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

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.

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...
 
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.

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.

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
