Title: 131 shrink Post by: 106usj on July 18, 2010, 03:10:17 PM My wife today said quote ("you are bl**dy obsessed with that bl**dy 131 s**t")
Is there a hidden 131 shrink section on this forum ??? ;D ;D Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: parrish on July 18, 2010, 03:15:57 PM Its not hidden, its the whole Forum ;D
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: david on July 18, 2010, 06:49:49 PM 106, I get that kind of abuse from my wife all the time so your not alone. I do remember my ex mrs years ago saying to me "its me or that car" to which I replied " your replaceable the car is'nt " needless to say that relationship didn't last long after that and I still have the 131 ;)

Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: kev131 on July 18, 2010, 06:58:28 PM Ha ha - Seems a common problem I think. :)
Well one way that I dealt with it was to encourage Jacquie to become a member of the forum and she has now been to 2 3MAs, in joint first position for lady attendees with Simon's wife...and just remembered Ela too. :) Her first car was even a Fiat 131...although I might have had something to do with that! ;) Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: 106usj on July 18, 2010, 09:49:26 PM LOL ;D nice one David
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: mirafiori76 on August 15, 2010, 09:15:03 PM My wife doesn't understand me neither. She rides a horse... On the other hand, I don't understand her either. It's just one bhp and it doesn't even fit under a bonnet...
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: curt on August 16, 2010, 08:48:23 AM It,s 1 horsepower -746watts -1 BHP is different-unless the horse has a flywheel
;D ;D Mind you there are horseflys ;D ;D Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: italianxrays on August 16, 2010, 01:40:52 PM :) I just asked permission ( so you know who wears the trousers ) to put my 131 on our drive for a while as my eldest leaves home soon and will free up a space, guess what she said " no way, it was bad enough that old rusty Alfa" - sadly scrapped the Alfetta, then "if it comes then I go " easy choice I guess ? watch this space.

Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: stathe174 on August 16, 2010, 07:21:04 PM ΧΑΧΑΧΑ "Unlike the car the wife fitted the door quite nicely..."
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: mirafiori76 on August 16, 2010, 10:05:29 PM I had nine 131's...and then I got married.......................................now I have 3 left
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: simon131 on August 17, 2010, 07:37:04 AM Ah yes, marriage and kids seem to have the affect of reducing a man's fleet ::) I had 13 assorted Fiats the year following my wedding, including three Series 3 2000TC Supers, and now I have only three Fiats! I sold my lovely 124 CS1 Spider when my son came along in 1996 so that we could buy a 'family' car :-\.
Still, I have a double garage full of 131 cars and parts with another 131 'growing into my garden'. :o ;D I'm glad I have the 131 disease - and I think the only cure is to buy another one!! ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: kev131 on August 17, 2010, 08:11:10 AM I had nine 131's...and then I got married.......................................now I have 3 left Mike - Are you "Ghost in the mirror..."? ;D Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: 131R on August 17, 2010, 11:33:00 AM My story is a bit different. Had only 1 Fiat, got married with a wife that earns a good salary and now have plenty Fiats!
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: mirafiori76 on August 17, 2010, 08:55:42 PM Hi Kev,
Yes, still am. When I check my mirror every morning anyway. ;) :D Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: kev131 on August 17, 2010, 09:55:14 PM Hi Kev, Yes, still am. When I check my mirror every morning anyway. ;) :D The penny just dropped for me...if you understand that expression! Welcome to the 131 forum at last! Maybe you might come to a 3MA soon, maybe next year in the UK - Should be a short trip for you! ;) Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: mirafiori76 on August 18, 2010, 07:18:55 PM I surely would if I had a 131 running. At this time I only have 3 left. I'm rebuilding a group 4 car and this one isn't finished yet. Second car is my OLIOFIAT replica which I recently took apart. It was in serious need of Restoration and I will build it now like the original group 4 car. Last and certainly least my Walter Rohrl Racing which won't run. Already posted a topic about this one, but until thus far nobody can help.
How is my old orange Racing doing? Is it the one on the picture you use with your replies? Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: stathe174 on August 18, 2010, 08:18:53 PM I have also a nervous breakdown because something is obviously wrong with my gas pedal... It's not going all the way down and I can't drive my car... Another weekend project :D :D :D
Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: djape1977 on August 18, 2010, 08:51:18 PM still not married and here's the result:

Dinis on August 20, 2010, 05:07:22 AM And I though I was crazy ;D :D Even though, this became a wonderfull post because I just started to date a girl almost 3 weeks ago but things look pretty serious already...

Her answer was, Ok, since you don't interfeer with my football passion it will be ok (ok honey, your dumb answering that, but it's up to you and you just said it...... :D )

Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: ADIGA131 on September 14, 2010, 11:54:33 PM My story is a bit different. Had only 1 Fiat, got married with a wife that earns a good salary and now have plenty Fiats! well send us the photos of your fiats after the marriage ;) and for me i'll try to find a wife with these qualities (good salary+have no problem with more fiats) ;D ;D after all lucky u ;) Title: Re: 131 shrink Post by: Henk on September 15, 2010, 05:06:52 PM Unlucky you...
I hated Fiat's all my life and just bought this for my wife 15 years ago 'cause it was a cheapy... (Expected it to last for one year max...) wanted to scrap it 10 years ago but my wife got attached. She wants to keep it forever and to be honest, I want that as well nowadays... No regrett sofar.. Even the wooden box from yagmurs parts (Doors, bumpers, wings etc.) is having a second (and last) live in my fire place right now as it is getting colder here in Holland |
