General New Panda Owners

ive only seen a sky blueish one with black bumpers kicking around huddersfield. not seen another one even on my trips on the M1 and around the East Midlands. I've expected to see more to be honest. Where are y'all hiding?

Smurfhead - would trade as Gaz but bit confusing with another guy with the same car on here with the same name. lol

Seicento Sporting (2001)
 
Ordered mine around 13 weeks ago now, an eleganza in vanilla yellow, im still waiting and the dealer thinks it will be here in around 2 weeks.....cant wait.

yellow cloth, and very nice it looks too! The blue wasnt available with vanilla and anyway saw a green car with the blue interior... urgh! Trust me, tell your wife it will grow on her, anyway its more a mustard colour!!!

Well i finally picked mine up today after a 14 week wait!
And yes it was worth it. Trouble is they forgot to put front fogs on it so its got to go back next week for fitting. Ive had 3 previous Fiats over the last 6 years but this is by far the best quality one ive owned and it was half the price of my HGT Bravo!
Its probably one of the only LHD cars in the UK at the mo as im moving to Italy in a few months. [8D]
 
Its superb quality I agree, done 2600 miles now and loving it. Its such a shame that they messed up the paint and PDi because it would have been faultless otherwise!!! Wher in Italy are you moving to? Must be a great feeling to get away from this country, Id love to!

Im moving 30 miles inland from Ancona, which is central Italy (opposite side to Tuscany, on the Adriatic side.
Its up in the foothills of the sibillini mountains, about 30 mins from some of the best beaches ive been to.Blazing hot summers and very snowy winters (should have waited for the new 4X4 really)
Just me, my wife, 2 dogs and a large farmhouse with 28 acres of pure heaven. Dont get me wrong i think Great Britain is a wonderful country but politics have just about destroyed the place. I cant wait to get out of here!
 
Best of luck in Italy, you are so lucky! I agree that politics have ruined the UK, I doubt if anywhere on earth has such a diverse and eccentric people as us though! I would dearly love to live in Europe, but dont have the cash or language knowledge to do it|)

I dont speak the language that well but im thinking that if im thrown in at the deep end i'll pick it up quicker!
As for having the money, the cost of living out there is less than half what it is here. You can still find decent old farmhouses for under £50K, its just a matter of taking the plunge and finding a way of making your quality of life better. As borders dont really exist anymore,its not that difficult to do. If it doesn't work out there for what ever reason, then i'll just find somewhere else to live but i'll never return permanently to the UK.
 
Wow, I just checked your profile and you are roughly the same age as me. I thought you were older, sorry! How are you going to get on with work etc? That would be my main worry!

Im an Architectural modelmaker by trade and may be able to get some work that way. I also have an HND and a Dip H E in Building surveying and will eventually get a job surveying. If money runs short then ill have to come back to work over here with my old company for around 3/4 months a year which is not ideal but i cant really complain if i have a holiday that lasts 8 months of the year can i!
By the way Nuova Panda, did you only get 1 Remote key with your car or did you get 1 remote and 1 ordinary key?
 
Got one remote, one normal. Thought that was a bit mean myself!
Im a train driver and have been on railway all my working life, so no other trade. Cant see a lot of demand for English speaking drivers in Europe!!!
