The Fiat 500 Spotted! Thread

[Paul]

Seen a few R8s around here now (Milton Keynes so Audi country), they look smashing.

I saw three today on a four mile journey! The best moment when I was sitting directly behind a red one waiting to merge at a junction, and a white 500 was a couple of cars away on the road we were merging onto - the only other time I've seen three in such close proximity other than at the dealers was on Monday in Harrogate. Then as I got to where I was going I pulled to the side of the road to park and a different white one with the Italian side stripes drove past me so must have been following fairly close behind me.

I've seen 8 this week so far, and it's only Thursday.

Saw 2 white ones on the way to Harrogate on Monday, one had Italian side stripes, but neither were looking my way to see me. (Then 3 in Harrogate, close up:YP1's chacha lounge, Bexx's red Pop with it's snazzy aerial and Miss Bentley's red sport - all fab), a chacha driving instructor one (again) in Bradford on Tuesday, a yellow sport in Dewsbury and today whilst I was on the photocopier at work, I saw a black one with lots of chrome whilst looking out the window.

Does this mean they're getting too popular?

A white Sport being washed by it's owner on the A43 just to the north of Collyweston. She saw me and waved just as I went by in mine

Now that's a genuine small FIAT owner experience - just how much flat-pack can I get in - hmm, if I drive with me knees round me lugholes I can get that bookcase in - honest!

White 58 REG 500 seen in the centre of Lincoln today

N* 58 YVM with an S.G.Petch sticker in the back,
(and a lady driver in the front)

We havent got a 'Petch' ealership within 80 or 100 miles
of Lincoln as far as I know, so maybe it was just visiting -
or perhaps it was yet another local person who decided not to risk buying
from the local numpty Fiat dealers.

We went to Ikea in Leeds (Birstall) on Monday night, there were 4 of us in my 500 and between us we bought a flat pack chest of drawers (which wouldn't fit in the boot as it was about 3 inches too wide for the opening, but my 2 mates in the back seats managed to carry it across their knees) 4 sets of shelves, a plant, an Ikea rucksack, a large wok and a bathroom cabinet, which all fitted nicely in the boot ,along with 2 boxes of trainers we'd bought at the sports shop, a laptop and another rucksack.

The car was pretty well crammed, but still managed to cruise along the motorway no probs, and uphill too.

Last night in Brighouse we saw a white 500 (L500***) with dark burgundy side stripes. It was parked near Peacocks.

2 today - a red pop driving instructor car in Heckmondwyke and a white one with Italia stripes in Batley/Dewsbury,near the hospital. Just got looks, but no waves, but then again I wasn't really in a 'wavey' mood earlier either.

I've done an Ikea trip in mine, bought a shoe rack and some big picture frames, managed to get it all in...

Spotted my usual red one in Leeds today, over the weekend I spotted a white one in Ramsgate and a red one in Whitstable. My secretary said that she'd also spotted a 58 reg earlier this week (this is quite worrying - I've got other people looking out for them now!). Plus I think I saw two following each other round Hyde Park Corner on Saturday lunchtime, one white and one yellow but they were quite a way away from me so I'm not 100% sure about that one.
