Hi Guys

[LNRansom]

Hey I'm new to the forum and kinda new to Fiats as I got my Grande yesterday.

Getting the hang of it now! I've been used to driving bigger and older cars! My previous car was a Honda HR-V and before that a Skoda Felicia Estate, lol.

But I'm enjoying it - it is so nice to drive and feels a bit more stable on the roads, my old Honda was definately not that good!

Cheers,
Linda

Hiya Linda, welcome to FS

Good to hear you're enjoying the grande, you'll need to put some pics of it up in the gallery!

I'll get pics sorted.

Wanting to sort out the windscreen first though - more than likely had a faulty window wiper on in the past looking at arc of scratches on the driver side. They aren't deep though - you can't even feel them so I'm hoping they should polish off with relative ease.

Hi there and welcome to FS. With that username and location I suspect we've met in person - maybe at your brothers? Anyway, even if you're not who I think you are and I'm coming across as a blabbering idiot, welcome and I hope you enjoy driving your grande

Hey, I think so - I drove round when he was working on the Seicento Pick up - at the time I had the big old Purple Honda lol. Had to make an emergency stop over so he could cut off part of the exhaust before it fell off whilst I was on the road!

That Honda is now an organ donor at Persley lol.

Loving the Grande. But need to get the windscreen sorted - previous owner had dodgy window wipers so it has scratches that need polishing off (light scratches but not fun when the sun hits them). Can't get stuff for it but brother has stuff that should do the job.

Cheers for the welcome.

Aha, thought it was you. Glad to hear you took our advice and bought a fiat. The punto should be plenty spacious enough for dogs - it's one of the reasons I bought mine

Hope your brother gets rid of the scratches for you

Thanks. The boot is actually really good, in my old car - Storm's head was getting in the way in the rear view since he likes to look out the window (the other two just relax and sleep in the car as soon as I move). Not a problem in this car!

I kitted out the boot with a waterproof dog mattress for their comfort (and also to save the base of my boot lol)!
