Snuck it in...

Post by Danno »

Wife wanted to take some shots for a Christmas card today. I convinced her to let me bring the spider to the "shoot." none of the car shots will be on the card, but at least I got a couple for me to use!

Looks great how much did it cost to rent the good looking family for the photo shoot?

Well it was gonna be cheap until the rental family saw the crappy Fiat. Then they tripled their price.

Great pictures! The red wheel on the left front is a nice Christmassy touch!

It was fine, it was only you who was cropped out :-)

Nice family and photo Danno. I try and sneak my car into photos when on job sites for work. Are those the Napa turn signals?

I found those stupid things at the farm and home supply store. They are marker lights, and low wattage, so they really suck for my blinkers, even with two pairs of marker lights.

Danno, I asked because they look almost exactly like the lights I found at Napa. I think you will be much happier with these. See this thread: http://fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19768
