There is a certain disproportionate level of FUN to be had from a quite low powered car with the wheelbase of a scotch- egg !.
Makes yer feel like your actually driving the thing rather than just along for the ride!!.
Puzzles me how Fiat managed to so much body roll into em! ??? must be due to having springs and dampers that came out of a biro pen that does it! nothing quite like the feeling when you go into a corner slightly to fast!, and the suspension unloads and yer cheepo budget tyres give up! lets you know your alive for sure ( but for how long who knows!)
fear and fun go a bit hand in hand id say!

Doubling the power/weight ratio..

More than just "V-Power" I suspect

I see plenty of detail touches there, very nice

"Most fun car I've ever owned" I would echo that about all the Pandas we've had. Certainly not the fastest or best road holding but FUN, oh yes, in bucket loads!

I've owned only Mazda's from 1971 (though sadly not an MX-5) and my first and only non-Mazda beats 'em all for sheer fun. Perhaps more suprisingly (to me anyway) it's turned out to be almost as reliable too.

Chipped ? 69 > 135 bhp ! Give me a clue what I can do with my Twin Air Panda.
It’s my winter car with GV4SeasonsG3 on.
My summer car is an 2L MX5 Mk3. Perfect combination.

The best tuning mod i have done on my stock 1.2 500 is never to take the wife out in it! keeps the weight down and power to weight ratio up!+ the really annoying" your going to fast"! alarm never goes off either!

I've got one of them. Fortunately it's more usually installed in the Mazda. Of course that means there are two (female) voices telling me I'm going too fast! The satnav joins in for good measure with "You are over the speed limit" - which I'm not! The dashcam displays the actual GPS speed and I go by that, while the inaccurate car speedo says I'm over.

I have found that me bum is a fairly good indicator of how fast im going!! perhaps thats why its called a"seat of your pants feeling"?

I'm saying BS unless we have details of the mods and a dyno chart.

I flatter myself I'm a reasonable judge of speed after 52 years on the road but I like to drive right on the edge - if the limit's 60kph I want to be doing 60kph, hence the HUD in the FIAT.

I must admit the Twinair 105 S was probably the best car I’ve owned.
Although I’ve just swapped it for something a little more powerful.
I’ll let you know how I get on
