Re: What brought you.....

Another Norweigian Robot will be so pleased

A very warm welcome to the site

By your I'D sounds like you picked the best colour

Any questions don't hesitate to ask, I know there are a couple already but put these on specific threads and do search for info as what you want to know may already be on board.

I'm sure you will enjoy your time here and if not let us know why.....

All in all, a fun car, and I love it! Just have to show it some more, I guess.

Cheers!
Oil up the locks, put silicone on all the rubber around the doors, put strips (that's what we call it in Norway, atleast ) around the doorhandles. And always leave your barchetta parked in gear. I used mine all winter, and it worked perfectly. Admit I loooooved it when some friends had to pour boiled water around the doors to be able to get into their Land Rover Discovery - after all the comments about how useless bee is during the winter.

Re: What brought you.....

Thanks everyone for sharing your views, it appears that almost everyone has found this site via Google and no-one from the ad's placed on ebay so will kerb them for now as they appear pointless

Yes, I met Lima (Mark) when I parked next to his B in Woking. We had a good chat about cars and he gave me the flyer and highly recommended the forum. I am delighterd to have met Lima as not only is he a really nice bloke but he also told me about the Goodwood meeting on 6 July which was great fun. Also most pleased to be on this forum even though I spend too much time here when I should be working! Hope Lima enjoys the whisky.
Rich

Re: What brought you.....

I cheated... I used the Jedi Mind Trick on Richpea that fateful day. He joined the FIAT FORUM but also unwittingly joined several other sites, including The Crossstitch Society.co.uk, Save The Tapeworm.com and Christopher Biggins For Prime Minister.org
