500L - Rhubarb - 12-22-2012
Yep!
The 500 now comes 4 door. Should be called the 600 or Mark thinks the Multiplex.
We got an invite through the post to view it at the showrooms last weekend- needed to book an appointment. So we did.
The salesman (rather he wasn't, more security) made a note of our arrival and took us to the car at the back of the showroom, sat in a circle of Santa stockings and parcels. I got in the passenger seat to be surprised to be in the drivers seat. I usually sit in every seat and 'play', look at the boot and engine then get in the drivers seat. So since I was there I stayed there and Mark got in the other side. He started playing with all the compartments. They were all full of goodies- for visiting kiddies- so Mark came home with a toy car...
'I think there is going to be a problem with this car?' I say to 'James' introducing the controls and features. He looked crestfallen. 'Have you noticed the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car?'
'Ah! yes' He says brightening up, 'We have borrowed this car from our French office, the right-hand drive will be here in March.'
It's an OK car, but I don't think it will replace my Dot.
Friend sent me a you-tube with it in. Quite funny, if you are a mother.

I only made it to 1:45 in the video.
You should buy up that french car and learn to drive on the correct side of the road Rhubarb.

They are doing an invitation only event for a fiat? I never understood those cars too low to the ground and not enough room for me sadly.I am sure they are good as a commuter car though.

I only got to 45 seconds, Twist. It's the rapping and then it wound up being hausfrau (spelling?) bitching while rapping my head couldn't take anymore at 7:17 AM!

Fiat's are fun to drive Anthony! This is the one they're advertising all over the place here with Charlie Sheen driving the car inside the house or the one where they're driving them off cliffs in Italy and coming ashore in the USA like a tiny invasion.
They're surprisingly roomy and low to the ground with a short wheel base is good. Less of a chance for rollover at speed. I've got less ground clearance with my car, but it does have a longer wheel base and that's what makes it fun on those curvy roads

RE: 500L - Twitchin Kitten - 12-23-2012
why the heck are the videos not working?
RE: 500L - Flamethrower - 12-23-2012
If you can get past the rappy concept it's actually pretty funny.
I think the Charlie Sheen commercial is friggin hysterical.
"I love being under house arrest! What do I get for good behavior?"
Funny shit right there!

Very much a town car Anthony- very tiny- fits in lovely small places. Went into town yesterday and there was a silly parking spot, no normal car could fit in.... put it on 'city-drive' which lightens the steering. Fitted like a glove straight in on first attempt.
I love it!!
RE: 500L - Rhubarb - 12-23-2012
LOL!
Loved the Ad's. Charlie Sheen had to have an Arbarth!
(Don't tell him most Arbarth I know about are owned by Gays, the accountant in the offices by the shop has one in red and so do the '2 poofs and a bookcase shop')
I screamed at the other ad' as they were going into the sea- Noooooo!
Loved the crab at the very end though
