Just got overtaken by an all white Veyron.

Bit shocked tbh, never seen one in the flesh before. Sounded beautiful and wasn't hanging around.

Remember going to Prescott hill Climb in 2008 I think with a CS lot, was a Veyron owners group sort of thing and loads of them, never had the same feeling after that, and don't think I've seen one since.

Saw a mint xm on the motorway this week. Pretty sure it was this one that Top Gear featured in the mag

I saw a mint silver one earlier this week while out walking the dog. Old boy driving it was sat at some traffic lights, he saw me looking and smiled. I gave an appreciative nod and he replied by doing a two minute burn out (that last bit didn't really happen).

Did look cool next to all the modern stuff though.

Saw three when I was over there a few weeks ago. They look relatively small compared to some of the other pickups out there.

Saw a purple one in Canmore 🤮🤮

Yeah i've seen a purple one in Calgary, probably the same.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say the one I saw out skiing didn't look so bad with the offroad tyres & spacers. Definitely more purposeful rather than a stupid gimmick.

That's mad if it hasn't had an MOT in all that time, considering the condition it was in inside and out.

It sure is a bit weird. Assuming I've got the reg correct from the photo that is of course (which it looks like I have, make, model and colour all match)

No pic unfortunately, but I saw a yellow Fiat Punto Turbo drive the opposite way to me last night! I assume it was legit from the brief glimpse I had, but even seeing just a boggo mk1 Punto is a rarity these days. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw a Punto of any age TBH.

I had a blue 1.2, 73 bhp as my first car. Absolutely loved it, even though it was a complete death trap :ROFLMAO: It was faster than my mates 1.2 Clio and my other mates Peugeot 106, so I was happy.

was on about this with the other half a few weeks ago. Our first newish car was a dark blue M reg SX 55 (55 hp :cool: ) and I can't remember the last time I saw MK1 punto on the road. As a young family we all over the UK in that car. I remember it struggling like mad with the hills on the A30 while being fully loaded for a family holiday in Cornwall.

Head gasket went when it was probably less than four years old. There was four of us at work with very similar Puntos and three of them had the head gasket go.

Oh and the sump corroded through creating a fairly serious oil leak.

I suppose there's no wonder you don't see them anymore.

So roomy inside from what I remember.

I miss the days when I'd first passed, I had a 106, one mate had a Saxo VTR, Fiesta mk4, Mk Clio 16v, AX, Corsa B, Punto, and a Mk2 Ph2 Clio. All the classics.

Mine was an S reg, but also the dark blue; unfortunately I wasn't cool enough to have colour coding, so I had all the black plastic bits instead. And I remember the green dials were so dull I could barely read them at night on top of all the vibrations :ROFLMAO: Still, other than the clutch going it served me well until I put it into a wall. My sister had a Brava (or maybe a Bravo, I can't remember which) and that was broken more than it wasn't

VERY roomy. No word of a lie, I used to take my quad bike to and from my mates farm in the back of it! Dropped the rear seats, loosened the handlebars so they could be rotated down, and then slid the drivers seat as far forward as it would go. Was f**king uncomfortable, but did the trick! For reference, I had a suzuki LT80 at that point in time. Once I bought a Yamaha Blaster, the Punto was no use :ROFLMAO:.

The early 2000's were such a good time for young drivers, some of the best hatches out there and still probably half the amount of cars on the road to what there are today. Plus barely any chance of getting caught as we were likely still under NSL :ROFLMAO:

Those were the days. I had a Fiat Seicento, one mate had a Saxo VTR and used to tell everyone it was a 1.3. Everyone else was in Corsa's, Clios etc. Was a good laugh.

I nearly crashed into one of these today while projectile vomiting at how rancid it is.

Literally just a huge oblong.

Did you used to be on Fiat Forum back in the day? I had a few modified Centos and an UNO Turbo. As well as a Lancia Y10 Turbo.
