Walking to the car one recent Saturday morning, I pressed the unlock button on the fob, heard the central locking activate and pulled the door handle. It didn’t open the door, so I looked at the remote and pressed the button again, thinking I had pressed the wrong one the first time. Still nothing. That’s [...]

I mentioned in my last post that the 100hp was shortly going to need a new set of tyres, well, after it being called into service on a far more regular basis than the beginning of this year, that time came around a little sooner than expected. Adding 1500kms in just a few weeks saw [...]
Seeing as it was 2008 when I last updated the blog, I thought it was about time to add a little something about the Panda. In the eight or nine months since the 20,000km service, I have completed another 5,000kms and had no problems whatsoever! As always, I hope this statement doesn’t jinx my run [...]
The Blaupunkt stereo and its inability to play entire CDs of MP3’s was the only real issue I’ve had during my ownership of the Panda, so it gives me great pleasure to – for now – put the problem to rest.
I had been burning my CDs with an HP laptop and a program by Sonic, [...]
It has taken a while to get there, but the Panda has finally amassed 20,000km’s under its wheels and with that figure came the message ’service coupon expired’ on the dash display along with a little picture of a spanner. I had booked an appointment with Spicar in Alimos when the car was on 19,900, [...]
After many months of the Panda doing a simple, slow and short journey everyday, we took a small holiday outside of Athens, giving the 100hp 600 kilometres to stretch its legs. We headed off and took a 150km journey along the old National road of Greece before turning off towards Arahova and Delphi which despite [...]
I know there has been a lack of updates on onehundredhp recently, but there is a very good reason for that; I simply haven’t been doing the mileage! Since the service back in May I have done no more than 1000kms and all that has been made up by work runs – the same road [...]
This happened a while back, but work blogging has left little time for personal blogging so my update is a bit late. Still, never mind it’s not as if there was much to say, which when it comes to a service – and a service at a Fiat dealer at that – this is a [...]
After the praise earned in yesterday’s Driving Experience post, will it be more of the same when discussing Practicalities and Dealer Experiences?
We purchased our 100hp on the opening day of a new Fiat dealership on Vouliagmenis Avenue and were their first ever sale. They organised a test car for us, took the order and also [...]
Today, it’s the Driving Experience.
I sometimes wonder if people read this blog, notice the car and the website address and think ’seriously pal, it’s a Panda’, which after all, is a very accurate statement. It is a Panda; a small city car that doesn’t cost a fortune to buy or run, doesn’t do stupid [...]
