Anyone else live in Rhode Island?

Post by jimmycakes401 »

Just wondering if there's folks around. A club, a place to shop? I've seen people mention RI in treads, but not where anything is located.

I think there are a couple of folks in the Fall river, Swansea Rehobeth area as well. Also I think Casperini (sp) is in Bristol or Warren

Did I read somewhere that there's a Fiat parts store in the state? Does the new dealer sell parts?

Wow. No junkyards in south RI have Spiders. Darn. Going to check south east CT. Not sure what I need yet but I want them to put them on hold so they don't crush them on me.

Fun Imported is the closest parts vendor; Danny O'Donnell is in Vernon CT. Web site is: funimported.com. A real good guy to work with.

Awesome! My folks live in CT. Either of you have a lead on cheap seats? Just got my fiat to my garage finally. My wife's uncle gave it to us. The seats were all taken out and left under a tarp. A bit moldy. Trying to make due, but it's pretty nasty. Wouldn't mind something newer. Even with a tear here and there. Only 62,000 miles on it. Which is cool. Hopefully it will start!
