Well, our multi is all dressed up and ready to go on it's big adventure to the USA!







Not really wanting to put this in the Multipla section as it's a bit quite an not really about the whole 'Adventure' thing that we get up to with the cars so LL is a much better place for a wider audience to follow me across the States with our 10 year old 100k Ugly Bug.

Anyway, it's going to be one of the first Multiplas to cross the Atlantic this weekend and arrive in New York in 10 days.

More updates soon!

Jim

In this case can we give you a challenge Jim ?

Instead of pictures of the journey how about pictures of the faces over there when they see it

Here's wishing a millpond crossing for the ugly bug

big in fiat terms, but comaperd to yank tanks, its still a little fiat to them

Well, I wasn't going to get a new website just for the Ugly Bug.... And as the man says it's little compared to a GM Suburban!

Anyway, we got our last fuel before New York





God, up early for the boat now....

If Jim's going there you should no trouble finding him - I can see the Fiat fans across the pond will be gathered round gawking at the beast

Aye, that would be amazing as we're all going to be there. Weird meeting the Owner of the UK Fiat forum at an American car show in Pennsylvania when showing a Birmingham registered Multipla, lol

That and I want to pick you brains on how we could get the panda into Japan in 2012 when we do the round the world....

Fred

Ps, Dave... Jim's just busy and I'm keeping an eye on things

I was in two minds about it, as I have no idea about how it works at all ... I did send an email, but (maybe I read it wrong) they didn't seem too enthusiastic about me coming.

Would you have room in the car for me to travel around with you guys to the daily events, a hirecar looks ridiculously expensive and any idea where would be a good place to stay?

I'll go check flights out ...
