Car for the wife sir.

[slobodan]

We all have this problem, (except wimmins i spose)
What car to get the wife.
My mrs can't drive her pickup in the snow cos it's only 2 wheel drive (rear) and won't go uphill or around corners.
I was planning on a FJ40 for her but that fell through.
We had a good pro and con session about what car to get and guess what she come up with?
A Zastava 750 Fica.
I am on the lookout for one now.
Good chance of becoming a classic I think.

Those little Fiats are soo cute..

[slobodan]

I must admit I like the styling, cute, maybe.
They are good in snow apparently because the rear engine and box are right on top of the rear driven wheels,
There are plenty for sale here. Zastava is the same as Yugo.
I am just on the look out for a good original one.

A car called FICA?

A car called FICA?

From wikipedia...

"Zastava 750 is widely known by its nickname "Fića" (Фићa) or "Fićo" (Фићo) in Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian, by "Fičo" or "Fičko" in Slovene and by "Fikjo" (Фиќо) in Macedonian. The nickname "Fića" comes from the main character of a comic published by the newspaper Borba during the first years of the car's production"

[flounderbout]

My wife's choice was a 3.0 2 gen Surf.

[western uk]

Funny enough the Mrs has a Fjord Farcus and loves it.

She gets to drive the Surf when i am incapacitated after a few sherbert dib dabs and hates parking it.

[Predictable Bob]

Jackie refuses to drive the Fawkus at all !
