New Abarth 500c from Bath
« on: October 17, 2011, 01:04:23 PM »
Hi all,

I've had my Abarth for just over 2 weeks now and it's BRILLIANT, just turned 1000 too so racking up the miles.

Any other fans in the Bath area?

Welcome here, and lovely looking car especially when it is naked - the red paintwork sets off the lines very well. Did you go for the MITA gearbox or the manual gearbox? Mines is the former.

1000 miles in two weeks? That's pretty serious driving indeed.

I have been to one Bristol meet and hope to come down again soon.

The car's clocking up the miles only cos I use it to commute daily.... but it always puts a smile on my face in the morning!

Loving it even more now the exhaust has bedded in and it sounds even better with nearly 1300 on the clock!

Looking forwards to seeing more A500 's around, I'll try and wave if I spot any in Bath / Bristol! :wave:
