Most certainly is, squire. Only other option would be, um, one of *those*

engines. We all know how I feel about Dr Diesels Evil Invention.

I drove a hired Seicento poverty model from Amsterdam to Brussels a few

Cost me the equivalent of £14.00 in fuel to do something daft like 500 km.



Comfier than the train though.

Ka`s handle and corner fucking brilliantly though, the Fiats don`t. They

Here is a preview of the event as some of the cars have begun arriving in the Lakes Region earlier this week.
