Good correction cause some of those 500s did roll without hitting anything but air.Quote:

Any passenger car can be made to roll :mark: .
Exactly.Quote:

It did take me a good view seconds to notice the car in that picture. :\Quote:

Ask BSM (British School Of Motoring) about the 500 rolling over!
One of their pupils rolled one over,and it was in all the national papers,she (The Learner) did hit something !! A 4 inch kerb!
Sooo...that's a what, a prancing mouse? :DQuote:

all cars are flippable, but some are more flippable than others :)
Yet to see one on the road here in the US. Other than decent MPG, they don't seem to have many selling points for the US market.
I do wonder what Americans will think of it. They've made a few changes to the US 500 to make it a bit more US friendly. It's difficult to say for sure how well it'll do though. I think they sold out the first run of production, but that would have been mostly to hardcore Italian car fans. Will be interesting to see how well it does. Not having been to the US I don't know how much of a market there is for small cars like that anyway.Quote:

Haha The absolute last thing I'd want to do is encourage Daniel and his fivehundreditus! :p Although on the positive side he can drag up this thread time after time rather than turning other car related threads into 500 borefests. For that I can't thank the thread starter enough! :)Quote:

You really are an annoying one :rolleyes: if you don't like a post then don't read it, or use the ignore function. Talking about a car is hardly offensive.Quote:

How much do they want for Mito's over there? I imagine because it's european they'll want a lot!Quote:

A$31,490 which works out to be £20,468.
I figure that with 150bhp on tap, that's better than a Corolla or Focus and I don't really need the extra size of those two cars.
It wasn't me.Quote:

Which is quite funny considering that that I'm not the one who started this whole thread to take the p***. :rolleyes: Car threads on this forum are somewhat like f1 tyres of old. They start off good until you go through the graining or 500 phase and then they come back to you and are quite good again. ;) :pQuote:

Tbh if some halfwit wants to try and troll someone to get them to post good advice then whatever, it's a pretty lame way of getting a laugh if that is indeed what has happened here.
