Short test: Fiat 500C 1.2 8V Sport
In any case, I will go to the sea, and without the above, and then to Trieste for coffee. Trieste is traditionally my training ground, where I try all the steel horses that car shop owners trust me with a heavy heart. I think a bustling Italian city with heavy traffic, temperamental drivers, steep streets and little parking spaces is the most appropriate, if not entirely dedicated, location for my Auto Magazine service. Of course, the Fiat 500 is not the kind of car in which one could open a moving service or transport a Newfoundlander and boxes of tomatoes in it - only the driver and navigator sit comfortably in it, it is easier to put an elephant in a refrigerator. than Cinquecenta. in this case, the trunk definitely falls off.
The kid simply was not, was not and never will be a gangster car. And not only that: I even suspect that the policeman forgot to write me the whole phrase when I flirted with him through the open roof. The appearance of this car is childishly innocent, perfect for smuggling candy. The brilliant story of the blue beauty began when Mussolini invited Giovanni Agnelli, senator of the Kingdom of Italy and the head of the automobile company in Turin, for coffee, and ordered him to make a car that would cost no more than 500 lira and could be affordable. workers. In 1936, he brought the first Topolino to the streets of Turin, which was produced until 1955. Mishko liked Hitler so much that he ordered Ferdinand Porsche to invent something similar, but a little better.
Today, neither Mishko nor Grosz is meant for the working class anymore, but the beauty and great feeling that comes with a blue rider comes at a price. But in what other car would I feel differently in the middle of Ljubljana, as if I were following Rudolf Valentine on the French Riviera? Probably only the Porsche that my boss barely squeezed into. And if this sport-branded car reminds me of an athlete only with sport bumpers and big wheels with wide tires, I must admit that I like to hold this steering wheel and gearbox in my hands. The car is pleasant to the touch, the seat covers are surprisingly comfortable, and the 51-kilowatt, 1,2-liter eight-valve engine spins like a kitten until you make it hit 130 kilometers per hour. highway or crash into any slope. As far as I understand, you can safely write Relax on the car, not Sport. It's relaxation at the top without the bra not biting and you can't handle gravity, but you fly quite a bit. And if the car itself cannot boast of high revs, it certainly boosted the revs of my already good mood.
