went up santa pod this saturday a good 300mile round trip for the first big run out for my car
and i must say the car didnt miss a beat and got lots of looks from other road users even people
asking questions when stuck in a jam on the m25.
the weather kept dry and parked up with some lanica lads

Your car looks better every time I see it Andy - Pity it wasnt in Killarney!

Go on then....put us out of our suspense - How did you do against the 'tina and what motor was the competition packing...?

Hi just to say andy came 2nd in the run though he did get a fair ol speed out of his motor, and he was racing against a turbo tina, there were 2 blokes sitting behind me while i was watching Andy, and one of the blokes was nearly peeing himself with excitement, he was saying to his mate "Get a picture of that white fiat, its the best car here, its brilliant, etc etc etc, i so wanted to turn round and say "That's my husbands car "but i contained myself, it got me thinking though how great it would be if all you 131's could get together more often, just think what impact you would have around people who really appreciate your old rust buckets, ( only joking)

Well before i say anymore to the detriment of your LOVELY fiats, i will go.

Love and stuff

I went down on the sunday Jason. The vintage sports car club was there racing at the same time which made for an entertaining day out.

The owner of this twin engined sud (ex 131 owner) is after another 131 2 door for restoration. If anyone has one for sale (not too knackered) i'll let him know.





The edwardian cars were fantastic to watch. Those guys must have big balls to throw them cars around with virtually no brakes,no belts or harnesses and 3 inch wide tyres!

This 27 litre Napier Bentley smoked the tyres from the hairpin all the way up to devils elbow!




Opposite lock was the order of the day for most of the guys out there!


This car was the most entertaining of the day. Sideways everywhere! To say the driver was nuts would be an understatement.



Close action!
