Maybe it's the season but the forum has been a little quiet of late where postings are concerned - Does anyone have any theories for this??

Site traffic is certainly busy enough with most regular contributors visiting usually once a day. It's always nice to see a fresh topic, a response to one's own previous postings or just some new pictures. However they dont happen on their own and a little contribution from everyone will go a long way to maintaining the site and it's objectives.

So come on - Dont be shy....share your thoughts and ideas with the rest of us 131 nuts, even memories, experiences, desires (all of the 131 variety please!  ) are all very welcome - Sometimes the most unlikely of topics can trigger wide ranging responses and make for an interesting debate.

Keep those project updates coming in as well - I personally find them fascinating. I'm also very keen to hear stories of Mirafiori experiences from when the cars were new or nearly new. And one question I always ask when I meet a new 131 fan is...why do you like 131s? I've yet to hear a boring answer.!!!

If you have found a new website that details something about our favourite car please share it. And in that spirit, there is a very nice original 2 owner 50,000 mile Series 2 Supermirafiori for sale on this site - Have some fun finding it! Cheers.?

I just had a similar thought the other day,where is everybody I guess Simon is right about holiday rush.Shame `bout the rain in the UK though it would be more than welcome here in Croatia.We`re frying our nuts here with the temperature as high as 40 degrees Celsius.Anyway my alibi for not posting is i ordered a bunch of body parts (pretty much the whole front end ) from our buddy Yagmur from Turkey,and awaiting eagerly for it to get here.I must say that it`s a pleasure dealing with him as he is fast in delivery and rather cheap .Well,since we`re talking holidays,it`s best for all of you (with your 131`s offcourse) to cruise the Croatian coastline and maybe have a swim.It sure beats the boring rain .

Hi Covjek

You are just tantalising us with pictures like that - Your country looks very beautiful - In fact any piece of dry land looks beautiful at the moment ? - I am just home from 5 days at the office looking forward to the weekend and the rain is just bucketing down. We have had rain every day for 46 days now - Officially! ?

No 131 Driving until Sunday at the earliest! ?

This is the first transaction from Yagmur that I have heard about. Maybe for the benefit of all the other members (and Yagmur) perhaps you could send us some pics of the parts that you bought, prices, cost of delivery and how quickly they arrived. I'm sure that a good experience will encourage more business.

This was London today after about 30 minutes of rain! 

Turn your PC speakers up loud, click here - Waterfall (by Triumvirat) and sing along please...

It's been raining for a fortnight or longer
And every day the pressure's getting stronger
All the houses slowly sink into water
We have enough to drink
But the food is getting shorter


WATERFALL- Here's another day
WATERFALL- The sun has turned away
The sky has opened up the doors
St. Peter's trying to sweep the floors
He sent a million raindrops on their way

WATERFALL - Here we go again
WATERFALL - it never seems to end
We used to drive but now we float
So sell your car and buy a boat
But you can't escape the pouring rain

Everybody's looking for a solution
The weather experts, The Department of Pollution
On the news they said there's no need to worry
There's nothing we can do
Just learn to swim in a hurry

WATERFALL - Here's another day
WATERFALL- The sun has turned away
The sky has opened up the doors
St. Peter's trying to sweep the floors
He sent a million raindrops on their way
He sent them on their way

And it rains and it rains
It rains all day
The cities are washed away
And it rains and it rains
It rains all night
It rains all the time

WATERFALL - Here's another day
WATERFALL - The sun has turned away
The sky has opened up the doors
St. Peter's trying to sweep the floors
He sent a million raindrops on their way

WATERFALL - Here we go again
WATERFALL - It never seems to end
We used to drive but now we float
So sell your car and buy a boat
And if you buy a second one
It could turn out as lots of fun
And never mind the pouring rain

RAIN RAIN DONT MENTION BL---Y RAIN

my route being M42-M40-leamington spa-some strange villages- the panama canal to rugby-over the north atlantic to daventry-down the M1 round the M25 then the M3 taking in the sites of tonga and fija as i floated past everything.
Its now saturday and I am still GGGRRRRRR as missing the boys at the pub on a friday night -despicable 
So if any one has a boat
