131mirafiori forum

I'm starting to go slightly mad I think as I am actually (quite) seriously considering buying a Cinquecento Sporting, in yellow - one of the last.  8) Am I losing it totally? ??? I'm even trying to convince the wife that my kids can use it to learn to drive in - but the oldest is still only 14 :o

I'm even looking at it from the investment potential too - but that won't be realised for years if not decades. ;) Some one tell me that I'm mad and that I really don't need it..........

I really want another 131 or a nice Strada 130TC Abarth to go with my Stradale, but this Cinquecento seems like a good idea - doesn't it? ??? ;D

Don't ask me.... I'm not objective as I got to drive one (the suite with a/c) lately... It's a lot of fun... So go for it... I will.... ;)

forget the cinq.
too small for beginners. buy them a used volvo 740

Or a station wagon  :D :D :D

You are mad and you really don't need it.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I wanna see how you get in it ;D

Nah, go for it. Good little nippy motor. Cheap maintenance and motoring!  ;)

Thanks to every one except Albert for their comments - I'm even more confused now.

Albert - that's not nice!  ;) ;D :D If I buy I'll post up pictures - with me in it - you cheeky man!!!!

Allright, I am looking forward for that! ;D Serious, I like them in yellow ;)

Stick with the 131/130 idea it is your best option.
The 130 could be an ideal learning to drive car small,agile easy to park etc,the list goes on  ;D
Or you can tell the wife you are buying a nice sensible, economical 1600 tc 4 door 131 for trip's to the park,family days out, weekend Asda/Tesco shoping etc  ;D.
New cars are just boaring you cant even see the engine's nowadays for the plastic.

OH NO -Its finally happened -go and see a doctor immediatly  ;D ;D
The progressive disease has mutated once again from 131 disease (normal strain) to Arbarth disease (an advanced strain ) to sporting disease - ( a very dangerous disease that not a lot is known about ) 131 and arbarth disease can be very harmful to the wallet - sporting disease well we will see -There must be a medical centre somewhere that can help  ;D ;D ;

Curt, so that's what I've got  :D

Simon, go for it, they're great fun. But, if you're after another 131 we could always have a chat about mine  ;) :)

 :) Si  I don't like small cars as a rule but always had a bit of a thing about the Y10 's
similar shape really but a lot more poke and will hold value due to scarcity, go for it
needs a loving home  ;)

We've always thought you a bit mad anyway Si ,that wont change if you bought it or not ;D
(Anita told me to say that)

Ok then, looks from the comments above that I am mad but that seems to be OK with you guys! :D ;) ;D

I'll give the seller a call and see if it's still available as the last time I spoke to him he'd had 3 offers for it already. :-\

Go Go Go Go.....
