According to Top Gear pretty much every small car is basically a Fiat 500 underneath. Not sure how true that really is, though.

Lol, yes... What I meant was for wine-buying trips to France and Italy, and seating three/four people in total comfort (for long distances), which is largely what my car was bought for, with some sportiness [just a tad, lol] thrown in for good measure. Somehow, I think it would be a tight squeeze in that wee Fiat! :eyebrows:Quote:

Jaguar, Ford and Mazda share designs and parts. The Kia Magentis and Hyundai Sonata prestige saloons started off as basically the same car.

Awesome, Geoff! I'll have a good read there now :eyebrows: :thumbsup:
Marco.
Bit of a shoehorn job :wow:
Great read Geoff, thanks for sharing. Love those Lancias..
Gosh! That's your car? I thought you had an estate. Have you ditched the family look and gone "lone man and his machine"? No wonder you spend on the anal bits and pieces (no... I didn't mean that! tho I bet you do...) to keep it running as you want it.Quote:

That was still pretty fast, and I loved it, but nothing like the Brabster! :eyebrows:

I saw a mint Fiat X19 on the way to work yesterday. There can't be many of them left running.
