What Car Do You Own?

[jcool]

Left one's mine, a 2002 Fiat Stilo. I know, Italian cars are crap, unreliable and blah blah blah. But I like it, and despite certain "problems" I had to take care of (modify that crappy drivetrain, use a German Bosch battery instead of the Italian one etc) this car has never let me down, be it skiing at -20C or racing through the country at full throttle in 35C summer heat.

It also came very cheap and with great interior equipment.

....or racing through the country at full throttle in 35C summer heat.

Racing? In a Stilo? Estate?

Sorry, just kidding, nothing wrong with small economical cars, especially when they aren't terribly ugly like my Tracer.

EDIT: I realize that wasn't terribly clear. I mean to say my Tracer is ugly, extremely so.

It's not an Estate, it's just the 5 door version
And doing 800km in under 5h is racing by my definition... something you can't do anywhere else in the world, at least not legally
Also, 4,30m isn't small by European definition
As long as it fits my skiing and surfing equipment + GF it's big enough, don't you think

My mistake, I am honestly not familiar enough with it hence the Estate mistake. My only real exposure is through Top Gear, and to be honest that isn't the best place to learn about a Fiat.

LOL, yes, small is defiantly a relative thing depending on where you live.

I had to do some conversion for my own sake. That averages out to 99.4 miles per hour, not bad at all.

The closest I have come is from my house to Orlando Florida (1200 miles) in just over 14 hours. Average speed of around 85 MPH....in a lowered Nissan mini truck..with a 1400 watt stereo(yeah, I was young). A bit risky but a bunch of fun.
