Title: Re: Fiat V Ford - God bless YOU TUBE Post by: simon131 on March 21, 2007, 07:22:18 AM Kev - do you spend every spare minute trawling the 'net?? ;D ;D (good on ya!!)
These scenes of 131 Arbies thrashing thru the stages are absolutely superb! I came over all 'unnecessary'! :D :D The shot of the three 131 Abarths all together, driving along in convoy almost made me cry! What a fantastic sight! I must get me one of those.......... The opening scene of the 124 Abarth flashing it's headlights was very reminiscent of something that happened to me on Monday night. I went to collect my Arbie from the local garage where my 528i Sport had been MoT'd (long story.....). It started first time (naturally 8)) but when I turned the lights on ('cos it was dark!) only the offside headlight worked ::). Upon inspection, and poking around the great many 'after market fitted' relays I got it to work, but only after the horn sounded! ??? ??? It turns out that 'Johnny Foreigner' who owned the car before me has wired the horn through the same relay as he has wired the nearside headlight! :o Just as well I know how bad Italian electricians are otherwise I'd never have found the problem!! Theo, I think I like 131s too........... ;) Title: Re: Fiat V Ford - God bless YOU TUBE Post by: 20vturbo on March 21, 2007, 04:04:38 PM i think i noticed an abarth with series 2 back lights on it,around the 3 minute mark?

Title: Re: Fiat V Ford - God bless YOU TUBE Post by: kev131 on March 21, 2007, 07:02:04 PM Yes it was interesting to see a series 1 and series 2 abarth in the same frame.
Simon - To answer your question, yes I do spend a lot of time on the "net" - TV is very much a second option in my house - It's reserved for Rugby and F1 - Not much else - Oh yeah and to watch my box set of the New Avengers! Mmmmm............ Purdie!? ;D Most of the interesting sites are saved as favourites and a quick trawl through all, each day, can be done in minutes. It's like a pandoras box of treasures out there - Lots of lovely surpises to find!? ;) And only too happy to share with the rest of the 131 community. Title: Re: Fiat V Ford - God bless YOU TUBE Post by: Thotos on March 21, 2007, 07:44:50 PM New Avengers! Mmmmm............ Purdie! ;D Talking of whom and as this is a Fiat related site, did you know that she was the proud owner of a Fiat Vignale 125 Samantha (http://www.geocities.com/motorcity/garage/2068/vignale_125_samantha.htm)? The car was for sale at the NEC Classic Car show in the late 90's (or might be early 00's) but my daughter wouldn't let me buy it! I like Samanthas ;D Title: Re: Fiat V Ford - God bless YOU TUBE Post by: mick131 on March 21, 2007, 07:49:47 PM Nice one Kev !!
Just watched the You Tube vid and I am proud to own a 131 rather than a Dagenham dustbin. |
