Title: Blowing out the Cobwebs.... Post by: kev131 on March 02, 2008, 03:51:27 PM After a day yesterday admiring Fiat 131s that I've not seen before, like Simon's comment, the 131 juices were in full flow and with the advent of a clear and dry Spring morning today my tango machine was treated to a gentle (and later not so gentle) awakening from it's winter hibernation.
Once warmed up it ran like a dream, a testament to the many hours my knowledeable mechanic has spent on a whole series of jobs since last summer. It didn't miss a beat and I cant wait to get it on the road to Scotland - Now less than? 11 weeks away. Took some pics in the sunshine... as you would expect? 8) ...and some footage as I pretented to be a boy racer up and down my road.... ;) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/Mirafioris/Marchrunout020308003.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/Mirafioris/Marchrunout020308004.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/Mirafioris/Marchrunout020308005.jpg) And the video footage...Sorry it's a bit dark but I'm new to the camera and at this stage of the day the sun had disappeared. The microphone does a decent job for a small digital camera though... ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd9syHLpwpo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zb4knJ6BYE Title: Re: Blowing out the Cobwebs....

Post by: kev131 on March 09, 2008, 12:29:45 PM Hi Gerry - I went in to Easons yesterday all excited to see my car featured in the magazine - As you say though, it was only a quarter panel in the background while a Morris Minor was the main attraction!? ??? ::) :o
