[PhilippineSaint]

My next car will be a Fiat 500 on hire from Heathrow airport for a month

[Polski_Filip]

Prob about £500 a day?

[PhilippineSaint]

704 for the month plus petrol

[Polski_Filip]

@PhilippineSaint

704 for the month plus petrol

Like @Polski_Filip said, £500 a day at current petrol prices…

Are you sure you will fit in this car? Mrs TB would, but she’s a flower grader. Really not sure about you - brings back memories of that big bloke in the Bond movie with his head sticking out the roof.

[PhilippineSaint]

Only 5,9" and shrinking no beer belly to speak off because been dry the last month or so. Might just about fit if I take front seat out and sit on the rear one

The latest version of the tiny Fiat 500 ain’t tiny. Like the so called Mini they’re bloated travesties of the originals. Enjoy.

When they first unveiled the new mini, onlookers were puzzled by an odd whirring sound. Then they realised it was just Issigonis turning in his grave.

I have driven a Fiat 500.
In fact I drove my daughter to her wedding in it.
They are really quick

Have you morphed into a gentleman farmer Bazza?

[lifeintheslowlane]

Well…that’s what we got. Lady Slowlane digested ALL the specifications from ALL those recommended in Woman’s Weekly and decided on the chunky knit blue one.

Spotted @lifeintheslowlane 's motor this morning, appropriately enough outside the antiques fair in Wickham.

I like the new cap mate, that’s a good colour for you

[lifeintheslowlane]

Not me mate, I wear a Panama…a flat cap on me looks like a pimple on a grapefruit.

Boss bought a Passat Estate because he couldn’t afford a Skoda Superb for limo work.
6 months on

He sold the Passat (too small for luggage) and found a 4x4 Diesel Skoda Superb.
1st run out in it today.
192,000 kms on it but still looks & feels new.
Well comfy to drive

Mrs Waylander has acquired a Volvo XC40 plug-in hydrid and passed on our 21 y.o. Toyota RAV4
The level of techy gadgetry is astonishing. It is going take me months to work out how to use all the features.

@Waylander

It is going take me months to work out how to use all the features.

In my experience, it will be years.
The phone works though and I have my latest albums on rotation using a USB stick. That’s all I need.

You’ll be appalled to learn that the MGB now has a Parrot hands free kit fitted

[lifeintheslowlane]

I had a 2008 Audi A4 with a Parrot hands free kit…worked well.
