Oh God, I love it!

I know it's a Fiat but hopefully it won't break down too often

Really love her though, nippy little fooker.





2.0 litre 20valve, revs to 8k and is a crazy little thing! I'm in love folks! Same engine as the Fiat Coupe and it just sounds fantastic.

In the next few months I'll be going for a performance exhaust, chip and filter to give it that little bit extra.

Well Happy

Mine's a mk1 so it's 147bhp and doesn't have variable valve timing but my insurers and my budget wouldn't let me have one of those

Paid £1300 for her. About 8 sec 0-60. Not super quick but still a lot of fun.
