........as i have another car and i sense there is more mileage for piss taking in this one!

Yes I am now the proud owner of a Fiat Panda 1.2 Dynamic

Initial thoughts are;
- If you arne't surrounded by other traffic it "feels" quick

- 155 width low rolling resitance tyres don't offer much in the way of grip!
- It's surprisingly fun to chuck about
- I've been driving it like i stole it since wed and i'm getting 38mpg

Now all i need is an SE sticker for it and I'm away !

Let the piss taking / mobility car jokes commence.

one question, did you actually go into a showroom and say to yourself "ooh, I want one of those" ?

This car was my old mans runabout , but has now been replaced by a french registered Renault Senic so was going a begging. A deal was done and i'm now the proud owner.

I was looking for a new-ish cheap car as i dont have access to another car since i split with my ex. First car was a Cinq sporting, family friend is a fiat dealer so the panda / punto was always on my list. A 100HP would have been ideal but this works just fine.

It's a cracking wee car - honest !

It also means i dont have to drive the VX everyday which opens the door to a host of possibilities
