New A500 - Esseesse Owner :-)
« on: October 17, 2010, 05:28:12 pm »
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I have been a member of this forum for many months now and have been reading your posts with enthusiam. I have owned a FIAT 500 1.2 Lounge, and as an everyday car has been superb. However, I am a complete petrolhead and have always wanted an A500, so this morning I popped down to Rockingham Cars and have just bought an A500-ESSEESSE (picking it up on the 30th Oct) - Now, I've got almost 2 weeks to wait!!!!!
Here's the spec
A500 white
Red leather interior
Red side-strips with red mirrors
Auto-dimming rear view mirror
Climate Control
ESSEESSE Kit - With White wheels
Monza Exhaust.

    See if it's more fun than the GT3...

    I'd give thought to the Koni shocks before the Monza for a real improvement, then get the Monza after you've saved up a bit more and appreciate the noise.

    Are you a PH fan too??? Guess my username gave it away......Guess I'll be able to use the full rev range with the A500 on the road - GT3 is super rapid and can't really max it out on the road - On the track, however, it's a different ball game altogether. Have been invited to Rockingham on the 29th - day b4 I get my esseesse and will be driving a few A500's and might take the GT3 for a few laps too

    It's the username.  But as a seasoned Abarthisto (it doesn't take long) I searched your other post from August.

    In the absence of my own track I've always thought most cool cars a bit of a waste.  The Abarth is great for normal life; an Elise is too impractical otherwise my hard-earned would be there.  I think you can get away with much more on a bike, but why would I want anything bigger than a 600?

    I need to do more trackdays.  And/or have loads more cash.
