131mirafiori forum

Anyone going to this show?

sorry no got an F.M.C  late christmas BBQ ,IT GOT SNOWED OFF IN DECEMBER  :P

would have come along but I've other committments I can't get out of.

 :) I hope to attend Sev, I know my 131 is not on the road but it will be nice to see any Forum members, I do wish there were more opportunities for members to meet up besides the 3MA event which is solely for driven 131's.

Ian,

Don't always rely on others to organise an event for 131s matey. ;) Choose a date and a location, post it up here and get people together. ;D

I'll not be at Stanford Hall as it's my birthday and my wife has other plans ??? Hope I like them! ;D :D

Simon :)

By the way - 3MA isn't soley for 'driven 131s'. I think virtually every year - including this year - people came without a 131 and were driven round in a 'friends' 131.

Steve (Parrish) and his missus Dawn drove all the way to Turin from Spain last year in a 'non-131' ;D, then Steve went along in Theo's Sport and Dawn in my Abarth for the duration. ;) This year Robert came to the event with Enzo in Enzo's 131 Abarth replica as his own car is being sprayed.......

If your car's still not on the road next year post up here - I'm sure someone will be glad of the company in their car. ;)

I should be going to this show aslong as it's not peeing it down before I intend to leave.

Noisy bus as my 2 year old calls it gets a going over tommrrow.

Hello chaps,

Sorry I have been absent of late but work matters have taken over and my mind has been occupied by things fibre ::)

Anywho, I'll not be at Stanford Hall either as I'll be working on my bungalow again weather permitting.

Good luck to those going and remember your brollys.

Nice color what is the code of it?

Took my dad and the Sport down today. A good turnout and brilliant weather whilst we were there. Two 131's in all. My camera decided not to switch on so relied on my phone.

Some other 131 photo's too.

Hi Jay,

I left at around 2.30 as it seemed like it was gonna pee it down.

Hi, thanks. The car was painted before i got it. Been told it might be a Ford colour.

There are some very nice cars there... Too bad tha your camera didn't worked... We would have some more great pics...

nice pics  8)

I passed my driving test in '79, in a '78 2 door escort that, thinking about it, was very similar if not exactly the same colour as your sport . Now I know why I like the colour so much.

The escort sounded like a nicely tuned monster. Didn't get a chance to have a look under the bonnet.

I suspect some twin carbs as you could here the growl as it drove through.

  have you been lowering the sport bobby

Thanks for the pic Jay.  :)

Where did you find that?

Not lowererd anymore since recommision, but it seems to of settled down a bit since I first changed the spring's and shocks. The spring's are not standard. Think they are Koni spring's as the car I took them off had koni sports all round from the early 80's. Originally had cut spring's cable tied to the rear axle.

Handles really well at the moment and not overally crashy at all. Spax rear adjustables are well recommended. Well worth the money i'd say.

Will have to see what the koni's are like sometime.

Had some good fun coming out of Stanford hall through the country lane!
