    Yeah, but I never crash any of them! By the way Euroncap is highly overrated in my opinion

    i like your Fiat 500, its the Lupin the third car. I hope that you can race it against a Citroen 2CV, and the old VW Beetle at a vintage event someday, because that will be pretty funny.

    Gardin maybe this will give you a smile: An old girlfriend of mine once owned (and really loved) her navy-blue mid-1960's Fiat 1500. Like most Fiats it was a gas to drive. When she finally sold it she kept the badge and we placed it on a specially constucted wooden plinth to remind her of her wonderful Fiat and the good times it gave her. Of course the badge said 'Millecinquencento' (1500 spelling? ) the longest badge we'd ever seen!

    I don't think that I will race the 500, i tried drifting it and that is the most fun you can have while being scared silly.... The Autobianchi and the Seicento are the ones I race. I have also raced in another Panda, which outran an old Porsche in a hillclimb. It's the one in my profile picture.

    Welcome to UCP, where you'll find some people who share the passion.
    I do too. And there are so many I'd love to own...
    Check "Henk's Oddball Corner" on the classic car forums. You'll find some cars you like.
    Check this member too, as you guys have something in common : http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...light=fiat+850

    Crashing an underpowered Fiat almost requires intention.

    Many crashes are caused by drivers falling asleep under hard acceleration.

    4 Little Italians in your stable Gardin - you must be a glutton for punishment

    In all serious you've got a lovely car collection. Who says you need something big to have something special and classic?

    You guys would be amazed by how reliable an old Fiat is. They rust, it's true. But that apart, it's the most reliable car we ever owned. It's from 1967 and it's engine was never fixed. We use it often and I do all the revs until the the red line with no concern. It pulls fine and cleanly. Can't say the same about the Miata at this moment. It's misfiring because of some electrical little problem. Something a 67 Fiat never suffers from.
