As can probably be seen from the design of my site, and some past updates, I adore the new Fiat 500. It’s such a fantastic little car. Excellent to drive, extremely economical, and doesn’t cost the Earth to own. Over the past year, I’ve been a regular visitor and poster on the popular FIAT Forum website.
A couple of days ago, one of the other regulars on the site (who is also one of the organisers of the brilliant Isle of Wight Fiat 500 Fun Run) posted a link to the following YouTube video, which I just had to pass on:

If you missed it, the train is completely full (about 39 carriages!) of Fiat Panda’s and Fiat 500′s, as it’s leaving (if I read Google’s translation correctly) Stacja Ostrów Wielkopolski (Ostrow Station) making its way north across Poland, about 240km from Tychy (where the cars are assembled).

I recently took part in a Fiat 500 Fun Run. I haven’t taken part in one of these kinds of events since I was really young, so I couldn’t quite remember how it would turn out. The event mainly involved following a set of clues, which would lead you around the picturesque roads of the Isle of Wight. All done, of course, in a Fiat 500! All of the cars then assembled at the endpoint, which was an excellent sight.
As I bought myself a Fiat 500 last year from the dealer that organised the event (Harwoods), I was invited along, although the event was open to all Fiat 500 owners. It was even attended by a couple of original Fiat 500′s. I’ve uploaded a few photos from the day in the ‘Photos’ section. More photos to come soon.

It was absolutely fantastic event, superbly organised, and as our team won, it was even better! ;o)
