I think this might be a good idea for the more rare cars to find parts. I think it would be great to have a nice warm corner of the forum to bitch about how hard it is to keep a 21 year old (or more ) fiat running!
Si

Any other opinions on this idea?

Sounds good ! Ive, as you know got baz the panda van, but ive also got 'the berry' 1970 purple 500 !

surely theres already car specific sub sections?

sounds good, classic,s then all the cars in sub sections. but leave classic panda where it is as it by far the most talked about oldie

What's a non classic called?

Current Models? But then that makes a mk1 punto a classic

Need to give FIAT Cars a new name, so people who are looking for older will know to scroll down further.

I guess maybe "Modern" ?

Production Models, Non-Production Models, and Classics?

:yeahthat:

Defining it could be interesting... :chin:

New = Stilo
Nearly New = Brava/o
Bangers = Tipo
Classic's = Strada

...and subject of much debate

i think a classics section is a good idea

most newcomers with a classic fiat post a thread in "lets talk fiat" because there is no other obvious place for thier query.

they usually get directed to another fiat forum better catering to the classics because we dont have a good body of knowledge of the classics.

i'm sure we could build a member base of classic owners, which is better than losing them every time.

you could argue that we dont need a classic section because we havent got enough members with classic fiats, but i would argue it is the other way round and we havent got the members because they dont have a section.

Isn't a 126 a spider?

Is it worth building a whole classics section with all the models seperately then?

OUCH!!! 2 Stilos & 44K in 24 months and I have a broken spring First broken spring in 20 years driving...

Ok trying to move on with this - if we rename "FIAT Cars" to "FIAT Cars (Modern)"

Then create a "FIAT Cars (Classics)" underneath, which has a "General" section for all round classics chat, then the models categorised seperately underneath?

So does an old Panda go in classics? And what about old Bravo etc ... how do we define that area? Pre 1980 = Classic?
