Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
Scotty 2 - you suffer from much the same fate as the Coupe owners. There are a vast amount of uninitiated people out there that either drive the car because of how it looks, not how it goes, or condemn the car based on what they've read or heard. The TT is clearly a fine car, with a few known failin...

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
So - for all your German self-control and well-considered responses, this forum can go spectacularly off-topic too. [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
Good publicity - saying a car has a 155 limiter - even if it can't reach it. What does the S4 do as standard? The Coop is good for a fair bit more when tweaked, which is good when you get a run at 155+, but I've only ever been higher than that on maybe three or four occasions in a Coop, and only twi...

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
i`d love to see my speedo hit around 152mph again...... "only" 152??? Co-oPs are good for 153 easily - you're history [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Are any of the Audis limited?. Coupes aren't, but max for a stock car is about 153-155 depending on what yo...

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
Yup 355 is just a toy (but I've done over 10,000 miles in 18 months, so its no sunny-Sunday-only car). To be fair, its as much about owning it as driving it, and the looks from the gurlies in their TTs, and the jealous "I haven't seen you - I refuse to stare" looks from the blokes. Seems to me that ...

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
So the Fiat badge makes it look crap then?? Agree about the badge-snobbery - many Coop owners would rather it have an Alfa badge, I suppose. I also agree that Fiat have made only a few desirable cars, but the Coop surely has to be one of them. However, its one of those cars whose looks you either lo...

Re: Anyone fancy winding up some Fiat boys ?
Hi - yet another one of the "Fiat Boys" invading Must say - this is one of the most civilised "Fiat versus XXX" threads I've ever seen (apart from the "deluded" comment on the first post - check your info before posting - some coops are well above 300bhp - IIRC the record is over 500). Most non-Coup...
