Hello All,

Just a quick question.
I have been striping the interior out of my sport and have found a disc with loads of differant times on it and for the life of me I cant figure out what its for unless its suppossed to be something to do with rallying?
Anyone know?

I'm guessing it's a parking disc for a disc parking scheme? We have one here in Carlisle.

Nothing to do with rallying at all I'm afraid. It's a parking time indicator, as mirafioriman very correctly pointed out,  which is needed in Italy. When you park in certain places in Italian cities where parking time is limited, you need to display the time you parked. Most people in Italy have clip-on indicators which they fit to their visors or even stick-ons that stick to the windscreen. In the photo below that Kevin took of the Trevi in Italy you can see such a stick-on parking indicator. Fiat obviously thought it was wise to have them fitted as part of the visors of the 131 Sport. Strange really because all other models of the 131 don't have them.

Not only in Italy. On the Continent, as you islanders (and, Theo, you are 2 times an islander  Grin) call it. Where you drive on the correct side of the road.  Grin  Grin Incidentally, most of us do have this handy dandy blue indicator card in the glove box  Cool
