Excited! Picking up new A500 Tomorrow
« on: January 15, 2012, 05:07:01 PM »
Hi to all. Looking forward to tomorrow as my wife and i pick our new A500 up from Sg Petch of york  ;D. It will be our first Abarth but not our first Fiat Having owned a Tipo and Punto before. This car is to replace my wires smart car which she has had for the last 3 years and wasn't fully satisfied with the whole smart experience. I am no stranger to performance vehicles having owned RS Turbo, RS Cosworth & two imprezas in the past. I sold my last impreza 6 years ago so i thought if i could persuade my wife into buying the Abarth it would please me too, as our other car is a Kia Sorrento,hence my user name. Anyway can't wait will post some pics soon. Its a boss nova white, fabric, red stripe pack and petal wheels. Looking to eventually put a SS exhaust & a TMC box on,will need to save some ore pennys first though.  :-\

Yeh I looked at that meet. Think I might be at work though. Have to do plenty of overtime now. Put some money back in the bank. Especially if I want that exhaust and power box.  ::)

What's the free key ring like? I guess I'll soon find out! Exhaust wise I've had two scorpion exhausts before which were fine. I also had a Blitz Nur Spec on my Sti that was a work of art lovely exhaust quite loud though. The only problem Blitz only make for the Japanese market. I may just go with the popular choice and get a milltek. Will have to go to a meet and listen to some different makes.
