Richie's 500SS
« on: December 18, 2011, 02:42:12 PM »
After about two years of membership on this forum patiently waiting for my Fiat Punto lease car contract to finish, finally, I can post as member with an Abarth - purchased a 500 SS on Saturday.

I love the car as is but have already purchased a TMC (yet to fit) and will most probably get a monza in the new year when it goes in for a service. The car is better than I envisaged, really enjoyed my 150 mile drive home on Saturday!  ;D

I live near Epsom and have seen a few Abarth 500s around here. Anyone local give me a shout!

Not many of them like cars so they have no clue. They drive around in rust buckets so it's an arguement I am never going to win.  ::)

Lol we had the 1.2 POP, which we kept for a year then got the A500SS, got asked the same question :-) why did we buy a body kit and exhaust as I dropped a gear in sport mode, and "holy smoke" were the next words ;-)

Lol there are still a lot of peeps out there that don't know what an A500 can unleash lol
