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!

Only had my A500 for 2 days and the comments have been relentless

I've had;

What the F*** !!!
How much !! for that you could have had a mini, A3, Golf etc etc etc
You must be F****** nuts
Thats a girls car that is.
Thats a hairdressers car.
If a bloke drove that he would be a gay hairdresser.
Is that one of those cars they tow behind caravans (did find this amusing)
Its still only a FIAT
You do know that FIAT stands for Fix It Again Tony / Fix It All the Time
Finally, Cool car but your still nuts

Mostly negative and mostly from work colleagues at the moment (the art of P*** taking is alive and well in our office) but I like to think they wish they had the balls to be different. Anyway I don't give a S**t !!!

I think it must be a work thing. For the past 3 weeks they have been trying to find out what car I was buying and didn't get even close until somebody suggested last week that it was going to be one of those sporty Fiat's. Nobody believed him as they were all convinced I was going back to an Ibiza. Glad I disappointed them and don't regret the A500 one bit.

Anyway it wouldn't have mattered what car I bought they would still have taken the P***

Was just packing up my gear from filming a wedding last week and there were five male guests outside having a ciggie.  As i was packing stuff away one said 'we were just talking about how lovely that car is.  Love it mate'.

According to my work colleagues these guys would either be hairdressers, gay or both

If one was the groom, I hope he was only a hairdresser for the wife's sake....

If I were you, I'd look for a new job. Your workmates either a) Have no taste/style or B) Are complete a***hole's. Either way, I'd get out of there double quick.

(Sorry about the inappropriate use of the apostrophe, it was the profanity filter)

Yep  Your colleagues seem very insecure and jealous. People were like that at the place I used to work at and it was down to jealousy. They all owned old bangers and really crappy car makes i.e. Vauxhalls. It's sad what people are like when they're jealous 

If I were you, I'd look for a new job. Your workmates either a) Have no taste/style or B) Are complete ar**h**e's. Either way, I'd get out of there double quick.


I really think this is down to office banter but I would agree that some have no taste/style, fortunately no ar**h**es. Been there for 14 years, love the job and wouldn't change (not as if there are many civil engineering jobs around at the moment anyway). One guy did say today that if he didn't do over 400miles a week just getting to and from the office he would have one, so not all bad. The ladies have said it's Cute!!!!!!!!!

As long as women like it, who cares.

I must admit that the A500SS is something of a magnet and has initiated many a conversation that has turned out to be highly productive.
