- I await my luxury transport on a great Italian adventure. It turns out to be a Fiat Cinquecento... Our destination? Turin! We're not driving all the way... A slab of tourism mixed with travelogue and car spotting, including the pictured Morelli M1000!
More Pandas than you can shake a stick at, and our first view of the remarkable Lingotto former-Fiat factory. More on that next time.
Merch? Step this way. hubnut.org - Grazie Mille.

Love Jim’s squeal of excitement when you saw the Fiat 500. It’s replaying in my brain “oh god, that’s adorable!”🤣🤣🤣
"36 Hours In Turin" sounds like the name of a new movie! 😁👍
"The Italian Job" was already taken ... 🙂
"2160 minutes at the Lingotto"
I visited this factory around 2003 when I worked for Jaguar as a Development Engineer. We stayed in Turin while we were driving a fleet of Jaguar development cars (probably the first diesel S types and XJ’s) from the UK down to the Nardo test track in the heel of Italy and were lucky enough to stay in the hotel that is in the old factory. It is still to this day the coolest hotel I have ever stayed in. We ate our evening meal in the courtyard outside it was amazing. We only stayed one night and then continued down to another overnight stay in Rome. On the journey we visited all the land marks in the Italian job as it was rude not to. Looking forward to part 2……
Feels like old school HubNut. Very enjoyable and your dry humour coming across
My favorite crossover yet. Glad to see you two together on screen.
Sadly, my wife's grandfather bombed the Turin Fiat works in 1940. Such a shame, but we made up for it as a family by buying a multitude of Fiats over the years.
Lovely to see Turin. It’s a great city not only for petrolheads and football fans. It’s full of culture, history, and excellent cuisine. I visited much too long ago for work and for travel, and I would love to go again. Maybe seeing your pictures of the Lingotto can give me the necessary impulse!
2 minutes and 11 seconds in this video and boy, I'm loving it! For the tiny Italian car and "doing" miles in one; I had a Lancia Ypsilon (Pepito I called it..yes, I too name my cars) and we (my lovely and dear wife) had it for 2 years. In that time we pendeled between Amsterdam (where we lived) and Heerenveen (where my parents lived) and Rakovnik (where my wife's mother lived) and mind you; the Dutch driving was done every 2 weeks and the Czech part we did every month. We also did a trip to Hungary for a wedding and went back to Holland via Austria to visit friends and did some touristy things...in that little Italian car....the ONLY way we upgraded to the Lancia Lybra was because of seats comfort on the long trips because that little bugger checked all the driving boxes.....so, hands up to small Italian cars! And now back to the video
Ian goes into full Mentour Pilot mode!
Combined with Growler Jams. 😅
Fly Navy 👊
Dear Ian: you cannot imagine how I was laughing when I read the lines «Ypsilon you jet-lagged pillock». 🤣🤣🤣 This is so HubNut. Thank you! See you on the roof --- Martin
My wife is very proud that she had the first fiat Cinquecento sporting in metallic trend grey in the country. Smashing little car. You could rag it everywhere and still be within the speed limit
Great video 👍. It went from a middle aged version of the inbetweeners ( I was really hoping you would hang out the window shouting 'bus w#nkers'), to a funny version of Mentour Pilot (I think V1 is when the door is meant to blow off?), to the Italian job with a little Mcdonalds review thrown in at the end. 😂. The Lingotto building looks awesome, I look forward to seeing more.
I always enjoy your travel videos - looking forward to part 2. That Lingotto factory is a very interesting place.
That’s great how the old Fiat factory has been turned into what it is today! Automobile history 😄👍
I had a Seicento Sporting - Abarth Edition - in bright yellow. Lovely little car. Engine revved for days and it used to scare the living daylights out of my mother-in-law!!
Superlovely car
Good wiping performance, no overlap, no triangle of doom.
A perfect travelogue presented with humility and passion and one which carries the viewer along on a very interesting journey. I started watching expecting ordinary and was given extraordinary. Well done and looking forward to the sequel.
Marvellous,I've not been to Turin,since the late eighties good to see that not quite everything has changed! Enjoying the travelogue enormously Ian ,and how nice to see Jim along for some companionship,hope your well Jim ,looking forward to the next instalment bela bela.
Surely if you were going to take a cassette with you it should have been an album by Turin Brakes… I’ll get my coat
Lovely video! Jim getting so excited at that Fiat 500! You've now had a ride in my old Volvo XC60 too!
The Italian Job reference at the crossing made me laugh out loud! 😂
Aww - I love the sights of italian traffic! Cars in the correct size, not just 2-ton suvs everywhere - heaven! That peculiar streamliner was amazing. Looking forward to part 2.
Great trip report. We love seeing the bits of the journey there being included. Many thanks for sharing.
The NH Lingotto Hotel is my favourite hotel to stay at when we go to Turin in the Abarth .
