Daniel Radcliffe purchasing Fiat Punto Saturday, June 2 2007, 11:44 BST Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has decided to buy himself a Fiat Punto to celebrate his 18th birthday next month. The actor - who gains access to his £23 million fortune when he turns 18 - has decided that he does not want to draw attention to himself by purchasing a more expensive vehicle. A friend of the star told the Evening Standard: "Daniel is very excited about coming into his fortune on 23 July but he's not going to become flash all of a sudden and go on a mad spending spree. He is quite a sensible lad and has been planning for this day for a while. "The first thing he wants to buy himself to celebrate his 18th birthday is a car. He's done a bit of research and really likes the Fiat Grande Punto. Daniel is concerned about the environment and this car has been voted one of the top five green cars in Britain. "When a big, flash sports car whizzes past, people always assume it's someone rich or famous inside. It draws a lot of attention to you and Daniel didn't want this." Woooo for Punto's!!! That said, mine is on the verge of conking out It's in the garage tomorrow so fingers crossed, but I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those costing more to fix than the car is worth jobbies. I don't want a new car *waaaah*

That's a newer style one, mine is about 11/12 years old, we've had it about 9 years this summer. It looks like this one below, but in a somewhat sunbleached red colour

I still think he's a complete a tool. Likable, but a tool. And no matter what he fucking buys the attention will still be on his scrawny white ass so he might as well as bought a bentley or some shit.

no one should have £23 million at 18 years old, he can't possibly have any idea how to spend it, a fact proved by the fact that he's not even getting a cool car like a convertable mini cooper or something but a fucking punto! (no offence pink!)
However I, at the grand old age of 27 knows exactly how to spend it and therefore should get the entire sum immediately.

I agree with abs!
If I were ritch I would but a good car. Not that this car aint good, but still, why not by some type of car thats both environmentally friendly AND expressive.
Though im nearly 18 and I think if I had that much money I would buy a good car, a house in the city, pay of my uni-fees for next year, spend some money for my self, fill up my new house with.... stuff.... and hire someone to get me a degree at Uni!
Thats what I would do!

Sorry, but you can't get cooler than a Punto, just through their association with me! It's no wonder Dan Rad wants in!!! If I had loads of mullah I'd buy a fleet of them, in every colour, so I could match them to my outfits XD But I would have to get my old school Beetle, new Beetle and a Camper He has £23m now?!?!?!?! Give me his phone number. I would so shag him for a slice of that XD

ewwwwwwwwwwwww you'd shag dan rad? raaaaaaaaaaank!
I'd rather shag one of the people who own one of the yachts i saw in Ibiza on friday, they were huge, dad reckoned some of them were worth about £20 million and my bro in law says that 10% of a boats initial value is the amount it costs to run each year:| so a 20 million yacht would cost £2 million a year to run....£23 million doesnt really cut it does it?

Yes I don't think he is either... *shudder*. It's just that he doesn't look like the usual twit in all the other photos. He looks like he might acutally be 18 years old.

Woah! Dan seems to actually be a man in that newer piccie! Still not nice-looking though - but an improvement, I think
