Default Melboune

Just back from the Melbourne GP. As you know they had local sports celebrities racing in Fiat 500s. These were all 1.4 petrols in Red, Yellow, Black, or White (32 of them) with advertising attached.

Each car had am Australian Fiat dealers name on it so i assume that dealer owns the car and will get the car back to remove the roll cage and put back the oringinal seats etc.

One car came to an end during the last of 3 races when it was turned around by another car, hit a tyre barrier going backwards and fell onto its side.

Biggest gaggle of 500s we've seen so far?
Must have been an incredible sight to see.

One of the cars (or A.N. other car) was at Bathurst doing a hill climb YouTube - Fiat 500 at Bathurst - 1
There's a few other videos from this event that Youtube should show as related.
