2016.12.12 getting two Cinquecento for 100�
2018.02.01: license plates, yeah! (not so easy in germany)
summer 2018: P/I regulation tuned to better performance
field weakening for higher rpm activated,
sounds like a jet now beyond the valid (gear-)rpms
(90 km/h in the 3rd gear!)
2019.11.14: The Cinquecento is now our favourite car, degrading
our Diesels to grandfather clocks. It´s the perfect
city-hopper(and shopper)
summer 2020: the emsiso edrive400 died without announcement...
replaced with emdrive500 (more power:-)
