back in a fiat..picked up a cheeky 93 panda from aberdeen today...months miot and tax, needs a windscreen but quite happily drove the 80 miles or so home at illegal sppeds and still only used a tenner of fuel, foot flat to the floor all the way..not the prettiest panda, but seems solid and in rude health....gonna keep it as a mobile holdall to use for days out with my manky muts and to keep the miles (and manky muts) off my m3 evo.....unless someone wants to swap it for a 750 panda....call me a masochist, but the carpets and 5 speed box just strike me as a bit pretentuious in a panda haha

...and away it goes already..done a deal for a nice 51 plate sei...gave the guy the panda and asome loot...nicer car alround but still got a hankering for a mint 750...so if you see one, let me know..

that lasted long then

Sure the sei will be a good car to you

:yeahthat:

Why you after a mint 750?

Errrrr....Hello and goodbye??!!....

without wishing to sound pretentious, the 750cc panda was, to my mind, the most perfect interpretation of the panda as a piece of utlitarian 'peoples car' design..basic, no frills as guigiaro designed it....the hammock seats, the sweet wee maintenance free engine, revvy, peppy,willing....only what you need in a car, not what you think you want.....oh, and i owned a low miler years ago and subjected it to untold abuse and neglect and it point blank refused to die....

Oh right.

Well you can't have mine, lol, cos I'm keeping it to tisy up and turn into a future classic

Well, hello and welcome to the... Oh, hang on... Where'd he go?

Must be the shortest ownership ever

Story made me smile though

Click to expand...

This is almost poetic! As an ex-750 owner I can endorse most of the above (apart from the untold abuse and neglect!)

Hope to see you back soon! :wave:
