So after just over 4 years of ownership I sold my car today after 45,000 miles of very happy motoring.

The new car looks great, and I really hope you enjoy it but I guarantee you’ll miss the 595...

How did you get on value wise? Did you lose much?

£3,500pa don’t know if that good or bad but the first couple of years was on service plan so no real consumable costs other than tyres.

What I can say is that I would happily lose £3,500pa to have as much fun in that car as I’ve had. I even got. My mum over to the Nurburgring 3 weeks ago for its farewell thrashing and she found it a right laugh overtaking some of the bigger stuff.

Reading your thread a week ago or so convinced me I needed a cheap fun car, que today I picked up a 2010 Abarth 500 with a few mods.. what an absolute blast it is, genuinely the most fun I've had since a few of my classic minis with c20xe, turbos or 1460 engines.

I'm also from near Portsmouth so was hoping to see yours out and about, guess not now after your last update 😂

Could I ask where you got your alignment done in Southampton though, definitely need mine checking I think

The wheel alignment centre in Southampton. 02380332906 he gets booked up quick but is brilliant and cheap, down by ikea/docks.

Always happy to answer questions if you have any issues.
