Suffering from Spring Fever!!!!

Post by mdrburchette »

Good gracious this is the longest winter on record. I'm ready for Spring and Fiat weather again. Found this pic of the Moonshine Rally that really has me depressed:

a foot of snow on the ground, and only 25°F as i type this. we saw 7°F this weekend.

is that a LBC parked in the wrong direction? no wonder that picture makes you sad. Those Brits never seem to know which way is which.

Boy that looks like fun. I can see why it would depress you. I want Summer to come asap also. The only thing that keeps me from getting depressed is the thought of all the interior work I still have to do. :roll:
Whats really going to depress me is if the FFO comes and I'm still at home. :?

61' degrees here in Okeechobee with the Sun shining today. I am surprised at the number of people that came out to the range to shoot today being Superbowl Sunday and all. Must be because the weather is so nice! Keep posting those pictures of your cars and houses covered in snow, I love those!

61 deg. is hardly anything to brag about. That would be considered a winter death chill out here. It only got up to 80 deg. the other day, I debated switching from shorts to long pants.

I would imagine the shooters were warming up for the big game since it's down your way...
I'd be depressed over that Moonshine Rally too if I showed up as the only Fiat in a British Love-In

The Triad Austin Healy club is the club that puts on the Moonshine Rally, so I guess we should expect more British sheet metal than Italian, but if you look at the old Corvette on the right, you'll see it's surrounded by Italian cars. Heck, I'd go for a drive with crotch rockets if it got me out of this cold, wet and snowy weather.

Ron's there now, working between mud slides. Make sure you order up some pretty weather in the middle of March for sightseeing! Can't wait for my little vacation.

Italian iron did pretty well that day. I don't remember how many Fiats, about 8 or 10 was it?? Denise placed well and was feeling darn good about her trophy until her nemesis (and good buddy -- Robert McNabb) was called to the podium for the 1st place prize! Good times!

Yeah - but only Denise has those gold IDFs! Wasn't too bad earlier today here in Dallas - took the spider out for about 30 mins of topless fun.

You can fly down for the Safety Harbor show in not so sunny Florida . Tampa airport and St. Pete Airporst are 10-15 miles awy from the show.

I'd love to and I'm sure I could just drop the kids off at Disney and be good for the entire day!
