How’s This for Roadside Assistance?

[Exit98]

The new 34 ADFA on the Spider was having some teething problems. A distress call goes out to NJFIATS.org and who shows up, the two resident 124 guru’s, Ralph DeLauretis and Scott Wilson. Back on the road in no time, problem resolved.





Really, how do you thank these guys?

Nice improvement from the 32 ADFA. Mine never idled right, the new carb is steady at 800 RPM. I keep checking the tach to make sure its still running. So far I notice it really pulls in the mid-range in particular. Third gear from 3500 rpm up it hauls.

Thanks Ralph for all your help.

What a club!! That's what it's all about. A few Corona's or margarita's are in store. Good people are the greatest asset in life.

Ralph and Scott are great guys and the fact they like Fiats is a plus for all of us.

Just wondering where did that 500 in the photo come from.

[Exit98]

It's either the official NJFIATS.org rescue vehicle or else it's Ralph's wife's new 500.

Sorry but there's nothing more that I can add to the above. They are our (NJFIATS.ORG) Gurus. All you other clubs keep your hands off! Just a couple of great guys. Their wives are also saints for tolerating the rest of us. Thanks Ralph and Scott

Dave,

The car is my wife's. She has a daily two hour commute and was tired of paying for gas. I found the car on craigslist, the owner was moving to France and needed to sell it. Its a 2013 POP with 5000 miles, I was really surprised my wife liked it.

PS its a stick!

Very nice! Good luck and lots of fun with the car.
We have about 25,000 on our PE and it's also my wife's daily driver. In the beginning she drove for gas mileage and the car was averaging about 35 MPH with only 30% highway driving. Now she drives it for fun and the mileage is like 32.
Our main concern with our's is the blind spots when backing up.
Now that she sat in the 500L at freakout she is talking about one of those.
