Hello 100% noob to the fiat family

[Otnuptaif]

Good evening one and all,

The name is Darren, brought my first ever fiat the other week, x plate punto elx,

The reason for this is I am moving away from work location and wanted something a bit more economical than the Vauxhall Zafira that I had

There is myself, my partner Lorna, step children Connor and Kimberley, and our daughter Lexie. Also there is my eldest step son Jamie who moved out last year, and ( I promise these 2 are the last of the children) my children from a previous relationship Marc and Hollie.

I am a lorry driver who will be training up for my class 1 licence in a couple of weeks ( for those who don't know what class 1 means, the big lorrys that bend when they go round a corner)

I'm a classic car enthusiast who back in 2005 set up the local (classic) mini club and ran it for best part of 8 years.

So far I have been impressed with my little green machine.

No doubt I will be asking questions etc as time goes by

Thanks for having me
Dareen

Hi Darren, and welcome,

good little cars the Punto,

cambelts are important - 16Valve, keep an eye on fluid levels, otherwise pretty sound
