Doesn't *feel* like slow motion. And actually, used to drive the cinq faster
than I do the 147. Once got chased by the police (I didn't know it, until
I was putting it in the garage), and they said they couldn't keep up (mini
roundabouts, tight corners, told me not to do it again). Hehe.

Odd thing - people will sit behind the 147 in a 30 speed limit at 30mph.
They'd overtake the cinquecento. Same at 70 on a dual carriageway.
