Introduction

Thought it was about time I put some photos on here , I have owned the car for 11 years now , it was my brothers previous to me who purchased it in 2000 . it had 17s on it but I had some original wheels refurbed , trying to get it back to standard .

some goodies to put on returning it to standard ride height .
We had a small meet with the midlands italia car group today at the derwent car works museum, well worth a visit, they have classic cars you can drive round the grounds.it was good to be parked up with other fiats & alfas ???

Ive been neglecting the punto lately and not used it for ages, went to start it up yesterday and found I’ve had an intruder in the garage ?,…….luckily it’s only a mouse living in the engine bay , never had this before, it’s left me a nice pile of crap and pools of pee around the strut tops ? but doesn’t look like it’s chewed anything, it fired up ok so hopefully everything is ok , I’ll get it out and have a proper check round it . I put some poison down and found a dead one this morning ??
 
Had this issue on several ocasions, theory is that's little rodents are looking for a place too hide during the winter...hopefuly it didnt chew through some wiring or something similar.

I’ve had the punto out today and had a thorough check round the engine bay and underneath and can’t see anything that’s been chewed at ?, had a good run out and had no problems ??, I’ve left the poison down incase there’s any more about.
 
Had the gt out for the first time this year as the sun was out 😎 , it was good to be out again , I went to my local Tesco petrol station to fuel up to find all the 99 pumps locked off no fuel only e10 🙄, had a short run round and found another station with super 👍🏻hopefully this isn’t going to be an ongoing issue

I've not had much issue finding premium but omg its getting very very dear, i paid 175.9/litre last night 😭 I won't be able to afford the fuel to drive soon
 
Yeah I’m glad I only do limited miles in the punto, my other car is a petrol Seat 2.0 200 bhp is going to go soon as it’s a bit thirsty & road tax has hit £315 🙄
 
As the mitcar event was cancelled I found there was a local show organised by the club Alfa uk at Renishaw hall , some nice cars attended 👍🏻
