Newby from Michigan

[simoboni]

Hello everyone,

This is Simone. I just bought a 1981 Spider 2000 FI. How many FIAT have I driven over the last 25 years? Well, a good number, since I was born and rised near Turin, Italy When I was a kid my dad used to drive a 124, and later a 132 and a Lancia 2000. Skipping the numerous FIAT small cars I have driven in the 80's and 90's, it deserves a mention the 1994 Alfa Romeo Spider I've sold right before moving to Michigan six years ago: good car, although way too heavy. I posted a few pictures of my Spider at

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Ciao Simone! Interesting, my dad had a 132 too, the third series, 1600 and 'Climatizzata'
I always remembered that car fondly, even tho reviews I read later did not think it was a particularly good car.
