This Fiat looks better and better with each passing day. A future classic.

Have you tried running it on Vpower? I have had two cars with this engine and I found that Vpower made a significant difference. I also found that it responded well to a good thrashing, I am not sure it was just blowing the crap out of th cats or if the ecu adapts to how it is driven.
I've run my 124 Lusso on everything and it makes no discernable difference at all.

The window thing, I'm on my second winter in mine now, I just take a plastic bike drink bottle of warm water out to the car when it's frozen. Squirt it round the edges of the driver door window then open the door. Start the car up, switch the bum warmer on then squirt the rest of the water on the screen and get in the car and go.

Oh, and the Fiat (rather than Abarth) 124 doesn't annoy the neighbours with the un-necessarily vocal exhaust. And it does the scampering around thing almost as well too.
