My first car was a '93 Tipo, I've had punto and after many many other cars I'm back in a Fiat!! This time it's a black '02 3dr Stilo 1.2 Active with claw 17's a abarth skirts. This complements the Aprilia RSV Mille in the garage very nicely.
The whole family was born and bred in Fiats. I can only shudder thinking about how many of my cousins were conceived in them!! Among all the others, there's a 127 Sport, Tipo Sedicivalvole, X19 and a few clusters of Puntos and Bravos and a bunch of Alfas and Lancias here and there
I quite like the Stilo. Mine's a bit of a Frankenstein. My cousin got it cheap with the LHS smashed in and generally looking like a well used motor. Not long after, a timing belt pulley went for a poop and the car was about to be scrapped but a cheap engine presented itself and it was saved. Since I got it I've fixed up all the bodged bits, found the missing bits of trim, had the LHS painted up, refurb'd the wheels and generally done everything I can to make it a snazzy runabout that shouldn't be taken too seriously and 16000 miles later, I still look over my shoulder at it after it's parked up.
That's my schtory anyways
