Get stuffed, your GP is lovely.
I'm fed up with the Ibiza becuase it needs a lot of money to make it mint - I'd love to own a truely mint car!

With you working for Fiat, cant you pull a few strings to lower the car and not void the warranty?

I think the way to do it is, half decent car but even more decent motorbike.
Only had my 1400 S 2 weeks, its not quick but just the pleasure of the freedom it brings is enough.
I know a few people, will buy a car for a lot of money, get beaten by something else, sell there car for peanuts and by what ever beat them, etc....
They are never happy!!
Maybe not use the car for a wile, get the evil public transsport and then im sure you will love the car again.

Had it for 18 months now and I'm not bored. Nothing else that I can afford is taking my fancy either really.
Had the odd day where I missed the rawness of the Corsa in comparison but then that was more than cancelled out by remembering how bad the ride was

Every car I get I feel that way after a few months. Last few cars have only been kept for 6months. Just a shitter with the insurance as I always end up starting a new policy and losing 6months no claims
I've had 10 cars in 6yrs Just working my way through the brands

4 weeks is all it takes me to get bored lol. I find if you drive a car everyday though it seldom feels special or fun. But if you have a weekend only car and a daily runner, everytime you get in your toy car it makes it feel extra special.
I dont think its possible to have a daily runner that also feels special. Even an evo or M3 would feel drol if you used it for the daily work commute.
