Hi all,
I currently drive an Abarth Punto Evo but with a first child on the way my mission became finding a 'sensible family car' which could only mean one thing, scratching the 156 itch I've had since I saw the Nuvola blue ones when they were launched. After weeks of watching eBay/Autotrader/Gumtree like a hawk, my dark blue JTS Veloce appeared over in London. Great colour and spec but cloth interior, but my wife doesn't like leather anyway.
1-way coach ticket of optimism purchased, I excitedly made my way to London armed with a wad of cash. After a test drive identified a grumbling wheel bearing and the offside rear window not working, a deal was stuck and I was happy.
I love this car.
I have already taken a lot of great info from this site while looking for a 156 so I look forward to contributing.
Cheers
