    #homebuilt #fiatpanda #auction
    This week we have bought one of the most underrated cars on the road but maybe one of the best.
    Top Gear host James May used to daily one for years before downgrading to a BMW I3.
    This little Fiat Panda will be perfect for a new driver or a young family, wait till you see the transformation.
    As always guys thank you for all the support and kind comments on the videos, it really motivates us to create bigger and better content so when we return from our holiday we have loads to come, stay tuned.

    I love my 2007 Panda. OK, it's not fast and it has issues. Having said that, it easily keeps up with traffic at normal speeds and is surprisingly nippy. It reminds me of the old Mini. Because it's so simple there is not much to go wrong. The fan belt squeaks on startup and there's a lot of road noise. However, I can get 40+ miles to the gallon and its cheap as chips to insure. You'd be mad not to have one!

    Had loads of FIAT's over the years - 127 - 128 - Uno ( several ) - original Panda ( several ) and a Mk1 Punto that was great - even a SEAT Marbella ( essentially a MK1 Panda wit the cart sprung rear ) however a 59 plate later Punto broke that affection - we just didn't bond.
    Mate of mine gave me a go in a 2020 Panda Cross ( very new for me ) - what a blast !! What a great car.
