My F500 Abarth

[tigerstyle]

I quite like them and the upright driving position that reminds me of much older cars.

Was gonna say! Looks like a car you sit 'on' rather than 'in' very upright, but then maybe it works well for it? Would love to take one for a spin one day

I've driven one of these and I must admit it was awesome, when my missus finally passes her test I think I'll contract hire one of these and occasionally borrow

 

[Morba]

Not a fan of that. Not at all!
At least it doesn't have the red stripe.

 

[shifty_uk]

Nah im gonna get her one the day we open her hairdressers next year when she qualifies shes a good girl, ****ing blinding i been lucky with her

She's getting a salon and a car? Not bad, eh!

No point her working for someone, he who dares wins

 

[Adam_D200]

That looks fun

 

[shifty_uk]

No point her working for someone, she who has a rich dad ultimately wins

Fixed

 

[DM]

Fixed

As long as she wins i dont care, go Kimberley!

Did you investigate the Mini Cooper S at all?
What swung you to towards this; the exhaust?

I didnt try a Cooper S, I loved the JCW but it was just to expensive. The Exhuast is brilliant I should get some clips up, its so much louder than anything that small deserves to be

Seating position is high, but suprisingly good. I actually find it more comfortable than I did my E46 which I could never sit quite right in

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Had a little ride in one a few weeks a go and regardless of their looks they are a really fun car to be in and I bet they are great to drive. I would love to have one!

 

[Cosimo]

That is nippy goodness.

 

[spaz]

I really want to like these but I personally don't think the drive is as good as it could/should be, it does look good though.

Get rid of those tyres as soon as you can though, Pzero Neros are a god awful 'performance' tyre!

 

[Swordfish]

Not my choice of car but then each to their own.

One burning question tho - where is the snow?????

 

[Maxeh]

Didn't know you had that mate!

I love the look of these, congrats!

 

[Westyfield2]

Love them!

Mum got a 500 Sport last January... unfortunately just the 1.4 16v (100HP), I tried but failed to persuade her into an Abarth!

I feel enraged every time I see one of them on the road, usually driven by an incompetent young girl. Truly horrible looking cars. That said, your interior did look rather attractive until I saw the dash

I used to think that.... then I saw Cassey Watson with her Trofeo Abarth 500. Not only is she a looker, but damn Cassey can drive!

o/t

I already bought the shop in Beckenham, shes gonna smash it there, very clever girl im very proud, and drunk

Give us a shout when you fit the shop out. I live there and I'll stick my nose through the door. If I've still got the hotrod I'll take you out and scare the **** out of you

 

[*Moangroan*]

wow they really went wild on the plastic effect inside...lol

Not a fan of the quad pipes or the rev counter on the dash.

I like the standard rev counter chasing the speedo around the dials.

Also think it should have gained 4 pots up front like the Essess version.

Nice car but I don't think I would buy one new with my money, and standard 500's hold their value too well at the moment, for 5-6k I would consider it perhaps.

What are all the buttons on the centre console by the gear knob, dual zone climate control?

 

[jon.bda]

Love it!!!

 

[rare]

Single climate standard exhaust is one pipe either side but the noise this one makes is wonderful!
