Talking Bella is home

We picked her up today and I drove home with a big grin on my face (driving like a learner)

Just going to try to post some pictures.....

A VERY happy Snowball

Congratulations on your new arrival! Can't wait to see the pics.

I just picked up Carlo this evening so I know that big smile feeling. I've been for a bit of a drive round (about 20 miles) for no reason other than getting to know him and having a play with the buttons. So far I've phoned two random people and taken advantage of my foresight in putting all my music onto a USB stick. I might go down to the park before it gets dark and take some photos (my driveway really isn't the background he deserves)

I've also had my first "walking past with head turning to look at the 500" moment when I was parked reading the manual

Here she is

My first impressions were how nice it was to get back into a little Fiat. I had a 1.4 GT Punto for ten years and sobbed when I sold it. Today I left my '07 Seat Ibiza 1.9 TDi at the dealer without even a backward glance. I am a Fiat girl through and through

Bella is beautiful and I am chuffed to bits to finally have her. I always wanted one of the original 500s and I have my lovely husband to thank for making my dream come true with having a new one.

Looking beautiful there gal. White really is the only colour to carry the stripe off (maybe yellow too). Hope she wasn't too upset at being parked next to a heap of German tat.

Looking good.

It's probably just me, but from the front those stripes somehow remind me of Adam and the Ants and their makeup!

I have to disagree - I have the Pasodoble Red with a white stripe and checks on the roof.
