Fiat sightings in Salt Lake City

Post by WarbirdAL »

Today while working which includes a lot of local driving I saw no less than 4 new 500's, a 1980's Spider and a 72 Alfa GTV with California plates. What an Italian day I had!!

Al! What's up!
So, there's some old boy out here in the ghetto where I live that drives a very clean 80'ish Spider. Orange. Can't get him to wave. Any idea who that is?

And as for fun sightings: I was on my way home from selling beer at the Def-Lepard / Hart concert the other night at Usana. I had my boy with me. We were cruisin' top-down, and as the light went green, I grabbed a gear and kinda stuffed my way between a couple SUV's. then I ducked into my neighborhood. Moments later my phone rang and it was ROOK. he was in one of the SUV's! :lol:

So that time it was ME that got SPOTTED! :D
I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!

Last week I was in front of my work, and I heard the kind of motor sound that makes enthusiasts turn toward the street. It was a 750 Abarth Zagato Double Bubble! 'Blew my mind! It sounded great, and though I only got a brief look at the car, it looked nicely un-restored.

This was last Wednesday in Eugene, Oregon on River Road.
