131 shrink

[simon131]

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'.

I'm glad I have the 131 disease - and I think the only cure is to buy another one!!

I had nine 131's...and then I got married.......................................now I have 3 left

Mike - Are you "Ghost in the mirror..."?

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!

Hi Kev,

Yes, still am. When I check my mirror every morning anyway.

Hi Kev,

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!

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?

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

And I though I was crazy    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... And then I read this... And showed her a few of this comments.... 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...... )


At the age of 23, this is my personal garage (in mom and dad's place )

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
