Hi

I'd like to introduce myself and my fiat to you guys, shes a beauty only 13k on the clock and only a small patch of rust under the drivers side window.

I've had a couple of 126's before, an aircooled 126 Brown, and a bis with vinyl sunroof. Its been too long I thought and got myself this beauty, much to the dismay of my wife who wanted me to get a "real car"

No the cigarette lighter was added just the other day along with the stereo, thank god there was existing wiring behind the original tray.

I just bought one.  My wife went spastic.  I don't really understand, at one end of my collection I have a Lotus and she thinks everything about that is 'wanger', at the other end I have this 126 which she thinks is a 'piece of sh..' .   It seems to me that if it's got 4 wheels and I'm driving it, she's not happy.

Maybe it's more like if it's got 4 wheels and I'm out in the garage fixing it she's not happy!

Bowman.

She looks the Dog's.

Don't worry about the Old Lady....Mine absolutely hates my 126, and would not be seen dead in it. I couldn't give a toss, as at least she'll keep her nose out of my Manly business, leaving me to mince about in it with  total impunity.

Respect....Norman

Thanks for the support, I feel any car that makes you smile by just looking at it, b4 actualy driving it is worth its weight in gold. Makes me laugh even more now I got my Skull gear shift!

You got a point there, and i must say, this car really makes people happy (well except my parents who think its a a pile of junk) and makes them laugh. and like i read somewhere, it doesnt matter if theyre laughing at you, when you think that theyre laughing with you  :D
