Another Northants Newbie
« on: October 07, 2010, 09:20:13 PM »
Hi guys and gals,

I'm Tim (a.k.a superfast_jellyfish) and not only am I new to the forum, but am also new to the world of Abarth ownership. I picked up my ex-demo GPA from Rockingham Cars yesterday (06/10/2010).

The car is, as I say, an ex-demo Grande Punto Abarth, 6000 miles, White, Window Tints, Option wheels, Cloth seats and manual air-con. It was registered in March this year and is in mint condition :D

I do have a few mods in mind, namely, red stripe/mirror kit, eibach sportline springs, TCM box, BMC panel filter or other intake.

Haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, hopefully the good weather will stay over the weekend, so I can give it a good wash and get some pictures taken.

I've been lurking the forums for a month or so getting info to help make a decision on the car, so thanks guys. I'm really loving the car so far and am looking forward to being part off what looks like a great community!

Tim

The story behind the name is that I just stole the title to a Gorillaz song. Damon Albarn is a musical genius :D

Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome guys, looks like good weather tomorrow, so wash polish and pictures coming!
