Not sure there's a 'driveway challenge' Rob, only to try to get the best I possibly can for the often limited budget I have at the time
I couldn't pass up the Uno - it's a 'powerful' 60 S by the way, so with the 1,116 FIRE engine and a heady 58 bhp which as you say is a far cry from the 552 bhp of the M5, but cars for me aren't always about the power, they're about the 'feeling' - that is to say, how a car makes you feel when you drive it, and the Uno puts as big a smile on my face as the M5 does, but for a totally different reason
The Uno is about past and family (my sister's first car was a red A-reg 45S 3-dr and my Mum owned a 1990/H-reg S2 Uno 60S 5-dr) and times before children
My 131 Specials are similar, they're not powerful at all but I love to look at them and enjoy driving them and like to know that they're mine
and I'm making my own memories with them, and memories for my kids too, as they've never known life without old Fiats around, and old 131s especially. When my Dad saw the Uno ealier this week he say 'It's the wrong shape Si', meaning it wasn't a 131, but he understood why I bought it
I don't have to explain it to him, or the wife....luckily.
