With the Fiat 500, by Daniele Somenzi

Daniele in Switzerland with the Fiat 500 I enter Bellinzona with my Fiat 500, the first model, you know, the one with the double-clutch for downshifting. And slowly I climb up the Gotthard, the motorway I mean. At a certain point, shortly before a long queue, I stop for physiological needs, after which the little 500 won't start again. Damn, what bad luck, with the snow outside and still so much road to go to London. I call a mechanic and he fixes the contact points; I set off again. In Basel another mishap, a puncture, but no problem for that, in four and four eights I change it, and I leave Switzerland.
