Evening - and hi.

Been lurking on the 500 pages for a while now, in addition to my regular haunt on the Panda side of the fence.

After a lot of deliberation and test drives, I'm now the very happy owner of a 67 plate 500S twin air 105 in Electronica Blue. It has the larger 16inch wheels and part leather interior with blue accents and a 6 speed box.

Picked it up today and enjoyed a brisk drive home before it hailed down. Very pleased with it and looking forward to a longer drive about tomorrow.

I'll post some pictures at some point. It's now tucked up on the drive with the Panda :D

I think I will be leaving the Sport button ON :)
 
As promised a couple of pictures.

Just brought a set of black 500 Sport mats with electric blue trim, and four seat belt racing pads , black pads with the word Sport in electric blue from TEMU around £2.50 each pad with free postage. Only had the car a week. 110hp and six speed , two wheel drive at the front. The Sport button only seems to tighten the steering but I have not gone over 50 mph yet. 2014 model in electric blue,
 
So, after almost 5 years and 49k trouble free miles, the 5oo has a new owner.
My sister in law has run her 169 Panda Active for about 6 years, so is adopting the 5oo and having a bit of an upgrade 😀

I gave it a good clean and de dogged the interior. It came up as new. If I had the space, or didn’t have Manda the Panda Selecta, I’d have kept the 5oo, but my latest acquisition literally only just fits on the drive, with just an inch to spare between it and the bay window wall.

I’ll be sad to see it go, we’ve been all over the UK, mostly with a Greyhound sleeping in the back.
It will only be a few miles along the coast and I’ll still get to drive it and remind my sister in law not to drive in the dark with just the DRL’s !

Still has the Fiatforum sticker in the rear, as she lurks on here when little job’s on the Panda have cropped up.

I’ll still pop in on here, as well as my usual place in the Classic Panda Section.
