2005 05 plate Punto mk2b Active sport (in rare doo wop turquoise). Lovely looking car with the right mods. Its my new baby.

My parents have had a few Fiats in the past.

1988 F reg Uno Turbo i.e in red (cant really remember much about this car as i was young)
1989 G reg Tipo 1.4 DGT (my personal favourite of the lot) Metallic blue with digital dash was cool when i was 11 yr old

My little list of motors since my driving test:
fiat 128 3p 1978 THN639s Silver- went like the wind, but rusted as quick
fiat 128 3p 1978 THN595s blue- not as quick, but was a nice car
fiat 127 1050 -bought to put engine in and sell on for some strange reason
fiat 128 3P -red PWH527S- rstored this one, sold it 3 years ago to chap in Ireland
Fiat uno 1.3 turbo ie F366 167bhp missile, owned back in 1994
Fiat uno 1.4 turbo white G plate mk2, much preferred mk1 to this standard one
Fiat uno 1.4 turbo K Red, had this 5 years, seen it on ebay several times kevved to the hilt, shame as it was a nice car.
Fiat uno 1.3 turbo 1988 F white, mint and subtly modified 160bhp, back to my youth- (my current toy!)
Fiat uno 1500cc circuit racer another current toy with over 170bhp

If you look at all the above, with the exception of the 127, they all have one thing in common!!???? Yep, the single overhead cam engine! What a fantastic and often under-rated engine!! What other 1.5 sohc 20 year old engine can give you over 170bhp!! I'm 36 now, and bet I'll still have the old sohc engine in some sort of fiat when I'm 86!!!

I used to have a 2 litre supermirafiori in metalic silver, with rostyle wheels.

nice comfy car with close gearbox and loads of torque.

timing belt went and it forced the dizzy drive thorugh the side of the block, i replaced the engine with one from a 132, but it was never the same.

shims to adjust the valve clearnaces ! what joy.

ah happy days.

127 Sport in orange. Great car.

Tipo 1.4ie. mmmmm

Tempra. no too bad

 

[kalyanaraman.r]

I still own a Fiat 124... Thats Called Fiat 118 NE (NE - Nissan Engine).. I love this car... It has a wonderful smooth gear shift, not to mention its suspension - the best in Indian Roads... She is very solid and sturdy .. the confidence I get on Indian roads is tremensous...

Attached is the pic of Fiat 118 NE.. This is not my car.. I will post my car's pic by Start of December when I visit India and take her snaps..

Sorry Forgot to attach the image in my previous reply

 

[french bean]

Started off with Alfas in my youth but then due to insurance and running costs now on Fiats.

So far:

Alfa Giullietta X 2
Alfa 75
Lancia Delta 1.5

Fiat Tipo TD
Fiat Marea 75 TD SX Weekend
Fiat Marea 1.8 ELX Weekend
Fiat Stilo MW

Plus a few VW's that were overpriced, underspec'd and unreliable in comparison to the Fiats

 

[130JTD]

Been through a few, first job was at a fiat dealers so got the bug from 16! here they are in order of ownership:

1986 Panda 1000S red (bought off my grandad!)
1987 Uno 70 SX 5 door dark met grey (loved it, nimble, got nicked)
1987 Uno Turbo ie white (crashed it, doh)
1989 Tipo 1.4 DGT dark met grey (gotta love the dash! p/x'ed at 208k miles)
1997 Fiat Marea 115 ELX 4 door that odd silver/beige colour (thirsty)
2000 Seicento Sporting red (definately not thirsty)
1992 Tempra 2.0SXie SW met red (treated it like a skip, un-killable!)
2000 Fiat Marea 130JTD HLX 4 door met orange (disappointing)
1989 Panda Sergio Tachinni dark met grey (impulse buy, now for sale)
1989 Uno 70 SX 5 door met blue (re-living my yoof!):slayer:

Of the lot, it the uno 70SX's i rate the highest, followed by the Tempra! the Marea diesel was the worst of the bunch, the most unreliable thing i've owned.
