I can’t let Dr. Zoidberg and his Celica win! Also, I really need to get round to replacing those dinged up doors.

I like this little thing... Do you have a gopro? Are you able to push it around country roads? Curious to see how it compares to my Mini...

Once I get my Volvo out of winter storage I will compete with you guys!

I have a Mobius ActionCam, but it’s currently broken. Once I finally send the damn thing for a warranty repair I’ll probably film start filming some footage again.

I’ve been on a few country road blasts in this car, but B roads in my area are generally straight as arrows, so there isn’t that much fun to be had trashing a car around them. Also, the handling can get a little terrifying at times. Tiny, narrow wheels + crappy tyres + narrow but reasonably tall body + 4 unassisted drum brakes = ruined trousers if anything goes slightly wrong. :D

Yeah probably a lot more unstable than a Mini at speed :)

Understeer into lift off oversteer haha. You do get massive lift off oversteer in the mini too, but you have to REALLY want it though... Like, under the rain on a big roundabout, going as fast as possible, full throttle, understeering on purpose and letting off the gas all of a sudden :)

The Fiat definitely feels weighty in the back at speed, but to get to the point where you can tell that the engine is in the back you have to be going very fast, and at that point the overwhelming feeling is “Oh shit, it’s going to flip”. :D

haha, ok.. I have never driven one before, let alone at speed... Only thing I have driven that SORT of resemble it, would be the Subaru 360 ( http://oppositelock.kinja.com/1968-subaru-36… ) but that was a VERY sketchy car and a lot lighter lol. I love trying ot go as fast as possible with very slow cars on open roads. SHITLOAD of fun and you keep it legal most of the time :)

That’s one of things I am looking forward to when I import a 126 to Canada....you can still have a blast and feel like you’re going 1 million kph, but you’re going like....60kph, haha! :)
