Ok, if nobody else is going to rock the pun-bus, I'll relent.
Ding ding, all aboard, tickets please, next stop is Groan Central.

It's 'a Fiat worse than death'.






I think I like the wheel trims the least.
But it's very close between those and 'everything else.'

Did it came with extra set of batteries for multimeter? :mrgreen:

When they work, they can be as good as any other similar level car, but it is Italian car, in your climate Italian electrics just can't work, they work only when there is dry and sunny, you don't get too much of that, right? :lol:

But if one can live with quirks, there is no denying that it is cheap motoring, parts are cheap, fuel economy is not that bad and some models don't even rust too bad, however some rust faster than one can weld patches to it.

Good thing is that now you need only shiny bald head and learn Italian to be a Montalbano

1:30 here you can see the car, no matter where he drives tires do squeal and evertime when accelerating from standstill he floors it and tries to make a burnout or that it sounds at least, oh poor cars they really do abuse them in that series :lol:

Here you can see car at beginning, hard to find any clips where he starts off...

Also car is chick magnet if you believe in that series, or is it that bald? In every episode there are some chick, quite funny series in many ways.

So if anyone asks why on earth you bought one, you can use that as excuse :mrgreen:
