Sprung into life!

[parrish]

An early 'Happy New Year' to all.
Ill be travelling over the next few days and dont actually arrive home until 31st Dec so here's wishing you all well for the new year.
I hope you all have your New Year Resolutions sorted
I dont think i need say what mine is.
I love the way this forum springs into life, im an online member of a few car related forums some with 4, 5 or even 10 times or more registered members and most of those sites seem to languish in the doldrums with little posting activity going on over this time of year.
A single post on this forum however can solicit a wave of responses, just go look at Thotos Gear Knob

or THE RED LADS man overboard posting

Either we are all 'Billy no Mates' and in need of online friends who enjoy each others writings and company or whats more likely is that we are all brought together by a common thread that is the FIAT 131/132/124 etc.
Heres to many more years motoring and again a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.
Steve & Dawn

PS: will be driving UK to Spain from 11th January in my 1984 XR3i, just thought id mention it as im sure someone might want to stand by the M25 motorway and pelt the car with eggs

Well Steve their was 23 people online at one stage but I hope it was humour that they were in for or maybe seeing what THE RAD LAD might do  but Steve if you are in Ireland drop me a PM and you can join in with some of the Irish Craic and a few pints of the good stuff

I think (I need the check to be sure) we've reached a record for the week of 22nd December to 28th December with over 1500 page views. It seems us 131 people didn't have much else to do over Christmas 

[theredx19]

Steve dont worry about your XR3i on hols as we can arrange security for you if the eggs come flying

Xr3i escorts are cool motors, as are series1 rs turbos

Now Sid are you getting a soft spot for the oval badge there

Most of us have been tempted by the dark side over the years 

[sid131]

I already have a soft spot for some fords namely the fiesta ghia xr2 mark1 & those mk3 escorts, i dont like the mk1 or mk2 scorts they are only gates, & of course the auld sierras & tinas.

[sid131]

Graham i have been to the dark side a few times, i had this one same time as FIB 1588 but sold it on after a while in the sport, she was just for legal purposes as i had been a bold naughty boy before that in a ta23 celica & a super mirafiori

[sam22]

i also have a bit of a soft spot for the blue oval, had the xr3, xr2 and an RS1600i.

[theredx19]

Now Sam what have we told you about mentioning your life on the dark side 

[sid131]

thats was a nice one seamus, those are very rare now.

[theredx19]

Now Seamus did you ever have your name in the sun strip at any time of owning it.
