Ah yes I forgot you told me before you had a Mini Cooper. Curious - did you test drive the Fiat 500 before you got the Mini Cooper? I've driven both and liked the Mini a lot better - but I haven't tried one of the turbo Fiats.>>

Those older ones are not bad cars either. I remember seeing a few of these at a race track years ago - some were getting better lap times than the Porsche 911's!! This was at the Hallett race track in Oklahoma - has like 10 turns and is a little less than 2 miles long, and some pretty serious elevation changes too - a pretty demanding track - but geeze those mini's were fast on that track.
