131mirafiori forum

Hi all and a happy new year to every one , Great article in RETRO CLASSICS  on Kevin 131 and his

stunning Fiat 131 sport .      nice one Kev

Thanks Sean - It was a very pleasing article from my perspective. We almost didn't take any actions shots but as there was a break in the weather and I don't live far from a couple of nice big roundabouts I spent nearly half an hour getting dizzy while the tail wanted to let go. I'd have liked to get some opposite lock shots but trying to co-incide that with Andrew taking his pic would have meant quite a few attempts and possibly some interest from the law! :) Anyway the action shots were the cherry on top for me.

Buy the magazine if you have an interest in 131s. I know they can do with the sales... :)

Here are a few pics from the day. The sand bag on the tripod is a lesson learnt from experience - A gust of wind could easily topple the light on to pristine paintwork!!  :o

Well done Kevin great article  hopefully it might help to bring the 131 racing where it belongs above the escort ;D especially that  yellow thing on the front cover ;)

Got the magazine the other day kevin .. some super shots in there ..
they should have given you the front cover .. :)

Hi All.
Just got my Magazine today great Six page rite up on the 131 plus Kevin mentioned a lot of his Friend's on
this Forum so thank you Kevin.This might even get more people interested in the great 131 again so for
that thank you Kevin.The Pictures look great bye the way ;).
       Willie.

Cheers guys - Apologies if I missed anyone out.... :)

Yes I was secretly hoping for the front cover but as we got the front cover for an issue of Vintage Scene (sister magazine) it must have been hoping for too much... :)

hi kevin, excellent article and wonderfull pics of your car fair play to you for keeping the fiat 131 scene alive . :)

Cheers Seamus.

Who knows but we might recreate the old scene and camaraderie and have a thriving 131 scene in Ireland again. God knows there are enough of them around here! You might even be tempted to join the fold and get another 131!  ;D

Great!

I will look tomorrow at the airport if I can find the magazine.

And even my name in an irish magazine ;D Thanks for sending with the nice presents for Eliana Willie & Mollie!

Ela, Eliana & Albert

mine too, makes me really proud  :)

Well done Kevin, 6 page article wow. Have tried looking but will have to purchase via online.

Now that the magazine is out of circulation I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules by posting pics of the article on here for anyone who has not seen it.
