Joking aside, Brad Artigue's work is an invaluable resource to Fiat owners. I also had links to his site, and would often add a link into a post to help others. Does anyone know more about this?

It's down. Not intentionally, but I've been too preoccupied to put the files back up. My old site (hosted by godaddy.com) was constantly causing problems, so I brought it down with the intention of restoring it same day, then life got in the way.

I'll try to get them back up in some form tomorrow, 6/4.

Brad, the second I came across your info i had it all printed and I put into workshop binders so I would always have them. I have since lent this valuable information out to fellow Fiat owners. From me & anyone who has ever borrowed these from me I say "Thank you"

^^ I second that. There should be some Italian knighthood for actions above and beyond the call of duty to Fiat owners.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I have long been toiling with a revision to the modifications and maintenance book, and hopefully one day will get it posted.

Regarding older version, there is a red covered version of the FI booklet that I published in 2004 or something like that. Don't use it. It's complete crap. Part of the problem with the Internet is once something is out there, it's out there, and that was a bad draft that was quickly revised...eventually they were both superseded by the blue M&M book, and I wish I could get rid of all old versions.

Brad, I'll third, or however many it is...
Your incredible dedication to providing, free of charge, your wisdom, in a well written, easy to understand, format, has helped many owners for years. I, like others, have dog eared printed copies of the material you have posted.
I don't think there is anyone out there with any lack of patience for what, or when, you provide!
Thanks a million, from all, I'm sure!!
