My First Car - Abarth 500

[Mikey1993]

Hey everyone thought I would post about my first car. I've had it for just over a month or so now and really enjoying it. It's a 15 Plate Abarth 500 Custom with the optional 17"s on it. Had my license for over 4 year and never drove anything except a trackday experience before I got this but I think it makes up for the wait lol.

Nice! Enjoy!

Are you going to the Abarth Day at Rockingham tomorrow?

[Mikey1993]

Thanks I have been so far, found a good few roads to have some fun on. Unfortunately not as i'm in Scotland and i'm working tomorrow night so although the car is pretty quick it's not quite that quick (speed limits and all that as well) lol.

Good effort for a 1St car, alloys do look good!

Thanks I waited long enough I felt I had to get something decent haha. Yeah was happy to have them on it as the others I looked at had the standard 16"s on them, the previous owned has kerbed the fronts in a few places around the lip but I am looking into getting them refurbished at some point down the line. It's only done just over 16000 miles and feels pretty much like new, I will get more pics up soon just been busy driving lol.

:Ahh the buzz of your first car! Enjoy buddy that looks lovely.

Cheers man it was great to finally have my own car the feeling hasn't wore off yet anyway. I'm still driving everywhere for the sake of it, most of my mates don't drive so I have became the defacto taxi at the minute, which as long as they pay for petrol or that is fine with me.

Ha yeah that happens. Enjoy it while you can before you get your knickers in a twist like many on this forum

Top marks for first car choice! I’ve got an S3 comp, so in love with it! Took me a long time to talk myself into getting one, it’s not the most practical/economical/sensible..but holy sh!t it’s fun! Love it! The sabelts are something else too.

Enjoy it, and sport mode always on!

[Mikey1993]

Cheers was looking at 595s but thought the 500 was enough to start with, haha yeah sport mode always on. Not one for really taking many pictures but finally took another one yesterday.

Perfect first car. Looks good OP. Have fun, they are so mod-able. That 1.4 is tough as old boots.
