Rust ruins vehicles For some people, rust can be the bane of their existence. It's destructive, ugly, and difficult to get rid of. It can get everywhere, and it seems to particularly enjoy cars! Most of these people, which could include you, have never heard of rust removal products and probably didn't know they existed, let alone know how effective, easy and cheap they can be.
New vehicles normally come with rust prevention substances already on them, but once the warranty on the vehicle expires, owners have to be especially careful to try and prevent rust. Of course, preventing rust isn't always easy or practical, and sometimes the only possible solution to rust problems is removal.
How rust forms and spreads
Rust isn't exactly difficult to get either. The smallest chip, cut or scratch in the bodywork of your car can open it up to the possibility of rusting. Once the surface coating has been removed, moisture, oxygen and water all get into the car and begin the process of rusting. Rust is porous meaning that it allows even more moisture in, this is why rust spreads across the car so quickly, but trying to prevent this rusting can be an expensive process.
A lot of people believe that the only method of rust removal is a hefty bill from a professional bodyshop; however, inexpensive rust removal methods are widely available.
Products such as evapo-rust are specifically designed for home rust removal tasks. All rust removal products work on generally the same scientific premise of causing a chemical reaction to cause the rust to break away from the object on which it has formed.
The features of an excellent rust remover for cars
* It rapidly removes rust from ferrous metal and stainless steel
* It's non-toxic, non-corrosive and inflammable.
* It is environmentally friendly by being biodegradable. .
* There are no hazardous ingredients including acids and solvents
* It works at room temperature
* No specialist equipment is required
* It works as a stand-alone product and no secondary or add-on purchases are required.
* Recurrence of rust is prevented for a decent period after application.
* Will not affect non-rusted areas
* It is simple to apply and easy to clear up after operation
Is it worth it?
No rust remover product is a rust preventer – that is an entirely different matter. – but if you can purchase a rust removal product that is effective for a decent period of time it is worth the effort. Having to buy the product for a few dollars every month or so and undertaking the work on your car yourself is a lot cheaper than the prospect of driving around in a "rust bucket" or worse, contemplating the expense of trading in the car for a rust free model.

550th post: Videos++ review: Fiat 500 Classic
550th post: Videos++ review: Fiat 500 Classic
In this blog entry, I'm reviewing the Fiat 500 Classic (Cinquecento in Italy). This is the 550th post. It's produced from 1957 to 1975 and measuring less than 3 metres long (2.97m), 180cm wheelbase and 499kg (0.5 tonne), it's the 1st ever City car.
I still see a few units of this baby running around in Malaysia though it's getting rarer as days passed. The value of the Fiat 500 is determined by body (eg. rust), condition (eg. engine, interior), willing buyer and willing seller (ie, No fixed value).
ABOVE: Rear air cooled Engine, BELOW: Bonnet
The engine's a 17hp 2 cylinder air cooled 479cc mated with a 4 speed manual gearbox. Top speed: 90km/h only.
For more info, do visit this Wikipedia page:

I compiled a few videos of Fiat 500 Classic. Here goes:
The 1st 5 videos were from Wheeler Dealers UK, credit goes to Discovery Channel.

Video 6: Autocar. Fiat 500 meets it's ancestor:

It's so CUTE and CULT Classic that it appeared in Disney Pixar's Animated "Cars" and "Cars 2.".

Without further ado, let's proceed to owner's review:

Owner 1: 1971 Fiat 500 Berlina F review from UK and Ireland
"Original Italian car for the masses, good fun little classics and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine needed some work on purchase, but the car was a bargain at €2,000! Can't remember the exact details - lots of little bits basically.
Will need de-coking next year.
New starter motor cable.

General comments?
These are cracking little cars with bags of character. They're slow as hell, so don't expect to go anywhere quick - average speed in hilly surroundings is 30mph, flat out is about 55mph (with a tail wind) and you have to stop every 80 miles or so to give the little air-cooled engine a breather.
That said, we drove ours from Milan to London in 4 days without any dramas. It's comfortable enough, surprisingly roomy, the engine has a pleasant two cylinder four stroke "putt putt" sound to it, like an old boat engine, so isn't hard on the ears.
And most importantly this car is the cutest thing on four wheels! We originally bought it to sell on at a profit (our €2,000 would have converted into about £3,500!) but it was so much fun we kept it. It's such a head turner. We drive it around London sometimes and people go mad for it. It's so funny. God knows how many photos we're in without even knowing it.
Anyway, economical, fun, cheap (ish) to maintain (though it's advisable to join the local owners club and know a specialist mechanic unless you're already that way inclined yourself) and cute as a button. The only thing is you won't be wanting to do long journeys in it!

Owner 2: 1970 Fiat 500 L review from Greece
"Great car, so much fun!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all. Did the first time I got it the routine maintenance fixed all the faulty things that it got from the previous owner. In fact all these that I have changed, are all routine things.
General comments?
Very slow... But a great fun to drive!!! If you want to have fun buy a 500 and everybody will smile at you!!!
END OF REVIEW. That's all folks, thanks for having the time and patience to read this blog entry.
