Picture the scene,a leafey suburban cul-de-sac,two 126's nose to nose one has'nt been started in years,then after tweeking this and adjusting that it bursts into life.If Carlsberg made car moments,it would probibly be the best car moment in the world   Then to cap it all a woman pulls up and asks me if I could fix her FIAT Gammine (noddys car) cool .

Well the bis had'nt been running for at least three years I think (Jason owns it),the gamine I think its been longer.I'll keep you posted.It would be nice to see one on the road. :DTo get the bis going I took the points out and cleaned them (there was no spark).got a spark.Then checked for fuel(pump had packed in.Jury rigged a gravety feed straight to the carb and hay presto it burst into life.I adjusted the timming and it was running like a wee mouse chewing paper (It really does run sweet Jason).
