Blowing out the Cobwebs....

[kev131]

After a day yesterday admiring Fiat 131s that I've not seen before, like Simon's comment, the 131 juices were in full flow and with the advent of a clear and dry Spring morning today my tango machine was treated to a gentle (and later not so gentle) awakening from it's winter hibernation.

Once warmed up it ran like a dream, a testament to the many hours my knowledeable mechanic has spent on a whole series of jobs since last summer. It didn't miss a beat and I cant wait to get it on the road to Scotland - Now less than? 11 weeks away. Took some pics in the sunshine... as you would expect? ...and some footage as I pretented to be a boy racer up and down my road....







And the video footage...Sorry it's a bit dark but I'm new to the camera and at this stage of the day the sun had disappeared. The microphone does a decent job for a small digital camera though...

Holy crap that's a nice car. I can't wait until my 131 is pretty.

Hi Gerry - I went in to Easons yesterday all excited to see my car featured in the magazine - As you say though, it was only a quarter panel in the background while a Morris Minor was the main attraction!?
