What about the Kia Soul? While not as popular as the Cactus with its carpet tiles on the doors, it's an even worse looking yoke!

Waiting to cross the road and before I do a car makes a turn and drives past and the woman driving is on her mobile and has a dog without any restraints on perched on her lap, who is having a merry old time barking towards me with its front paws up against the driver's side window.

And I didn't think to clock her licence plate and report her

you go to a bank manchine and select for example €80.

you go through the entire process, hitting about 10 buttons and then you get your card back and it says "this machine only dispenses multiple of €50's".

why the f*ck dont the machines be programmed that when 20's are out, the only options available to select at the start are 50, 100, 150, 200 etc etc?

It's easier to break up over text so you don't have to listen to that stuff.

Best is simply to change your status to 'single' on facebook.

Beats the cost of a text and announces your availability to all your single friends. Two birds with one stone!

Walking up or down a broken/non moving escalator.

Was practically awake all night last night but woke up this morning with a burst of energy. Got loads done and then for some reason I decided to pull everything out of the wardrobes and reorganise them. I'm only half way through now but I don't want to do it anymore

People who leave their laptop, books etc. in the college library for over an hour or two, taking up a seat and table for someone else. I get it if they genuinely have to get to a lecture or something but if you're really going to be gone for nearly 2 hours or more, take your stuff with you!

In a ridiculous amount of pain right now thanks to my stupid malfunctioning pelvis and hip, and running out of painkillers very quickly. The painkillers are making me throw up but I don't really have another choice

Wow! I love the 500. Maybe he got a retinal transplant and can now see!

It's nice-looking enough, granted, but it doesn't hold a candle to the original Fiat 500. Now, THAT was a car.

Unless you are were taller than 5 ft 2 and have a foot size of 4 or bigger.
Those pedals are tiny and the ceiling was way too low!

eisenberg1 · 24-11-2015 05:43PM

I remember the fiat 500, and to be honest looking back is great, nostalgia and all that, they seemed like great crack. But in reality,if my memory serves correctly, they were not great, even by the standards back then, rust buckets of the highest order, and a bastard to start on a cold morning. Onthe plus side, if you had a silver one, and it didn't start, you could attach it to a charm bracelet.

My father had one when I was little, and he is over 6 ft, has a size 11 feet, and he drove it every day for almost 15 years, no hassle. I think it's a matter of what you're used to. I agree that it probably wasn't the roomiest, most comfortable car ever, but back then cars were much smaller in general.

EDIT - Our own was brilliant, I don't remember anyone having more problems with their 500 than with any other cars back then. They weren't rust buckets, in fact there are still plenty of them around, and they can climb way better than you expect, plus they were great even on hairpin bends.

I do think they should have kept the original design, and just made the car bigger. The newer versions feel like they're frauds, to me.

Jaysus! I had one for a month in France and it nearly broke my neck every time I went over a pothole. I am only 5'10" !

Are we talking about the same car? One of these?

New Home · 24-11-2015 05:51PM

Yep, that's the one - I still remember the number plate.

eisenberg1 · 24-11-2015 06:02PM

Ah New home I haven't seen more than a couple in a long long time, and those I did see I would say were restored. Maybe your father was one of the lucky ones. But in the 70's and early 80's all Fiats were well known to suffer rust problems. As did a lot of makes, but Italian cars seemed particularly bad.

New Home · 24-11-2015 06:06PM

I know the Lancia ones, the Delta especially, were a disaster, as far as rust was concerned. Mind you, both of my parents always had a tiny hole drilled in the footwell to act as a sort of a drain.

Still, this being the TA thread and all, my TA is that the new 500 isn't just a bigger replica of its older sister.
