Speedy J's new car

['The Gaffer']

It seems a few people have just got new motors so I'd thought I'd add Speedy's to the list.

I've just put a holding deposit down on a new Abarth 500. Its a quick little turbo'd car that's surprisingly spacious and comfortable inside.

She is very pleased with it and cant wait to get behind the wheel.

Speedy with the beast


So much for saving some money!!!

Does this mean that Speedy J will be quicker than The Gaffer on track?

['The Gaffer']

Most people are faster than me Ken Speedy probably one of them

All the best to Speedy J and her new car - Enjoy

Just love red.   Its the only colour for a car.   My opinion obviously.

Nice little car if that what turns you on.....   How many mpg does it do.?  A lot I bet.

Money.................Spend it while you can....You never know what tomorrow brings...

Speedy is only little so it suits her down to the ground - I can drive it too with loads of room to spare

Urban consumption: 33.2 mpg
Extra-urban consumption: 52.3 mpg
Combined consumption: 43.4 mpg

It may be small but it packs a punch..
160 hp at 5750 rpm with peak torque of 170 lb/ft at 3000 rpm in "Sport Mode". Top speed is 131 mph

Love those Fiat 500's, great choice! And the Abarth too, very nice!

[David H]

Very cool maestro.

Very cool indeed.

[Grin-a-lot]

I managed to get an Abarth 500 as a hire car once and it was great, you'll have a huge amount of fun in it i'm sure!

Nice one Phil. Have seen a few around Arbarth's on my travels but not many! Agreed red is the only colour for it as well.

Its home.

Great little car


Considering Speedy has been driving an auto for about 5 years she got back into driving manual within 10 mins - remarkable
