LOL!! Very true! However my uncle (who is gay) looked at my car and the F500's and only wants one so he can cuddle it

I must admit - mines new and I want to just sit in it at the moment and drive to nowhere useful!  Lots of cute 500's here in Brighton, but not seen a black one yet!

That's how I still feel now, however funds don't allow me to do that A black F500 came up behind me a few days ago along Bear Road and drove towards Woodingdean, so not sure if he's a local or a visitor (Sorry to burst your bubble..)

yesterday on the day I purchased my new A500, my mate phoned me to ask how my day was and I blurted out

" I am getting an Abarth "

obviously mobile reception ain't great so he said

" ok mate phone me when you get out " 

another mate text me today with and said I should get this number plate GA10 RDS 

I am finding this whole girlie car quotes, my wife can't understand why I want one and has said she won't be going out of an evening in "that", but this afternoon has asked if she can drive it when I get it, I then said NO not after the abuse you have given me and the poor little car! lol

I was in the petrol station on the way home from collecting mine and I was the only person there parked on the forecourt. I filled up (with premium   ) and strolled into the petrol station with a spring in my step due to my newly acquired purchase, and said to the guy behind the till. " Pump number 2 please."

He looked down tapping at buttons to bring up the price of the fuel and said "The Fiat yeah."

To which I replied "No the Abarth."


This caused the attendant to pause for a while and he actually looked out of the window searching with great difficulty for another vehicle on the forecourt. I could see the confusion on his face whilst he turned his head from left to right looking for a second car. After a short but extended period of time I became very self conscious and just had to concede, "yep its the Fiat."

At which point he turned to me with a look that said 'well why didn't you just bloody say so.' He then read the price out to me with a shocked look on his face confused as to why I would want to put premium into a Fiat 500. So I paid up and then scuttled of back to the car, and started it up.

'Hang on a second.' I though. 'I'll show him the difference between an Abarth and a Fiat.' I revved the engine allowing the Monza to exercise its full vocal range and roared off the forecourt. I looked out of my car into the station hoping to see him salivating with envy through the petrol station windows, only to see that his attention had been fixated on a tv screen the size of a postage stamp whilst he watched the world cup.  

so funny yesterday, sitting by the pool, the word has now spread I am getting an Abarth, all the boys in the big car looking at me like, YOUR WHAT, all the wives coming over to me and saying how cute the car is, did I get the red leather, " ooooh I want one " one exclaimed.

I haven't even got the car and its reputation is already a magnet, although not sure about it being seen as a women's fashion accessory!
