New Adoption!




We had to. This is the EXACTLY THE CAR we used on our wedding. The guy was selling it and he made us an offer we couldn't refuse... so now this 1971 Fiat 500 ("cinquecento" in Italian) is part of our family. This one is more then a simple car...it's a piece of history. Expecially for every Italian family. There is no one I know that haven't driven this car in his life or had to do with it while growing.
Here if you wanna see how a Fiat 500 looks inside (very cool 360): http://www.360bilder.de/html/vrqt_fiat500.htm
