Hi there
Just wanted to introduce myself. I must admit I've been lurking for ages.
I've just gotten myself (well, bout 2 months ago) a '08 100hp Pandamonium in black. I absolutely love it.
I'm a bit of a petrolhead (as are a lot of you here by the look of it) and love my cars and bikes. Before the Panda was a 350Z and before that a Porsche.
Unfortunately, I was made redundant at the beginning of the year. So, the Z had to go and the search for a cheap, fun drivers car began. It didn't have to be balls-out fast as me CB1000R sorts out my speed needs :slayer:.
After a lot of research the 100hp looked like the perfect car. I've always had a soft spot for little Fiats. My first car was a 127 in red and my second a 127 Sport in black packing a mighty 75hp - well, in reality probably about 60 . I loved that car right upto the point that it got bent by an old lady in a Volvo. It had no chance really.
So I've sort of gone full circle.
A major factor in my decision was the generally positive reviews but particularly the Evo ones. I always thought that they were a bit too complimentary about the Panda and that it just couldn't be THAT much fun. In fairness they got it just about right. Its not perfect but its bl00dy good enough that you forgive all its frailties. Even my missus loves it. She's got a Copen which is great fun and a lot better than you would think but very impractical.
So, in summary, Brilliant Car
By the way, this is a great site. I've already fitted an Aux socket as a result of the info on here. I hope I can help a few people along the way.
Cheers
