Fiat related stuff that make you want to slap people basically.
People who say "Fix it again Tony" whenever I mention I own a Fiat. I've owned dozens of Fiats over the years and only ever had two break downs. I have never owned or driven a Vauxhall that hasn't broken down, two Fords caught fire on the road, my old 190E gearbox failed on a motorway so the rear wheels locked luckily I dropped the clutch and rolled to the hard shoulder, one of my BMWs vandalized itself on a hot day and the only person I know with a similar name is Toni and she can't tell one end of a spanner to another.
Fiat's are no more or less reliable as any other car I have owned.
Another big bug bear for me at least is whilst looking parts for my Mk2 Pandas 1986 750 and 1988 1000 Fantasia I keep getting asked if it's a 2003-2011 model.
Mk1 Panda 1980 to 1986
Mk2 Panda 1986 to 2003 with a facelift in the 1990's.
Mk3 Panda 2003 to 2011
Mk4 Panda 2012
I know it's a silly little thing to get annoyed about but you can waste a lot of time looking because people don't know the new Panda is the Mk3. :bang:
P.S Go on have a rant it'll do you good.
