welcome back everybody, hope you had a great week, because mine was kinda boring. luckily i have this blog to write. So i just wanted to start saying that even though I can't drive legally, it doesn't mean that i didn't drive before, in fact I have been driving my grandpa's car over the whole summer, I know what you are thinking and no! i didn't drive over anybody. let me show you guys, the " not new" fiat panda 2a.
Now, before you all start laughing, think that my grandpa is 78 and he does not need a fast or beautiful car,
believe me when i say " this car is full of memories" one of them is when my grandpa used to take me, my brother and our 15 friends around, all of us together stuck in there, it was like a human Tetris and it was so fun! so today she is in the spotlight! she deserves it!.
How you can all see, it is not a new car. It was first offered in the year 1991 up to middle 1991 in Europe but similar models were first produced by an Italian car manufacturer FIAT in 1986. It is really small car and  it only has three doors, its weight is 700kg or 1543lb. You may think that it doesn't go fast... and it really doesn't, its maximum speed is 125km/h or 77m/h the best thing is that most of the times it won't even get to 70km/h, 43m/h ( when my grandpa drives). Its fuel type is petrol and its emissions are really high ( you guessed it). It gets from 0 to 100km/h in 24.7, 62m/h in 24.7 seconds so you accelerate but you almost don't feel it . I used to tell my grandpa to drop off and push the car " I bet you can make it go faster!!", we had such a great time. this model has a fuel capacity of 40 liters, 10.6/ gallons and has a consumption of 5.2l/100k which was pretty good at that time.
They don't produce them anymore so the only way you can get one ( i know you do)  is to buy it from somebody else.. which means " pre-owned". that was it for today's blog, hope you enjoyed, see you all next week,
bye!