It looks a lovely place. Jim has stayed there before. I'll have to wait for another visit.
"We have clearance Clearance" "roger, Roger"
I have met jim at car's and coffee with his cinquecento.... he certainly gets around 😊👍🇮🇪
I've never noticed the offset pedals but i only have size 8 feet😊
Excellent video! A great preview for me as I'm visiting the Lingotto centre, the Heritage Hub and the National Automobile Museum in Turin this summer. Thanks, guys!👍
I aim to be there this May with my son.Im so disappointed that the Fiat Storico museum will be closed end of March.I am looking forward to the trip and hope to stay at the Hotel at Lingotto....
That Morelli M1000 looks like a Dymaxion at the front. How marvellously weird!
The posterior washer is an obligatory fitment in Italy in new and refurbished houses and presumably hotels.
Not many know that and, it must be said, fewer care.
Love how they've utilised an iconic building and still use it today, if that was here it would've been left empty for years, mysteriously caught fire and then knocked down to build more identikit housing i suspect.
Great to see you and Jim Collab and good to see Soon briefly.... I would love to stay in the former factory and walk and up down the ramp to think of the little Fiat's going up and down and the roof.
The vintage car at Turin airport look very much to be a 1922-1931 Lancia Lambda. Was a very advanced design for the time, with independent front suspension, and was the first car to use a monocoque body design.
Aviation on hubnut! More please 😅 looks like a fun trip!
Really enjoyed this Ian and Jim. Looking forward to part 2
A fun and interesting road trip.
Loving the trip so far.
Your videos are such a joy to watch Ian
Jim MaGill certainly will not be without a Fiat. Highly fitting as you’re heading to Turin. Wonderful tour of the Lingotto building. Enjoy the meeting with Matteo .
Thanks for sharing your trip with us Ian, much appreciated it 😊👍
I bought a brand new Cinquecento SX back in 1993. Great little car and I had a few 24 hr trips in it to France and back. A suitably place brick made a perfect DIY cruise control for the long motorway slogs.
Had a Cinquecento sporting years ago. It was an absolute hoot!
Thanks for showing us around the city. Hope to see much more
Thanks Ian, a very interesting video.
Absolutely brilliant video Ian ❤👍 what a beautiful city absolutely stunning those classic fiats I've never seen before brilliant
Great stuff, guys 👍🏼😃🇮🇹
What an amazing video!
I am painfully and acutely ashamed of the state of our roads. It makes me really ashamed of my country.
Oh don't worry. The roads in the UK are even worse...
Nice 😊
A great adventure Ian
Great video. I like Italy.
What an amazing building that alone is worth a trip. Look forward to part 2
Rocking the cords Ian. #cordscomeback
The Cinquecento is a wonderfull little car! Looks best in Yellow ;)
Almost spunds like someone has been watching lots of Mentour Pilot. 😊
🫣
It looks like you had a real hoot Ian. It's a bittersweet moment seeing the Fiat building that made so many great cars over the years now only having a couple of exhibits but at least it is still around and re-purposed such that the public can wander around the different areas. Many thanks for sharing.
the Italians will be happy with the Australian F1 GP results.
My two favourite Weird Car You Tubers together at last!
Car spotting in Italy a car spotters dream
That classic at the airport was a Lancia Lambda. Way advanced for its day! And wow, the Lingotto works are very impressive indeed. Meanwhile in Detroit, the Packard factory complex deteriorated for decades and turned into a major eyesore before demolition began. It deserved better. Anyway, I envy you this Italian adventure! Very much looking forward to future episodes.
We have italian friends, native Torinese, who live in the foothills overlooking the city, so we visit quite regularly. Apart from the great automotive heritage, it's just a nice place to be, great food and not so large that you spend hours getting around the city.
Hubnut does The Italian Job.
Absolutely brilliant, congrats to you both and I'm insanely jealous (and planning a similar trip in the not too distant future), I did a marathon tour in 2009 in an Uno which I'd just bought for £150, never missed a beat during the 5500 mile trip (as far as the Southern heel of Italy), sadly I didn't film it but love to bore folk with the tales, did a lesser 3500 mile trip to Turin only in 2015 so it's high time to return ( now with 2011 Panda as wheels...)
I had a brand new Cinq S, loved it!
I had to laugh at "bum wash" as immaturity is a strong lifestyle choice in my household 😂 Great video, very much looking forward to more of Turin.
I loved my Cinq's. I had an Early 1993 L reg SX in Metallic Green with the early round fuel cap and Black dashboard. And, I had the "First" Essex registered Broom Yellow Sporting with a Factory fitted Sunroof that I co-owned with my Dad. We had 4 in the family my sister had a K reg Metalic purple S and later a Red Sporting R reg.
I always wanted a Cinquecento Sporting. Remember sitting in a yellow one at the Motor Show one year!
