Exclusive

It's a feisty one


I love wednesdays.
For a starter, last wednesday, not only was it my only free day of the week, and did I wake up with the sun shining on my face, I also had the opportunity to enjoy myself a few hours in Fiat's new tiny inner-city go kart, the 500 Abarth...


Now I won't be writing you a Clarkson review, but this car is great.
I'm completely sold.
It corners tight, has a nice revvie engine with a great sound, a set of brakes that will let you inspect the inside of your windscreen from a few centimeters distance, and a little turbo gauge you won't be looking at since you're having to much fun. Heck!, there's even an extra seat you can put your girl on while you are driving, because you won't be handing over the steer, trust me.

Actually, the only downside on the car I came up with was the ESC that couldn't be turned off... On the other hand, no ESC will make the car perfectly safe, so personally I don't see any reason why a mother wouldn't buy this car for her 21-year old son...


A big thanks goes out to Jerry and the folks from Auto-Nieuwkoop for handing me out this little rocket.
If you'd want one, and I'm pretty damn sure you do, you'll have to go and talk to these guys, because they're the one and only distributor for the Netherlands.

Can't wait for next weeks wednesday...
