Not as cheap as it would've been (sorry!) a few years ago when the baked bean price wars were going on. I think Aldi had 'em down to 4p (wrong veg.) at one point, and Aldi's were one of the nicest along with Sainsbury's economy. Morrisons cheapies are nice too.

Hello, I'm Pootle's other half. This will be our (well, Pootle's, I'm not changing my car!) first new non-British car, so it had better be good when it finally arrives!

Welcome lfc958 from a Utd fan having a fairly similar car to yours (of course lfc could stand for something completely different).

Who's painting the wing mirror posts for you?

Hello,

i collected my 1.2 pop in white, with the multispoke 16's on monday and am loving it. Its ace.

Hi, i live in New Zealand and have on order a Red pop, 1.3 MJD, red leather, black head rests, 15" sports alloys, Leather steering wheel, blue & me. On order since December, not due til May / June.

None in NZ yet. Off to Melboune Austraila next week to the F1 GP where they are using 500s for the celeb race. This will be my first look at a 500 in the flesh, have only seen pictures up to now. Hope to drop into the Melbourne Fiat dealer and have a sit in one.

Have read that after the celeb race they are going to remove the roll cage, stickers, belts, and race seat, replace the original seats etc and sell the cars, and that there is a big demand for these cars. Not sure i would want to own one that had been thrashed around a race circuit....unless i had been the one doing the thrashing!!!!

Very jelous of those of you that have got their 500 already.

So what did you do in Studley then? I have friends in Studley.

I know where it is, I live in Solihull. Your local dealer is Startins. My Streetka has been serviced at Brooklyn Ford in the last 3 years!!

By the way hello fellow 500 owners and to-be,

I'm Ed and I'm from Solihull. I have a 500 Sport 1.2 arriving early May, with a host of extras.

Roll on May!
