Hi, recently I've seem loads of Bravo's, Punto's, Abarth versions and of course 500's round the Southampton area. Just loads of Fiat's in general seem to be showing up. More so the Bravo's and Punto's but obviously the 500's as nearly everyone has one!

Just wondered how many of you are on here? I drive past a guy with a beard in a red 500 every morning. Think it's a cabriolet. He is always shortly followed by 2 Abarth 500's. One in the grey colour, fantastic colour.

Used to drive past a guy in an red Alfa GT every morning and he used to wave without fail.
 
I used to go from Fair Oak to Southampton in 2008 red Grande Punto T-Jet now i go from Fair Oak to Chandlers Ford in a black 2009 Grande Punto Abarth!:D
I have also noticed lately Fiat cars are becoming quite common place, part of the reason i went for the Abarth.;)

That's a nice car you've got there. Probably seen you around as I live in Fair Oak as well. (y)
 
I've got a Stilo Abarth and go from Southampton to Fareham each day. The Punto Abarth seems quite good... probably a lot better on the fuel.
 
Sorry for the majorly long delay in replying. I wasn't exactly paying attention and then went on holiday.

Not done any long journeys in it yet so cant really comment on mpg. To be honest just loving the extra power at the mo, very point and squirt! woohoo!:devil:

Without trying to turn this into a thread about mpg, I did a trip to York the other week and averaged 34.8mpg on the way there, but what was with the cruise control set at 70mph. The extra power is great, especially when going from a car with little to one with lots. Although I don't get many chances to use it, as I feel the bright yellow acts as a homing beacon for the Police. What sort of power/0-60 time does yours have?


I have a red GPS T-jet, drive from Southampton (Dibden/Hythe) to Fareham pretty much everyday

! Where do you park?

I have a feeling I've seen one of those on the M27. And I saw a similar looking car in Totton ASDA yesterday. I park at the Cams Hall Estate, how about you?

I doubt it's mine lol, I travel to and from work at odd times! Either start at 6am and finish at 230 or start at 2 - finish at 1015! Haven't been to the totton adds for a while I not me!

I park In the Red Lion hotel :)

Probably haven't seen your car then. I start work at 09:00. So if for some crazy reason I decide to throw away my lay in and start work extremely early one day, I may catch a glimpse. Although I've worked in Fareham for the last 2 years, I still don't know where things are... including the Red Lion Hotel lol.
 
Haha I've worked in Fareham for a year and I'm the same! The only reason I visit here is for work so it's in and out! It's near the shopping centre, past cafe tusk (Indian)
 
I generally just come here for work, but I've sometimes found myself wandering around the shops (both Fareham and Portsmouth). So do you go to any of the Southampton/New Forest/Hampshire car meets?
 
We have a yellow multi from Hythe area often in Totton as mother inlaw lives there

Yellow w reg give us a flash (lights) if you see us about
 
I only go to Fareham if I'm working lol. No I haven't been to any! Tbh I haven't been aware of one either!

I don't think there's that many. There was the Simply Italian day at Beaulieu this year (and last). Will probably be on again next year. Other than that I think some people with 500s meet in the New Forest. Perhaps we should start something a little more frequent around this area?

Frequent would be hard for me... Always busy! But would defo try to attend a few!

Hiya! :)

I live in Morgans Vale, Redlynch so I do drive around Southampton quite a bit to see friends and family... friends more haha

I am looking for local meet ups. ie New Forest area, so yes I would be very interested in more frequent meets (y)

Am unable to find any local ones. But of course same as everyone on here I am not shy when it comes to driving haha... drove to Central Scotland and back again in one go :eek: :p But that was in my other Sei but it is always nice to go local sometimes

Maybe see you around
