I might just go out and buy an Arbath 500 as a result of this thread.

They do look good fun!
I've been browsing too, 160bhp with a remap would make it a very amusing little car indeed.

I had a Fiat Seicento hire car a few years ago. It was hilarious screaming round corners on full power at about 61mph.

My grandad has a 500C twin air in dark grey, bought it last year and uses it to visit my nan every day who's now in a home it's also easier than using his T4 camper for shopping etc.
He wated a small car and likes the twinair concept and the looks (he's ex designer/advertising trade)

Despite the loud protestations to the contrary, there are a LOT of insecure men about and it's not those driving bloody Fiat 500's.

Nope its all those that are not willing to walk down the street in Womens clothes.

Yeah, thats really going to weigh heavily in any desision I make about cars.
Fiat have always been good at small cars amd being Italian somehow they cant help making a faster one.

I like the colour - is it tech house grey? How comfortable do you find the seats?

Yeah it's tech house grey. Wouldn't have been my first choice originally but it was available and got a cracking deal so took it. It's grown on me now though and I wouldn't change it given the choice.

Just bought a 57 vintage version in baby blue with a white roof for my better half - she loves it. The immediate benefits demonstrate that this is a car that can have the opposite effect to homosexuality (nudge nudge wink wink.)

Having driven it, it is a hoot. Really wanted to hate it but just can't. The interior is a great place to be for a small car and she massively prefers it to her MITO which I also loved.

She is so happy that she has let me buy myself a new Skoda Superb. Mission accomplished.

Before you all say it i can't be a sad old man (skoda) and gay at the same time.

[Who me ?]

Right- blokes- Have ANY of you ever driven an old Fiat 500 - It's not like anything you've haver driven .No brakes, no power etc.

Drove one all over Sicily and it was just fine. Anyway, its a monster compared to the original:

I sold my racing but I was entered into a Sprint... So I raced my Wife's TwinAir

It wasn't very fast!

Of course it can, you just get in and drive it, real men can ride a barbie bicycle assured it does not effect their manhood in the slightest, only the insecure will worry.

I had a matte grey abarth go past me this morning at 0700 crackling popping bang etc etc, woke me up to say the least. Was a very fine female driver though mind
