well, the dealer has rang me today... apparently my car is in the country... woohoo... but he says it will be 'a couple of weeks' when i should get it. not bad to say he told me it would be at the end of march! :eek: bit ****ed off as it will mean i have to make another payment for the megane and i have another 2 week of expense for it.

anyway... seeing as i have to wait, i thought i would find some video's of it on youtube... seems like it's pretty good on the handbrake, something i found the megane to be a bit crap on due to the aviation design of it!!

looks nice, are they doing an abarth version of the grande punto?

yeah, think its gonna be 150bhp as standard, although there is an upgrade available from fiat themselves to boost it to 185bhp... :) 1.4 turbo.

dave, you've got to get it lowered and put one of them kits on, looks lovely!

yeah the kit looks fantastic. i would like to put some coilovers on, but they are expensive. dont really wanna fit lowering springs as it will make the ride too harsh like it was in my corsa and ignis sport... plus it will eventually knacker the springs, and i want the car to last for about 3 years, although ive told the missus i will be keeping it for 5......... haha as if!!!!! :p
