Picked it up at the weekend

[CIE560]

Awesome little thing, love it.

NWT, that is great! Love that little car. We saw a few Fiat 500s last summer cruising around Italy and South of France, but I had no idea there is a pimped version. Looking at the specs it seems it is a right little beast. 0-60 in around 7 seconds is hilarious.

Thanks, it is a little pocket rocket

4 hour train journey there and a bumpy 3 hour drive home.

Worth it though!

Quite a nice way to get to know your car.

I picked my old Cupra up from near Brough in East Yorks and was a 2 hour train ride and a nice leisurely drive back trying to work out how everything worked. Unfortunately, it poured it down all the way!

It's on that 1st journey back that you realise what terrible fuel consumption you're going to get!!

I'll be there on Friday. Will be giving pax laps to help raise money for the chosen charity this year.

Should be brilliant, if any of the previous years are anything to go by. See you there!

Think I saw it this morning waiting to pull out from a side street onto Ainsworth Rd in Bury at about 8:30am, with a lady driving it?

Should probably have posted in the NW spotted section

Nope, not me. Don't think I've ever been to Bury (I intend to keep it that way too )!
