I passed 500 miles today and I have started to push the revs a bit higher. This engine has so much power that I am finding it difficult to keep it around 70 MPH. It sits so happy at motorway speeds, this thing is a real wolf in sheep clothing. It's really catching my attention now, what a gem.

Thanks for the reassurance- I found the Twinair fine when test-driving a 4x4
Panda on a fast dual carriageway, but as I'm swapping from a 95HP 1.3 diesel
Alfa Mito, it's great to hear how yours is running

The Twinair engine's character will help offset the loss of Alfa panache

It puzzles me why is the up compared to the Panda, the size, drivability, design and performance is not something you can compare with inferior quality vw up. Everything i see the up , i laugh ad it looks a pure 5 year old toy while the Panda looks and feels grown up.

well today I have done more than 1200 miles I was driving at 80-85 today on then motorway wanting to get back home I usally drive at 60-70 going to work ,it is a beast when driven on normal power mode my front rises up in the lower gears due to axlereation and the brakes are nippy when you touch them
