buffie Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's my new car Named after .....? Anyway my little Fiat 500 has just rolled off his transporter and is coming on Thursday. It's the first time I've ordered a new car to my spec and I've never been so patient in my life I was told mid December, so hearing this today was great news Now I've just got to get used to it Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ooh lucky you - what colour did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Bossa Nova White, with lots of Chrome I refuse to pay for a colour but added other bits including a special number plate for BHWT I never thought it would be this exciting (it's a car) but it is Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I absolutely love the cute shape of the new Fiat 500! It's what DD and I call a "meep-meep" shape (similar to a VW beetle or a Nissan Micra - so named because the horn of my Micra makes a pathetic meep meep sound and it has a smiley face). If I wasn't fathful to Ron (my bright red Micra) I would be tempted too. Do post pics, Buffie. Edited to add: Jeremy Clarkson really liked it when it was featured on Top Gear recently.
