Have you been Pandered yet

[RalphM]

I was asked Have you been pandered yet some time ago, well not yet but today
a Fiat rolled up and parked next to us, two women got out both 70's or 80's the
driver was dressed very brightly with what looked like a military beret on her
head, now round here anything Fiat will be a Panda like mine a 500 or a van
these two got out of this, apart from being a Fiat I haven't a clue what it was
but get the impression they were growing old disgracefully.

Looks like a 124 (built in Japan..
alongside the Mazda MX5)

Dont forget.. when those ladies were 'young drivers' FIAT cars were huge sellers
Including the 124.. maybe they really are 'Reliving their youth..'Beret et al'

Good on 'em

Someone likely said nana why don't you go get yourself a nice little Fiat.

Thats a Fiat Mazda. None the worse for that though. I thought about one but that was five years ago and I decided it was too difficult to get out. I now know i was right!
1 I definitely couldnt get out now, and that is bad news. Looking foolish is embarassing
2 Its apparent that some older women can get out and thats even worse as the embarassment would worse, and the women in my household would ensure that I was never allowed to forget my inadequacy.

I don't know if it was imagination or not but it looked bigger than a MX5

Like every other vehicle.. its probably 'grown' due to Crash Protection regs

The 124 was heralded as what the MX 5 was lacking : Power

Mazda then upped the power
