I spoke to 2 different Fiat dealers yesterday, (down South) both with several 500s in stock,
and both were moaning how slow 500 sales have been for them :!

BUT THIS THREAD proves that the little beauties ARE indeed getting out there onto the road ready for some serious fun this summer

I picked up my car today in Darlington. I got about 500 yards down the road and stopped at a round about I glanced right to check it was clear only to see a Bossa Nova 500 coming off the roundabout. We both had shocked expressions on our faces and I had to do a double take.

She gave me a big smile so i smiled and waved back like a crazy person. Didn't see much of the car or if she waved as we were both going in opposite directions and I was stunned. Even her male passenger looked stunned. Was really nice though. x

I'm guessing the current economic uncertainty is't doing them a favours.

I saw 3 new 500s in the space of 2 days.

The first was a yellow Sport on Tuesday night j,ust gone, in Brighouse, it came up behind then beside us on the Ludenscheid link, then followed us up Elland road, until we turned right to go home. There were 2 fair haired guys in it with hairdresser type hair cuts.

On Wednesday about 13.20 pm I saw a chachacha azure in Bradford City Centre going up past TJ Hughes, elderly lady I think. The later the same day I saw one in Heckmondwike on my way to Dewsbury. It was a white 57reg one with a young lass driving it. We smiled briefly at each other.

In case you were in any of the above 500s, I was the guy in the red 500 Sport.

Milton Keynes City Centre at about 14:15pm Today. An all white with chrome bits (maybe the same as I've seen before) was seen behind and going the other way to me... Still spotted them though.

Finally saw My first 500 since having mine!! It was a 1.2 Bossa Nova Pop. We flashed like mad ,then waved and grinned and I nearly went into a fence as I was so excited!! We later went to saisbury's and there it was in the car park!! As we were walking away after having a look(red/ivory seats....very nice) the owner came running towards me saying she saw me earlier and had changed her route to be able to wave!! Brilliant!! Love my 500, cant wait to see some more to wave and flash madly with
