Hello Folks,

Well I've lurked as a guest recently but as the wife has collected her new (to her) 126 BIS today thought i should say Hi.

Im her tame mechanic so will be looking for technical advice from you all at some point im sure.

Here is a pic of our new baby.............................

Brush painted pink with flowers

) Nice!!!

Its pretty solid and drove us home the 120 miles from collecting it. The exhaust is Fubar'd so I've ordered a new one online, is 50 quid plus the vat a good price for a BIS exhaust?

TTFN

a bloke driving a 126 is one thing... but a pink one?

I wouldnt go that far, my driving is quite varied, I currently run a 2CV, 2.8i Granada Mk2 estate and have a V8 Camaro coming next week

Im happy to be seen driving the fiat, I have to say its very enjoyable.

I have seen the pink 500's Chris, wouldnt mind a 500 myself too

hi, i like it

trouble with the Bis is they only came in 4 colours so its great to see a different one. love your choice of cars too, wouldnt mind a 2cv one day

Matt S · « **Reply #8 on:** October 02, 2006, 05:49:41 PM »

I didnt realise they only came in 4 colours, this one was originally white. Thanks for the compliment on the other cars, 2CV's are great fun, ideal compliment to a 126
