 Unfortunately we couldn`t make it at the end even though I got the re-test done Saturday morning :(

 Anyway there is plenty of other shows and the car is now roadworthy, so we`ll definitely be out and about in it.

 Rusty I found a photo of that 126 on the Fiat Forum.

That green Fiat 126 is in vg condition and original green interior. From I understood from Rusty, the owner is not a forum member.

Only spotted 2 x 126's myself, both green! Lots of old 500's though. Sorry didnt chat any of you guys, was busy in the Abarth section! Good day overall though, enjoyed seeing all the planes and cars!

Well spotted 1973/126,is that your real name by the way ?
I drove a green 126 but did not spot any welsh blokes but I did pick up a welsh scarf from the ground and hung it on the railings by the Fiat Forum base. if you check out the group photo you will see that when asked to wave at the camera Markymarc surrendered by holding up both hands. I think that he mistook the long lense camera for an AK47  ;D

Was it a lhd pastel green aircooled? Think I saw you breifly pootling around, but never saw where you parked? Never got the chance to speak!

That would have been me , I did have a bit of a pootle as I know from past visits to Brooklands that the 500s park up by the aeroplanes which I did for a short time then I took the sneaky back path that gets you to the bottom of the historic banking where the Fiat Forum guys park up and worked my way up there. Shame we did not meet, I could have flogged you a new set of Abarth wheel centres for your 500  ;D . My '81 DeVille is the one 3rd from right in the picture on the club home page  :)

Ah I see. Love that colour, got a thing for green. Maybe next time, I do plan on going back. Wish I could get the 126 down there, but its a 500 mile round trip, mostly motorway so its near impossible for the 126 bless.
