Hi from Cheltenham :)
« on: December 19, 2008, 11:19:16 PM »
Hi,

Just a quick msg. I would like to introduce myself. My boyfriend and me just bought a Fiat 126 Bis today. I hope he is going to be a good car. His name is Charlie, he was made in 1989. I'm looking forward to driving him, as I used to have one before, although that was a water-cooled version. We are from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
We have to sort the accelerator cable out tomorrow as it's sticking. The previous owner bought the replacement, but the mechanics had "better things to do" and couldn't be bothered to heal him.   :o Maybe the wd40 is the key and there is no need to replace it. We'll see it soon ;)

I wish you a lovely weekend :)

Hi,

Thanks for welcoming me :) You will have some pics, but he needs a good wash, hopefully tomorrow the weather is going to be like today's and we can clean him, give him a wax and upload some shiny pics about him ;) He had an oil change today, we wanted to change the radio as well, but of course we need some extra cables or whatever those things called as the new one is different from the old... Any idea where can we buy the fiat 126 sport seats? I don't feel safe on these "almost reaching the middle of my back" type thingies... ;)
