FIAT 500 - 2007 MODEL !

Following the moves of other car manufacturers that have revived classics (e.g.: the MINI and the New Beetle), Fiat is bringing back it’s old adorable Fiat 500, the town car with a boxer two-cylinder engine that came in either 479cc, 499cc, or 594cc displacements. There were even estate and convertible versions.

Fiat’s new Fiat 500 is set to be a 2007 release model based on the Fiat Panda platform, and word is that the two-cylinder configuration is coming back, now in turbocharged form! The engine is set to be a two-pot 0.9 liter engine making between 90hp to 110hp and 120Nm of torque, which is likely to kick in pretty low in the torque band considering the usual turbocharged torque curve patterns. The photo above is a computer generated rendering of how the new Fiat 500 could potentially look like, but expect the production version to retain all the retro looks of it’s predecessor.

More powerful variants will use the new Fire 1.4 liter engine that will also be put into the new Fiat Bravo. It makes about 150hp, doesn’t look as nice on paper as the 1.4 TSI from Volkswagen but still commendable. Will the modern interpretation of the Fiat 500 enjoy the same runaway success that BMW has had with the New MINI Cooper? In case you don’t know how the original Fiat 500 looked like, a photo of a 1973 variant is available after the jump.

This is one of the topic that I choose out of 10 topics .I sat down and started brainstorming .I begin to have thoughts and started writing .

IN LOVING MEMORIAL OF IVAN WONG ( 1987-2061)




"Those that believe in him will not perish but have eternal life”(John 3:16)


In loving memory of our dearest Ivan,

Ivan Wong was born in Kuala Lumpur on the 4th of September 1987.He became a Christian on the 8th August 2000. Since young, he loved watching cartoons and action movies. His favorite cartoon show was Smurf. He loved watching movies as a hobby. During his teenage years, he enjoyed collecting bottles and cans of cokes and stamps. Ivan has a few collections of various stamps and cokes from all around the world. He was home schooled since his high school years. Ever since his high school years, he had loved doing Mathematics. He had always wanted to become a mathematician. At the age of 18 he was offered to study Performing Arts at Sunway University College. He graduated at the age of 20. He then, took his Bachelors at University of Tasmania at the age of 21 in year 2008. Soon after he graduated, he was offered for a scholarship at New York Film Academy. He graduated with a PHD in Film Production two and half years later.

Ivan wrote his first short film on November 2006 entitled “UNPREDICTABLE”. He wrote, directed and produced the film all by himself. Ivan began having more inspirations to write more and more screen plays and songs. He was also extremely talented in writing rock songs. He gathered a few of friends and formed a band. His band won a first place of the competition “Battles of the Band” in 2010. He then had an opportunity to record his first song album in Hong Kong with Ron Von Du who was a famous producer in Holland. Ivan migrated to the States soon after producing his debut album. He won the award for Best Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Album in 2011.

Ivan produced a music video for one of his songs titled “Don’t Want to Lose You“. His music video was voted the best in the MTV Music Video Award under the rock & ballad category. He continued to write more songs and slowly moving on to feature films. He became the main actor and directed Mission Possible 2. He also became the director of photography for that film. He became well known for his directive comedy style of that film. In 2012, Mission Possible 2 won Best Film Soundtrack of that year.

On the 9th September 2015 Ivan married Chrysais Ai Jean Louis who was a famous corporate lawyer in the States. She gave up her career to help Ivan with his production house. Ivan then bought a house 2 months after his wedding day at the oh-so-exclusive Beverly Hills. He spent 25 million USD in constructing his wonderful sanctuary. His garage is has 4 sports cars and 7 classic cars. His only child was born when he was at the age of 30. He named him Christopher Blake Wong Rue Wen.

As times passes Ivan eventually retired and spent most of his time reading the bible. Ivan was sent to jail leaving behind his family for 2 years because of missionary work in the Philippines. After he was released, he set up a fund raiser for the disable kids in Botswana. He donated 1 billion USD worth of his shares to help the disable kids.

Ivan passed away exactly on 5th March 2061. No one knew the whereabouts of his deceased body. Not even his family and wife. He was reported missing in Beverly Hills around 5.03am. Police reports were made saying that Ivan Wong went missing for a long time and no one had found any evidence of what had happened to him. Many believed that he was raped and was burned to death. Until now, no one knows the cause of Ivan’s death. Many wondered how he died but for me, I prefer to wonder about the days I had with him.
