My New Car! - D4R73N

[D4R73N]

Well here she is... my baby... and boy am I happy

I first saw the car driving on the way to my Uni, whilest taking a de-tour, the instant i saw it it shood out. I've never had a thing for Punto's but this one is just different, obviusly being Bright Yellow and also Abarth Modified. The car has EVERYTHING and more I was looking for, its sporty, it has the electric windows and mirrors, air con, TCS and ABS, Power steering of course and its a 1.8 petrol.

Im the happiest guy in the world right now!

Full details and Pictures Below:

- Make : Fiat
- Model : HGT Abarth
- Engine size : 1.8 16v
- Year : 2000
- Colour : Bloom Yellow

Comes with ABS, TCS, Electric Windows and Mirrors, Air Con, Power Steering, Central Locking, and more along with The sports seats and remastered interior.

Overall I coulnt ask for any more
Shoud have the car by Thursday 1st Feb.

Thanks for looking, and comments welcome.
Darren.

Donno what you mean, most of them on Auto trader are alot, yet the dealer one on the second link is cheapish...

But this has faily low miles and in mint condistion with 3 months warrenty, new cam belt, Full MOT, 6 months Tax, and the same person i bought the Micra from, must be good ...lol

 

[p11sr20]

personally would have gone for a p11gt (150bhp) or n15 gti (141 bhp) with v low mileage for less money. but thats my opinion

If im right the second one is an Almera? I did look at one, but I dident like them, not my sort of car...

 

[p11sr20]

yeah its an almera. 1st 1 is a primera. like i said just my opinion. looking for a primera gt for my next car

 

[jarthur05]

Nice motor mate. Don't listen to those who say "but it's a Fiat" etc. Any plans to 'tweak' it? Or is it staying standard? Let us know how you get on with her. JA

I'll probaly leave it mainly standard, but I said that about the Micra.

Only things I think of atm are, Geting the handles etc colour coded, possibly put on some black wheels, and a flip up TV, like in the picture attached.

 

[Type-R]

nice car, few years ago when that came out i was about to get a black one abarth kitted and stuff for about 6.5k, used one with 6700 mileage. i let my mate get one first within the first month he needed a new exhaust system, fiat paid for it though.

watch oo=ut for exaust

Thanks mate, Yeah I was suprised, it certainly packs a punch

 

[The Mad Hatter]

It's Broom Yellow by the way...lol.

They're not bad cars those Punto's, even the 1.2 16v jobbie I had a ride in went OK. Sounded good too-every Italian car is built to be driven by a Michael Schumacher wannabe.

 

[Type-R]

drive the hgt and you wnt want to drive the sporting!!

 

[Arnold]

Nice, i was looking at getting one a year or so back, or the 1.4 Turbo but decided to keep the k10 for a bit longer

Enjoy it mate! It wont be as reliable as the micra i reckon so be nice to it!

I wont be driving it crazy, with a 1.8 I wont need to rag it to keep up with your avarage car tbh.

 

[richarda]

[Swiper]

I used to use it when i had a cinquecento, and will probably be going back when i sell the micra to buy another cinq!

 

[Ems]

Why do u have to wait over a week to get it?

 

[Arnold]

Lol at swiper!

Posts deleted... mountains from molehills rings a bell

 

[fraz_micra_88]

Yeah man, alreaddy a member, TBH though I dont really have plans for it, only that I in the future want Black wheels and a TV...lol

No doubt i'll end up with suiside doors and a veilside bodykit...JOKE!

Why do u have to wait over a week to get it?

Because Mine is getting alot done, the Exhaust system, Sound System etc is being removed this weekend. And the Punto is getting a new Cam belt, MoT, Full service etc, but the main reason is that if I wait till the 1st of Feb, i'll get a months extra Tax. worth it for 6 days...lol

 

[Glenn]
