An early 'Happy New Year' to all.
Ill be travelling over the next few days and dont actually arrive home until 31st Dec so here's wishing you all well for the new year.
I hope you all have your New Year Resolutions sorted ;D
I dont think i need say what mine is. ???
I love the way this forum springs into life, im an online member of a few car related forums some with 4, 5 or even 10 times or more registered members and most of those sites seem to languish in the doldrums with little posting activity going on over this time of year.
A single post on this forum however can solicit a wave of responses, just go look at Thotos Gear Knob  :o

or THE RED LADS man overboard posting

Either we are all 'Billy no Mates' ;D and in need of online friends who enjoy each others writings and company ::) or whats more likely is that we are all brought together by a common thread that is the FIAT 131/132/124 etc.
Heres to many more years motoring and again a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all.
Steve & Dawn

PS: will be driving UK to Spain from 11th January in my 1984 XR3i, just thought id mention it as im sure someone ::) might want to stand by the M25 motorway and pelt the car with eggs ;D

Well Steve their was 23 people online at one stage but I hope it was humour that they were in for or maybe seeing what THE RAD LAD might do  :o :o :o but Steve if you are in Ireland drop me a PM and you can join in with some of the Irish Craic and a few pints of the good stuff  ;D ;D ;D

Lads now look what you have gone and done  you woke up da red lad  oh no ::)

Well I am awake now and had a good rest so I am bright eyed and bushy tailed  ;) ;)

I think (I need the check to be sure) we've reached a record for the week of 22nd December to 28th December with over 1500 page views. It seems us 131 people didn't have much else to do over Christmas  ;D

Steve dont worry about your XR3i on hols as we can arrange security for you if the eggs come flying  ;D ;D

Xr3i escorts are cool motors, as are series1 rs turbos

Now Sid are you getting a soft spot for the oval badge there

Most of us have been tempted by the dark side over the years  ;)

I already have a soft spot for some fords namely the fiesta ghia xr2 mark1 & those mk3 escorts, i dont like the mk1 or mk2 scorts they are only gates, & of course the auld sierras & tinas.

Graham i have been to the dark side a few times, i had this one same time as FIB 1588 but sold it on after a while in the sport, she was just for legal purposes as i had been a bold naughty boy before that in a ta23 celica & a super mirafiori

i also have a bit of a soft spot for the blue oval, had the xr3, xr2 and an RS1600i.

Now Sam what have we told you about mentioning your life on the dark side  ::) ::) ::)

thats was a nice one seamus, those are very rare now.

Now Seamus did you ever have your name in the sun strip at any time of owning it.

I know what you mean, I had so many 'producers' (God that sounds so old!) I down traded to my Panda..... still drove it like a loon but it wasn't as noticeable or loud as my Ford  :D

wow  sid 20k is he haveing a laugh 10k is max for this car
you would get a low milage black 3 door rs 500 for that money
i had rs turbos loved them and xr3i s great cars

they didnt give me a producer Graham they just kinda locked me up!

Ha,ha.....we had a mate like you who was locked up, had his car impounded and had his licence taken... all because he showed up the driving of an unmarked patrol Rover. They took their sump out on a traffic island chasing him as he drifted off a roundabout....back then they didn't have lights on unmarked vehicles so he thought it was just someone having a go with him.

Oh the joys before CCTV  ;)

I was always weary of any car I didn't recognise and I was a bit more careful of where and when I had fun  ;) 

it was like whats a licence havnt i got hands & feet lol! took the cops a good while to catch me but they did in the end & it taught me a lesson so i have been legalish ever since

It is the festive season and we should not be sitting there with the lap tops on standby checking this site every so often every night as so many of us do but it does get addictive i have to admit. ;D ;D ;D

its what i call part of the 131 disease with no known cure! right now the main pc is on & the laptop in the sitting room & the nokia n95 in the bedroom all on this forum & the celica ones, please help ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sid .......
I thought when im at home i was bad !!!
You do need help  ;D ;D ;D ;D

i got a new phone for xmas also so i can have the n95 tuned in all the time without a sim, great wee computer it is.
there is another n95 the silver type new in the box from last xmas never used (long story) must tune it in to the internet as well ha ha ha . ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yeah I too have calmed done a good bit in the last few years and I even have to be a good boy in the UK after they tried to lock me up for coming off a slip road sideways and then merrily pushing the ton but sure I was young then....

the north wales police locked up 2 mates this year (for a few hours releasing both when their boats had departed) when bringing cars over one for using his mobile while driving & the other for driving with no tax lovely blue ae82 which the took off him & crushed later bstrds! John had to go back to court twice & the pig didnt turn up, deffo anti Irish  there

I guess the 2 weeks off during Christmas helped as well...
It at least made me Junior member within a month...
Few more day's and then back to work

well now dave it must only have been in the recent past that you have calmed down as i was a passenger in the coupe and my knuckles are still white..............never had my name on the sunstrip tg.
