Orange Beach Festival
« on: March 01, 2013, 06:06:50 PM »
I'll be putting the club name on display this weekend (unless something goes horribly awry) in Orange Beach, Alabama! This is my 126's first American show! After work today I'll be putting the polish on her to spruce her up nice and pretty.

The little Fiat will be taking on the American muscle car scene.  I've heard a Corvette club will be there.  My camera is already on the charger for more pictures than I'll know what to do with.  I wish more 126s could be here for this event. At least our Fiats have a turning radius of under a city block and get over 10 miles per gallon!
I didn't do it!  ...unless it was good...  ...even then it's still debatable...

Sorry it took so long to post this, but here's what happened:

The 126 decided it didn't like the valve cover gasket anymore and rid itself of the apparent pest, resulting in oil everywhere, including my wife's car who was following behind me.  Fixed the car at the gas station where it finally died, filled her with oil and drove home. Went to the car show to find out I pretty much missed everything.

This is the 3rd show this car has gotten out of because of the valve cover gasket mysteriously disappearing.  It can't go 5 miles to a show but went over 50 miles (split fairly evenly between highway and city) the day before without issue.

I tell her every time I fire up the engine I'm not taking her to a car show.
