New Toy

Picked up this bundle of fun yesterday, 1.8 HGT, 130bhp but weighs nothing, great fun. Love it already.


Not bad for 1500 large!

Bargain for £1500 that.

Very nice colour, I'd love to have a blast in one of these!

It's something I hadn't considered when pondering my next car purchase too. Have fun.

If your near Fife/Dundee then I'd be happy to take you out in it.

I'm in Yorkshire, so far too far, but thanks for the very kind offer

Looks tidy, i was half expecting kit car of some sort by the thread's title - but it's all good!

[OhMyGod]

Anyone know what sort of power gains can be had by remapping one of these?

After driving the other halfs 1.2 active for a good couple of years I can imagine 140-150BHP in a car that feels so light to me would be alot of fun (other than the stupid city steering button which has caused the rack to f**k up twice in the last year).

Its great fun as it is with 130 bhp. Sure u can supercharge them too

Keep it standard, enjoy it and put the money towards your next move up the motoring ladder.

A friend of mine has one in the same colour, 1.2 semi auto though. Nice compared to normal Punto's

A mate of mine used to have a 1.8 HGT .... went pretty well, and surprised a number of larger, supposedly 'sportier' cars.

Everytime I drove it though, the sodding gearknob came off in my hand. I've still no idea why as it never happened to him!
