    wicked looking little motor.

    Incidentally, I saw my first 500 on the road today as it pulled off a slip road onto the dual carriageway. Unfortunaltely the first thing I thought was, 'Ooh, I better pull out to let that Nissan Micra pull out'.

    It's ony when I got close, that I realised what it was.. It was quite a sporty looking spec, not bad, but looks far too like a Micra from any distance..

    That thing is well cool!

    Wouldn't mind one myself! Probably expensive though.

    Notice how multiple companies are now using the signature 'red' wing mirrors that feature on the GP. Theres this fiat, some other car in which ive forgot, and the fiat punto! Does look good though

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think a MINI GP, a Ford Ka and a Suziki Swift just ended up in the same boil wash and came out looking like that?

    I'm usually open minded about cars, but I just can't bring myself to liking that. It doesn't help that we saw a 500 at the MPH show and didn't like that either.

    It's just too girly and plasticy for me.

    All purely IMHO.:o

    Shocking i know, but, i'm not so sure i'm that keen on it, but, i'd need to see it in the flesh to reach a proper conclusion.
    Maybe there's a wee pug in there too
