My wife spotted a yellow 500 with greek license plates today. At E-6 in Østfold, Norway!
Someone on a very long road trip Conclusion: The 500 is an excellent car to go on holliday with

Just back from the holidays in Guesnsey, saw at least three 500's evey day, the Guernsey dealer gas delivered over 80 FIAT 500's, not bad for an island less that 8 miles long.

My favorite was Ye Ye Green with vintage leather & full chrome kit

I had my first standing next to the car in a car park spotting last night - stopped at M&S on the way home and while I was inside a red 500 parked next to mine, I was getting back to my car as she got out of hers, an exchange of "nice car" followed

(I forgot to check whether it was the red one I usually see near work with the numberplate which is very similar to mine).

Seen 3 today within a space of an hour!! 1 was heading out of truro at around 3.30 (red) another was cha cha lounge heading towards truro. Then spotted a red sport (i think) with a white stripe heading out of Grampound. So there are more slowly creeping onto our roads

Ps. spotted 3 black 500's with neon green n pink graphics heading up the A30 last friday

Spotted 2 last weekend! In the local multi-storey car park, one red and one silver. Both were parked when I saw them, so no wave to other drivers.

I got waved at today by a guy in a Ye Ye Green 500 with private plates, at the Elland road/Halifax road roundabout in Brighouse. I gave him the Thumbs up, as he carried on round and up Halifax road.

I drove over 1,000 miles this weekend. Didn't see a single 500 on the roads!

I saw 3 yesterday!

First one was a Cha Cha on Armley Road in Leeds at about 7am when I was out for a run. I then went to the gym to shower and change for work, and saw the red one I often see (I think its owner works in the same building and uses the gym car park - arrives pretty much the same time every day, so if I walk out of the doors at the right time I see it). Then in the evening I saw a different Cha Cha on the M621 heading west towards the M62 - I know it was different because the red one and the second cha cha both had the same number plate as mine apart from the last 2 letters, the morning cha cha had different letters at the start.

I did quite enjoy the moment when I was driving right behind another almost identical car and looking at the faces of the people driving past

White 500 spotted this week (Tuesday) at IKEA Milton Keynes, I watched from afar while you creatively packed too many boxes in to the 500!

I've seen a yellow one with what appeared to be black stripes, in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Then I saw a white 2 white ones whilst driving to Chester down the A41, one had DRLs on.

I feel like I saw another, but can't remember. I waved at you all! But, only the DRL one returned the wave... :-( I saw two R8s on the road as well that day, a red one, and light blue one, but that's irrelevant, just quite cool :P

Hope you're well,

Charlie -
