# I'm not even getting involved in this one. ;)
Just wanted to say I started watching top gear and That little Fiat is fantastic.
My sister came up to visit not long ago as she was on the Ducati corse team who were supporting North West Ducati at the British Superbikes recently.
She turned up in a Fiat 500 Arbath. Turns out that was her company car for any Ducati events on the road in the UK this year ( Ducati are owned by Fiat ).
I had a little spin in the countryside here. It was amazing. No practical use whatsoever but huge fun.

# it does look like fun.
it also looks like a small car that i could actually fit in to.

# bags of fun
but still gave me the impression of a noddy car from the outside :)

# yes, a noddy car.
being 6'6" i yearn to own a small comedy car. i nearly bought a Reliant Kitten last year, but it needed a couple of windows.

# not quite, but close
edit.... interestingly, the Kitten was designed by the same agency who designed Luke Skywalker's XP-34 Landspeeder.

# my dad (6'4")
had something in the 60s that he couldn't quite fit in, so he took the seat out.

apparently the original Mini was the only small car he could fit into. he can't get into the new minis though cos there's too much shite in them

# my dad (6'4") had a mini pick-up

# I'm not sure Smash.
It's not going to be anything like the basic 500 and will depend upon how you thrash it. I only had 20 minutes in it and Sis only had it on the few days a year she's out with the Ducati Corse racing team.

If you want real jealous then she's going to Milan for Troy Bayliss' retirement party.
