  3. The Fiat adventure was a bit like that. Strap in for a long story.

    My brother had bought a faded but serviceable, red Fiat 500 for a couple of hundred bucks. Cars were cheap in the mid 70s.

    We'd been told that there was an almost identical Fiat in a car sales in North Dunedin with a $600 price tag, so one night we went for a look. We parked our Fiat in the car sales' driveway and checked out the other vehicle. Very similar, three times the price. All good.

    As we were pulling out of the car yard, some dooberry in a huge yank tank thought we were stealing the other Fiat, so he chased us, flashing his lights. We knew a few narrow streets around the gardens area and managed to give him the slip. A Fiat Bambina vs a massive v8... it was quite exciting.

    We parked up with our lights off until we spotted him again, then we powered up and headed south. Naturally he chased us, so we led him past the Central Police Station and sure enough, he pulled over leaving his engine running, car door open and rushed inside. We went to the Octagon and grabbed a burger from Big Daddy's.

    Later, we popped into the Police station to see what was up. After we explained the identical Fiats, the cop laughed and said, "When we received a report of a Fiat 500 driving around the north end at high speed with its lights off, we were skeptical."

    We all had a good laugh. Afterwards, we referred to the incident as "The Night of the Fiat 500."

    And I still have a place in my heart for Fiat Bambinas.

  6. Gestern Abend. Eine schöne runde Zahl nach gut 16 Jahren: 260062 km

    Dass der Tank fast leer ist, stört mich aber schon. 😝 16 Jahre ist er schon alt und fährt wie am ersten Tag. Verbrenner hin oder her, der #Fiat500 ist ein tolles Auto.

  8. I did not do this just to be a chaos goblin, I needed to move the #Fiat500 we use as one of our fleet #cars around the yard to check its brake drums hadn't seized again and get it ready in case a staff member needs it tomorrow, and there was already another slightly newer one parked in the yard for the repair garage next door..

  10. That's it, I'm out, saying goodbye and heading to the mountains to #ski. Bye...

    P.S. Just kidding! 🤣 The car isn't mine, but I spotted it and snapped a couple of photos. I don't think even the owner was being serious, it was obviously just a silly #holiday prank. #fiat500
