Hello from newmember in Somerset
« on: January 05, 2008, 04:57:54 PM »
Ello! If you haven't already guessed my name is Diana and I live in the heart of Somerset. I absolutely adore the Fiat 126 falling for a car I saw being sold quite cheaply. She needed a little TLC, her bumpers were bleached with the sun, her paintwork slightly faded and a hole resembling a tear under her left headlight made me feel she needed the love she had been missing after being stored away in a garage for 9 long and lonely years.

My 2 year old daughter and I, plus the odd occasional passenger in the form of our Airedale Terrier Archie, needed a little runabout to take us here there and everywhere in little ole Taunton, at a small a cost as possible and the 126 fit the bill.

My birthday is close and every one who knows me best, are all sending me halfords vouchers in order for me to purchase the right stuff to make her gleam and shine once again.

This little car has found not only an owner to look after her, but some one who is going to love her for some good times yet.

I was thrilled to see a place where like minded individuals shared the same thoughts and feelings regarding this little car and I couldnt wait to join.

I look forward to the before and after piccies of my little Bitsy being shared with the members here should you be interested. But understand this, she is not a winter project, she a commitment.[/color]
