There's me trying to help any Americans that don't know what a boot is and a Canadian from England with a French name balls the job up.

Sam. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

What's a trunk?  Looks like great all round visibility in that car Sam - what colour did you pick?

Black David, cost an extra £300. they only do them in white or yellow, any other colour is extra.

Sam. ;)

Congratulations on your new car Sam, I never was a Fiat fan until I took redundancy and lost my company car, while looking around my wife saw an 'Idea' said that was for us, must say I'm quite impressed with it, maybe it's the 'Valentino' effect. Mine has one of those space saver tyres in the boot.
I was told by a tyre shop once never to use those 'gunk' canisters, he says the tyre is wrecked after use they can't repair the puncture with that stuff inside.

Yes Malc. I think I'll get a spare.
Are you home yet or still in the States?

I've had a small car for two years now, the mileage is great but I get far more road respect on the bike.

Road respect in Massachusetts = not hitting you more times than you need to be.

I kinda like the Fiat, but a m more geared toardeds the Nissan box.

There was a bit of a hick-up on Friday and I ended up with a Nissan Micra for the weekend.
The gear shift was a bit notchy and the brakes were :o :o :o :o :o :o power assisted brakes on a farting little car, either off or slamming you against the windscreen. >:( >:( >:( >:(
Picked up the Fiat this morning and what a difference, good brakes, superb gearbox, good all round visibility and a spare tyre in the boot/trunk. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quite nippy for a 1.1 liter 8 valve motor. 8) 8) 8)
