Hi all!
My name is Kody, and I'm from just outside Mahone Bay in Nova Scotia, Canada. I've been a huge fan of the classic 500 and 126 for years now and fully intend to import one to Canada as a "weekend" car when I finally land a full-time job and get my own place (recent university grad). Both cars were never sold here (except some VERY early 500s in very small numbers), so it would be a unique ride to get people smiling and asking questions!
Joined here to talk 126s with other enthusiasts and maybe get a little help with the import when the time comes!
I'll probably be looking into getting an ELX as I would want some of the later features for Fall season use over here when it gets a bit chilly (it would be stored for the winter, of course!). An EL or FL would be OK too, but as long as it would have rear defrost, front demist, an unleaded head I would be happy....electronic ignition would be nice too, but it's not a requirement
Color wouldn't matter, but I would prefer something bright like red or orange (preferably not a respray), as more noticeable = good in a small car in a large country!
It will probably be awhile until I actually can import my own, but I am slowly scrimping and saving a little for one and, until then, I will live vicariously through you folks!
Until then, my Daily Driver is a poverty-spec (no A/C, no power windows, no power mirrors, no ABS, no Traction Control, no Cruise Control) 2009 Hyundai Accent hatchback, which you folks never got in the UK - so I will be used to the 126's lack of creature comforts!
Cheers!
