Just got a phone call from company im getting my grande punto from and apparently the fiat grande punto factory has been closed for 1 month reccently to allow workers to go on holiday or some thing similar to that!

Has anyone else herd anything about this?

Yer we noticed this when in italy at the beggining of the month. all shop times and bus times changed for a time which the name alludes me! seems like the holiday season for the italians.
 
This reminds me of a joke. :D

FIAT = Frenzied Italian At Traffic-lights.
 
I was on holiday in the canaries, and the local italian restaurant was closed all of August for their summer break, (obviously made enough money the rest of the season)
 
Looks like we'll all be waiting a bit longer for our Series 2's, as it has just been confirmed that the one I ordered back in the first week of June still hasn't even been built yet (was expecting to pick it up next week).

They're supposedly starting build next week, so I can expect it to arrive very end of October / start of November I've been told. :(

Only bit of good news is they confirmed I'll get a 5 year warranty, even though I'm not buying it from Fiat direct.
