Hello there my McD collegue... ive been working there for a year and a half now, mostly night shifts and its really ok...

youre being really honest, but im sure if you needed your car to go somewhere, and it was broken, youd find a way to fix it...

the cinq is a ok car, but its just that ok, lacks the caracter of the 126 or 500.

What engine is in the cinq? is it perhaps a watercooled 2 cylinder?

anyways... welcome...

mate dont worry your young and you will find your talent only it takes a bit of time, if you worked for the golden arches that proves you will go forward and do what a lot of people would nt , i know too many people who snub a job there but moan about not being able to get work! get into a body shop and explain what you have learnt and ask for them to let you work say one day a week for free so that one you can learn from them and two they can assess if in the future they would employ you. not only does it get your foot in the door but it gets you busy for a day and away from the boredom of unemployement.
 when you have the dosh you can then bin that water boiler and buy yourself a proper 126 ( obviously an aircooled 652 ) lol.
 so welcome to the forum jamie!

Welcome Jamie, my son.

What Bis 13 is true. The Aircooled is certainly a more manly proposition.

Also, with youth on your side, you have plenty of time to find your vocation. If it's any consolation, I was still mincing about until about 25 years old.

The 126 and 500 are much nicer then the cinq for sure.
I dont know much about engines but the cinq is 899cc its got a rad. but doesnt work 2 well.

Thanks for welcome!!


:Edit:

903/899 cc

The bigger engine was the 903 cc 40 bhp DIN (29 kW) version of the veteran ohv four-cylinder engine, which saw service in many small Fiat models, starting with Fiat 850. (This engine dates back to the initial 633cc unit as introduced in the 1955 FIAT 600.) It was fitted with fuel injection and was the base engine in most markets. Due to fiscal limitations, the displacement of this unit was limited to 899 cc in 1993, with a slight reduction of output, now producing 39 PS ECE (29 kW).
