Fun in the sun

[simon131]

What a lovely sunny day we are having in the south-east of England today So sunny in fact that I've driven my Abarth the 6 miles to work How cool is that?

Had to go home at lunchtime and move the Abarth out of the garage so that the electrician could change/uprate an RCBO (breaker). So, as it's a sunny day I thought I'd take it back to work with me How I've missed it's funny ways Not the sort of car that should be used every day IMHO, but great for those jaunts in the sun.

Got to work and was surrounded by co-workers - all having good comments and smiling. Some even took Arbie's pcture on their fones Had to take my new line manager out in it to - to the local supermarket about 2 miles away because he'd 'forgotten' that his car was in for a service!  

Yeah, having a good 131 day today

It's just as nice a day here too Simon.

My new garage door has just been fitted and both 131s are coming out of hibernation in about an hours time to see their new home and to adapt to co-habitation (after an initial getting to know each other session I'm expecting some baby 131s in a few months time).  

Did any of your co-workers question the 131's authenticity...?

Raining in Spain and my car wont start!

Simon,
I had the very same idea  but alas my 131 didn't start 

Kev,
if you need any of those baby 131's adopted when they arrive, I'm sure we can find good homes for them 

[simon131]

No Kev,

No-one questioned it's authenticity, but then most of them didn't know what it was

My car started alright, which was certainly a bit of a surprise. A couple of turns of the engine and several pumps on the accelerator had the engine spinning a treat

lucky you Simon,
churning and churning over with no success.
