edd_t Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Fiat Panda 1000 Super! Cost me £525, I had it for 3 and a half years, sold it for £350. And the only part I ever replaced was a £60 starter motor! Was in red (i was 17 going around clubs saying i owned a Red Italian car, haha)! I fitted a kenwood head unit, with 2 6x9s on the parchel shelf and a bass canon! with no amp!!!! When I tried to use it the headlights dimmed! haha. got rid of the bass canon eventually. oh and i tried out the cigarette lighter once, and my dash caught fire from inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
