Well as most of you you I went to Ireland and they gave me a car.
At the Hertz place they said do I mind a small car. I said no. Thinking it would be a Ford Ka or something. Wel it was a Fiat 500, so I thought thats not so bad. He told me the parking bay, when i got there it was bright yellow. I put the bags in the boot. Thinking I can forget its yellow when I sit inside. Well the whole dash board was bright yellow.
I drove to the factory which is about 50mins away. I knew the route as done it many times in the taxi. I parked it outside work and that was the start of the teasing. After a few more days, more and more people knew it was the one i was driving. One cold morning the car had trouble getting u the hill, screaming in 1st gear, and 2nd gear didn't have enough power to maintain the speed.
So Tom said it could do with some modifications so he added a little air scoop to the bonnet. lol
When a few of them found out what i drove at home, they laughed even more at this little yellow car. Anything about a 3litre is un heard of. Road tax is high it done on every 0.1l increments, so a 2 litre would be around 1000 euros tax, so most of the cars are 1.3ish.
