Any particular reason for "Lucky"?

BTW, if anyone is interested, I picked up the car in question on Friday afternoon. After introducing her to the family, and having a drive around in her for a while, my five year old announced that she (the Punto) was called Fiona.
"Why Fiona?" we asked.
"Because that's her name."

There's no arguing with my youngest. When she decides upon something, that is it. So, Fiona Fiat it is!

She's a lovely car.

Just a bit unsure about the clank sound from the back end when I go over a bump...

That'll either be the exhaust or the spare wheel jack.

B

quite a few sites mention something about rear suspension problems.

My Punto is being called Lucky 'cos she had a new door fitted due to an accident 3 days before I bought her 2 weeks ago. On Friday a drunk woman drove into her on a roundabout. Where did she hit me - slap bang on the new door

Lucky is being ironic

Fiat Stop.
Maybe that's some sort of Freudian warning.

I have a black Mitsubishi Carisma which is vaguely (and now I've looked for piccies on Google I understand just how vaguely) reminiscent of the 1960's Batmobile.

It is referred to as "The Blackmobile" (but that is not it's name because naming a car is naff, it's a machine - I don't have a name for the fridge, TV, shower, etc).
