Unbelievable little car

Danno · Post by **Danno** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 8:39 am

27 years old (give or take)
hasn't run for 5 years (give or take)
got about 250 miles on it since it started running again
Started right up in 16 degree weather this morning!

I love this little car.

Haha, no. I may be stupid, but I'm not crazy.

Haha Mike. Hey, I'm the only one here certified to make that call (I'm a psychologist) and all the voices in my head agree with me that I'm not crazy.

so, have you analyzed what mental condition pushed you into Fiats?

in a way, yeah. I mean I only got the car because my brother-in-law was crazy enough to buy it as a daily driver. So really it's all on him in a round-about way. I already knew he was crazy though, he married my sister after all.

madness is hereditary, right?

So Dave, I'm not a psychologist but I sleep with one and it sounds like your projecting your obsession with Italian convertibles on your brother? He may have started your addiction but sooner or later youâ€™re going to have to admit youâ€™re hooked on Fiats and take full responsibility for your addiction. It's OK though Dave you have friends here and we know what youâ€™re feeling.

By the way it's 75' and the top is down, I have given into my addiction.

LoL, I sleep with a psychologist too, how messed up do you think our kids will be.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know you are enjoying 75F weather!!!!!

PS, it's DAN, but I'll let it slide because I don't want you to misinterpret my fit of rage as being nuts or anything.

So, Dan. With two running Spiders, and one parts car Spider, and one project Spitfire....i am looking for an X 1/9 too.

Is there a cure for me?

yes, but you won't like it. It would require giving me the triumph when you are done with it.

What do you need with an X, Mike? Geez, you guys have it bad. I feel myself backing away to keep from catching this disease of yours.

My addiction is so bad I have resorted to dealing in guns to support my Fiat habit!! If my time is not occupied with something constructive I find myself searching the internet for something I "could" need for my Spider one day or even second guessing the parts on the car I already have. Did you guys see those bumperets out of Germany that just bolt up to the bumper shock mounts, they look awesome! See there I go again lost in the world of Spiders. Fiats were originally my Methadone to get me off of Corvettes but I have just traded one addiction for the other. Well I have to go now I just saw a cool roll bar on line and my Grandmother is out for the night playing Bingo and I think I found out where she is hiding her jewelry.

Dan, read my signature line more carefully. that triumph has always been available.

Denise, Don't try to kid a kidder. You already got it bad, and you know it!!
