About

Welcome to my Fiat Panda 100HP blog. Having become fed up with the amount of work that my Renault Megane 225 was requiring, I decided to part exchange it for something smaller, cheaper but still fun. Having read about the Panda 100hp in Evo magazine over the years, I thought it was worth a look, despite my wife thinking that they look horrible! Fortunately I have an understanding wife and a few days later I was waving goodbye to our Megane (and 125bhp) and getting into a slightly ugly looking tin can with blacked out rear windows.

The car we bought is 4 years old – a ’57 plate January 2008 car in black with just 16,200 miles. As I can never resist tinkering with my cars I thought I would keep a blog of my ownership experiences as well as trying to pull together some of the photos, videos, reviews and information of this reasonably rare car.

Over the last 10 years I’ve had several performance cars, with the Panda being the lowest powered (and strangest looking!) of all of them. I’ll gradually add pictures of my old cars here. If you now own one of them please drop me a line and let me know how it’s getting on.
