turbines in the background? Also, that's not a huge cloud, it's Snowdon caked in snow!
Might want to put a watermark on that picture - FIAT might steal it and put it in the brochure - it's a good'un!

Done sir
Please use the image for personal use only though, thanks
PM Sent. Shame I left Aberystwyth uni to go to one closer to home, would have loved to see the car in the flesh. Finished Uni last year.
Not seen one close up yet. Only driving past me
