131mirafiori forum

I am putting up this one as I am booking the area for the Fiats this year as I am trying to get a double space this year. If anyone is interested in bringing a modern or classic Fiat your are more then welcome as it is the best show in southern Ireland and full of some serious cars and cars that some folk might remeber been shoved in the back of for a weeks holiday in Wexford or Kerry. This is the link to the site and all the forms are on it along with previous years pictures http://www.irishjagclub.ie/ but if you can put your name down on this thread.... thanks Dave

Wondering what this means?

Was for all those folk who might have enjoyed the 4 hour drive to Wexford with 7 others all shoved in the back of an old Fiat wondering if they were there yet. I have been down to the Jag club today and have booked a site for 25 to 30 cars as 5 places are gone in the first 2 hours so any one interested please put their names down and fill in their forms and send them in to the address on the form...

Ah those memories of going to Dublin to stay with our aunt in east wall, first it was a morris minor then a kadette & then in 1976 a yellow 131 series 1 less than a year old, that was the start of it allright.

We'll bring a 127, could bring a 2nd but I don't think they'd let in the scrapyard refugee? ;D if it was VW it'd be ratlook.....

Is this still happening Dave? Any special arrangements for Fiat owners..? :)

Yeah still going ahead as the stand is pre booked sp all the fiat drivers have to do is turn up as I am xure most people would have pre booked and just enjoy their day then.....

127 Sport pre-booked, spent the last week sorting mucky fuel tank and blocked carb, and fitted 4 matching spark plugs (ahem Sam22 ;))

SORRY BLUE 850 NEVER EVEN NOTICED THEY CAM OUT OF MATCHING BOXES.

bugger :(, plastic union on fuel pump is cracked ,probably from when I changed the fuel hose,and is leaking like mad, have a spare out of a scrap 1300GT but its worn and it won't run properly.. looks like Tereunre in the everyday car.

what do you mean by plastic union on fuel pump ?  ???

The pump on the Sport had a plastic pipe that the petrol hose connects to, had to change the hose as it was rubbing of the alternator pulley, cracked this piece of plastic trying to get hose off, 1300GT pump has metal pipes, I knew when I took it off the car that the GT pump was worn, I was going to split the pump and swap the body over but the 1050 pump is held together with 6 screws and the GT with 5 ::) . Fitted it to get the car mobile, ordering a new one today

I was thinking that was what you were on about , had a spare but had to change
my own  last year when the tank was full of sxxt . drove all the way from London
and packed up 1 mile outside Killarney . :'(

I couldn't make this because of visitors but it looks like I saved my car a soaking.  ::)

Can anyone report on what Fiats turned up and in what numbers? - I've seen photos from many other sites but little evidence of Fiats there.  :(
