Sorry I didn't make it down. I was struck down with man-flu (so the missus tells me - apparently girl-flu is significantly worse).

Maybe join you on the 13 Dec, but it will be in the Fi(at)esta, unfortunatley.

Hi fellow B fans
ACE Cafe was cool... bordering on freezing! Nice to meet you guys, and looking forward to another meet. Formation drive home put a smile on my face too.
Once I've got this work deadline out of the way I'll sort out my avatar, profile etc etc and be a bit more vocal on the forum. TTFN... looking forward to the chit chat.

BTW... I need to chat to Doogal about front headlamp gaskets/ seal. Can you help?

Ah yes - forgot about that!! Apparently FIAT also made some other cars aside from the b!!

None that I would buy !!! OK a Fiat 500 would be cool.

Haven't lived till you've owned a Panda and then the 500 is made on the Panda chassis Although I suppose we have to live with the fact the Barchetta is based on the Punto chassis

yeah they made puntos, then made a B out of all the left over bits

LOL The Barchetta design almost did not happen as the cost of panel design and prodution was 3 times more then the Punto panel work.

I am sure everyone who has run a cable through the bulkhead and into the boot will testify to this LOL.

Hi, Mark. Welcome.

Not sure which bits you are after on the front lamps, but most of the front of my car is gone. Front lamps went ages ago.

If there's anything else you need, PM me and I'll se if I've got it.
Cheers
Doogal

Thank you for the warm welcome fellow barchetta & FIAT fans. I'll get around to pics and avatars etc as soon as I get this deadline out of the way, and then I'll be more e-vocal too. Nice to see such an active forum. Doogal: I was after the gaskets which the headlight clusters sit on as I had my car resprayed and I think they were replaced with off-the-shelf rubber as they now sit 1mm proud of the body FIAT will sell me the gaskets but only with new lights... yeah, right! The search continues. Marky

where was you lot tonight then

Sorry Dave, I have my leave pass revoked at the last minute, Mark had a Christmas bash, Rouge was 'up North' picking up a Fezza 360 and I think KC3 is flooded with work.................

See ya in Jan though!

Hi Guys, I was there last night, albeit in my alfa 156. I'm looking to buy a punto for my missus in the next year so thought I better join up and get posting!
