Judging by the van in the background of one picture you live in North America, so how did you get that? I assume it's an evaluation car?

edit: Please post interior pics.

JIMINNI Jul 22, 2008 05:52 PM

Hah hmm..........Looks like Luigi from the movie "Cars" :lol: Very cool :thumbsup:

Judging by Msfitoy in front of the 500, you would be right!:lol:

I won't tease anymore...it is probably the only 500 in the country right now...just got registered by our studio and I have it for a while to play with...:grin::cool:

Dude thats a cool car! I LOVE to see 100% Euro cars. My parents went to England and other places and I just loved the car pictures they took for me. Closest thing to a "non american" vehicle around me are some cars and trucks from Mexico.

gnatster Jul 22, 2008 07:32 PM

Know a guy named Tony to keep it running?

kenchan Jul 22, 2008 08:45 PM

pretty cool, sid! :thumbsup:

Donna/Mike Jul 22, 2008 09:00 PM

That's awesome! How do you like the way it drives???? We need some scoopage...:nod:

I know LOTS of us "cough cough" older people may have owned a Fiat (Me) and I loved them. My first Cabrio was a 124 Spyder.....yellow.....I'd love to hear the run down on this one...:thumbsup:

Donna:cool::grin::cool:

Mozza Jul 22, 2008 09:08 PM

Maybe I'm blind but to me it's hideous. Gotta love the exclusivity of 1 though! Put one of Fiat's big sibling's Alfa in your driveway and I'll be a jealous boy!

FIAT.....

F***ing Attempted Italian Transportation.

I know of what I speak. My first car was a '69 850 Spider with all of the FAZA/Abarth goodies. (Shivers with the memories...)

It's a bit "soft" for me...shifts very silky through a nice 6 box, very nice interior trim, more upright seating position...but, it's no Mini...wallows through steering inputs, motor is so quite, I have to keep an eye on the tach to make sure I upshift...not enough power to get out of it's own way...would make a nice cafe cruiser... :lol:

I wouldn't call it ugly, but it's definitely a unique look.

Have fun! Thanks for the great pics.

Looks like a big engine hood gap on the passenger side near the base of the windshield.

Car looks great...congrats. It may not be a spry as a MINI but it would still be a very fun car to own. :thumbsup:

Z06?

AKIndiMini Jul 23, 2008 11:47 AM

How'd you manage to be one of the lucky few to evaluate one of those here in the US??

SYCO GT Jul 23, 2008 12:24 PM

The headlights look MINI-eque to me. Looks like an aerodynamic engineer had their way with the MINI and then baked it in a huge oven and melted it further.
