I went to the Heritage Centre at Gaydon about five years ago, the Fiat Owners Club had a meeting there. There was a decent turnout with some interesting old Fiats turned up, though only one or two Pandas.

As a dyed-in-the-wool Lancastrian (with Yorkshire blood running through my veins...), I know the difference between the Midlands and the Far North....

Good plan batman!
I certainly do
its a great place full of Leyland goodness as well as a few fords and the odd bus! And as museums go its a great one! The last triumph spitfire and stag are there the first ever mini and Morris minor rest there too! Not to mention all the prototypes they have there....... The heritage (motor) centre is soooo good that the nice folk down at Prodrive decided that they wanted a slice of the "heritage" cake too and so opened there very own museum and called it....... The heritage centre!....... And that's full of racing cars and rally slagged subarus. ......... Not that I got to see any of that of course as I was subject to one of life's most unfortunate tastes of bad luck and ended up at the wrong one :bang: so alas I missed out but I belive the rest of the gang had a jolly good time though
theres a small chance on me attending right now, as punto isnt looking good im afraid guys, until ive got a compression test on it, i wont know whats happened, but i do know if hg is blown it'll be broken for parts, then a few months new car but not a fiat but i do hope ill still be welcomed to meets even with a non fiat car

Why non fiat?
Dom
just feel the need to move off Fiat's and move onto something different, whatever the choice is will be my choice, but even then dont get me wrong i do like fiat's and ill never put a downer on them even with a different car, hence why i said id still wanna come to the meets cause you guys are awesome and would hate to not be able to see all of your cars and effort you've put into them
heck even with new ill still poke my head on here nosing at your motor threadsjust feel the need to move off Fiat's and move onto something different, whatever the choice is will be my choice, but even then dont get me wrong i do like fiat's and ill never put a downer on them even with a different car, hence why i said id still wanna come to the meets cause you guys are awesome and would hate to not be able to see all of your cars and effort you've put into them

ahh shut up, a car is a car dom, we all know you love your fiat , but i do love mine but if hg has blown im not willing to sweat out £300-500 on replacing it!
hey, at one stage in my life i use to hate fiats but did it stop me from buying one? nope i brought one but its unfortunate its done this so soon! no need to slap me for changing to different manufacture
