Happy Christmas everyone!

I got a camera and since I have owned this car a few months and not posted any pictures I thought now would be a good time! Especially as I cleaned it last night and did my back in:(

Not to everyones taste I am sure but I love it:D

Standard 500 but with a remap:o Not had it tested yet but should be between 160-170bhp and 270-280 NM. And also a magneti marelli quad exhuast which sounds fantastic!! It pops and bangs when you change gear, makes the car. The standard exhuast is way to tame.

Love them... for women, I'd love to get one for the GF.

However I'm sure it's fun to drive, and if you like it then great :)
 
I know, I was afraid it was to girly...but then I drove it...and now I love the little thing its so much fun:)
 
You are not from Leeds are you? Looks the exact same one I drove past a few months ago in the City Center! Sounded nice, would love to have a play with one :D!!!
 
my mooney would go on almost any car but that.Not that its bad (ifact its supose to be good) it is just to cutisie for me clearly designed with women in mind.

im sure its great fun! did you try any other cars?
 
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 :p
 
Not from Leeds no:)

I did. Drove a Clio 200. Owned a 172 cup a few years ago, had all sorts of cars over the years. My last car was an auto 330Ci E46 so bit of a change. Also drove a JCW Mini R57.

Just drove it and loved it, had so much positive reaction to it everyone wants to know what it is:) I know many people dont like them, but its given a few cars a good go so far :D I liked the look of a guy driving a Focus ST who couldnt get passed me as we came off the lights on a dual lane down to a single 50 the other night. I think he was a bit gutted.

Didnt you used to have stuff like an AMG merc, 330Ci and a mint 328i Sport?

Seems a bit of an about turn from older performance cars to a brand new supermini?

Click to expand...

Thats what my daughter wants for her 18th birthday :)
 
I did Fox. I just wanted a change to be honest. There isnt a really rational explenation for it other than the fact that I love the little thing!
 
Must be a bit nippy, those little matchboxes are really light :D

The 500 is just that little bit too small for what me and the biatch need out of a modern. shame, because otherwise I quite like them and the upright driving position that reminds me of much older cars.
 
Did you investigate the Mini Cooper S at all?
What swung you to towards this; the exhaust? :p

I agree about the driving position - it is awkwardly high. But then so is the Clio..
Enjoy it all the same :D
