Title: Andy's car in Retro Rides
Post by: kev131 on October 11, 2009, 03:54:36 PM
I've always felt that this magazine is the most enthusiastic about classic Fiats (aside from AI that is....although AI goes through phases of concentrtaing on the more glamorous Italian cars).

Fantastic therefore to see a 131 on the front cover (again) and that the car this time is belonging to one of our forum members, ie AndyC.

It's a good read with lots of great photos..... (I'm surprised Anita is not in the article seeing as she gets a few good mentions including some about being a great role model for other females hitched up to Fiat 131 loving guys!)  ;) Plenty of shots of Andy looking pensive and deep!  :)

It was also nice to see the forum mentioned, the annual get togethers, our first one in Killarney and a shot showing the 3MA stickers. The journalist even mentions 3MA as if readers will know what it means - Well at least some of us do! ;)

Nice one Andy - More promotion for the Mirafiori!  ;D

thanks guys

as for Anita being mentioned alot,if it wasnt for her i probably wouldnt have got the 131
so i  probably would never have met any of you guys and never gone on a 3ma or italian car event
or held a eastbourne event etc etc so thats why she got mentiond.

I like the action shots myself had a right laugh in there car park

It wasn't easy getting the magazine in London either!  :-[  I went to several newsagents in North London last week and none of them had it. Eventually managed to get a copy in WH Smiths in Enfield on Sunday  :D  Great article and we now know a lot more about Andy  ;D  I really like the main stationary photo but the lighting in it is strange; there are shadows in many different directions  :-\  Either multi-lit or photoshoped. But a great photo and would make a great poster.
