I'm possibly looking at getting a daily drive in the new year and have always liked the 500 abarth (hmm i wonder why... small and turbocharged :) )

How are we going to tow the Miglia with a Fiat 500? You don't know if your selling the focus or mini yet and also you might have a new motorhome by then which would hopefully have a towbar. |

Yes we get ours on Thursday. Will let you know, not an SS though. As far as I could tell the SS was a lot of money for not very much. The extra 30bhp is just a remap. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Obviously it's not for me, it's for the wife. I personally couldn't get comfy, and it is a bit gay IMO. But the engine was nice, with great low-down power and plenty of torque. Also the suspension was good over the bumps and firm in the corners. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