@@HubNut they are a Tadis inside, for such a small car they were very roomy. I was planning to do ann engine conversion back in 1996. I was thinking a Punto GT 1242 engine would fit as it uses the same engine block as a 1.1 sporting. It never happened. That would have been a lot of power for such a minute car.
Thanks for sharing ! Haven't been in Italy for a few decades - but still miss it. Well ... maybe again after retirement.
Brilliant stuff , your right where The Italian Job (1969) was filmed , I look forward to seeing the test track. Best wishes.
Great video, can't wait for the rooftop track. The memories of visiting the north of Italy many years ago. Industrial done as only the Italians can, nicely.
Memories of Torino, sitting in traffic jams trying to spot little cars and scooters squeezing up the RH side when turning right to avoid squashing them. At least on my side so not totally lost in the mirrors.
This reminds me of when you were in Holland (and various other places) doing a walkaround. So good to see things that are just, well, different!
Speaking of Dacias, my neighbor just got a delicious, wine red Mk.1 Logan with painted bumpers.
Why does Ian yelling at the GPS voice make me laugh so hard?
Raynaair that's like a cheap bus.Thats no flight
I must say, Ian, with Miss HubNut temporarily out of the picture, you two do click very nicely indeed, and it sounds all very natural and friendly. Great vid, as usual.
Would've been cool to meet you around here, altough i don't live that close to Turin
Cracking Travelogue. I was in Manchester a week ago. Visited two large shopping centres in a search for outfits for a wedding. Neither of them were anywhere near as busy as that one. Do Italian businesses have better support than ours? You do wonder.
Great to see Lingotto. I was working at Fiat a few years back (just for a week) and stayed in that hotel (Le Meridien)- I can confirm it was a very nice hotel 😀. I must admit, driving around Turin scared the poop out of me - narrow roads through buildings and dodging the trams. I also got to experience Italian driving first hand. Parking space too small, no problem, just nudge the other cars a little and make it bigger.
Mullets never die they just fade away
I'm liking the unintentional new Panda roadtest, I was looking at replacing my 2011 one with a brand new and now I know that they're not really hybrid to any big degree I'm thinking about it even more, I love a Panda. Thank you for showing us the Fiat building, that place is magnificent.
I hired a basic Seicento in Majorca. I'd actually booked a Marbella, but that broke down within sight of the rental company, so I walked back and got upgraded.
I couldn't drive it with my shoes on. and the accelerator hurt my bare foot after a while.
Otherwise it was a great car for the little roads, and extremely economical.
another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍
Nice to see the Mini spirit of "Make your own lane!" living on there with that Innocenti, but then, italian road rules are optional apparently anyway... :P
The test track at the top of the Lingotto factory is used as the athletics track for the University
AY UP MR HUBNUT
All of my flights have approached l'aeroporto di Torino from the south which means I've bored my fellow passengers pointing out Lingotto and the roof top circuit as well as the Superga crash site of a FIAT aeroplane which wiped out the entire Torino football team.
Great to have you in Italy Ian! Did I spot Matteo Licata from Roadster Life channel at the end?
You did. He stars in the next episode.
@@HubNut can't wait! 🥰
At 18:14, a Matiz was spotted and not commented on. What in the world is happening?
M150. Not a fan...
I own a MHEV Panda, 2023. The 'extra battery' is in fact a 12kwh one and it is under the back seat. It does not do much to be fair, supposed to help the stop start system although today it did not seem to work on mine despite the extra battery being fully charged 🤣Don't you love Fiats, I do 💌
This one didn't have a working hybrid system on day 1, but it recovered on day 2.
Well done 4 renaming a bum washer. Lol😂
You’re in Turin but you haven’t said “you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off “ yet . There’s still time .
Other than the central screen, that interior hasn't changed in ten years. My mum's 2013 is virtually identical.
Would be great to see a review on a Lancia Y10 😊
So the fiat museum was posted before this video, visiting Turin without taking the little fiat sacralidge, regardless Google video from Hubnut with the Mullet.
Is the Cinquecento shell a rehash of the Lancia Y10???
I don't believe so but they do look quite similar.
07:51 Lancia Lambda?
Did you check the door bolts of that 737-800?😰😉
Ha! Not a Max thankfully.
I was interested in a cinquicento many moons ago at a car auction, but was put off when the guy who was supposed to drive it through the block turned to me with the gear stick in his hand which was about a couple of feet away from where it should be.needless to say I passed on this one.
A simple repair 😊👍🇮🇪
Oooooh a volvo xc60 that is on my short list of possible viable cars for me. 😊
I've owned a 2014 model for nearly three years in Finland, so if you want to know more about them?
rented the fiat 500 hybrid and i dont think it moved on its battery
Mild hybrid
No, assist only, never full EV mode.
@@HubNut that explains it.
Hardly any beeping...
Mullet goes overseas eh..... I hope the eytalians where not too offended by welsh hair-styles ;-)
