On a serious note, there are a couple of services that will tell you how many are registered in the US or in a given state(s) for a fee. Is the community up to ponying in a few $ to find out the answer to how many are ON THE ROAD? Or, we could start a registery like a lot of other site do.

And yes I have a registered road going (not today, it's 15 friggin degrees!) spider in my garage.

A registry usually tries to track year, color, vin #, current miles and owner, etc.

A member in our club emails the VIN's to the German site quite often. But some of them were part-outs or not running so you have to look through in the comments section as to what vehicles are probably "road worthy" or not. There is a LE (anniversary edition) registry that several people have done and I try and keep track of the 85's.

I think it would be great if someone did a Fiat Spider registry for all of the care remaining in the USA.

There are at least 40 cars in our club. Running or not changes on a weekly basis.

I've got one obviously, but its not quite ready for the road just yet :( I also would inform you that atleast 4 fiat spiders vanished from existence in Portland Oregon as recycled scrap metal. I just called into a U-Pull-it yard to see if they still had them, they said yes, I went down there to find.. Dun Dun DUNnNnNn... They no longer had them.. Four more Fiats gone forever :cry:

Another car forum site I used to belong to (name with-held to prevent my embarassment) not only had an informal registry, but also a map that would show the locations. It was great to see them "pinned" on the map, and should not be hard to do, if we have enought interest to make it worthwhile.
