So starting up, I'm Nelson, 26 years old and owner of 2 131s (1.8 and 2.0 TC's) a Fiat 132 GLS 3 Delta's HF Turbos and a few others. I own a taxi company, wich was from my grandfather and the taxi is a beautiful Ford Sierra 2.0 DOCH EFI. It just started to work one month ago replacing a REAL problematic Peugeot 406 Hdi. The Ford is awsome so far. I'm loving it and costumers like it too. I'll post some pictures later on

Great idea - I hope it is successful - There are so many Seat 131s still in every day use in Spain...and lots more being cherished as classics. Have a word with Steve (Parish) on here too.

You may like to note that there are two big Fiat 131 events in the planning stages.

(1) 3MA13 in Bavaria in May 2013 - Details on this forum.
(2) 3MA14 is currently planned for Turin (Torino) - Details to follow in the future.

Cheers

Kev

I don?t see people participating in a event this far from center Europe. I'm sad that I lost the last meetings but one day I'll sure participate in one. It's just having all my junkies on the road :)

I would love to go to Spain-Portugal but it is too far from here to have a lot of members. I bought my Alfa 6 in Malaga, needed 3 days of driving and a lot of diesel one way.  We should go there all winter and drive around ;D

Why was your 406hdi problemetical?? I know them as ultra reliable??
