    Nothing really. I've just had a fun car every summer for the past few years for pulling apart or just for the safe of it. A fiat cinq sporting might be nice.

    I currently have no money so not overly worried about actually doing this


    Funny you mention this, We've had one abandoned out the back of work(beside a passat:P) since last November. It needed some work which the owner didn't want to spend the money on and we haven't hear anything from them since:rolleyes:

    I paid it no attention, as, in general, one wouldn't perk my interest in the slightest...but I had to move it the other day and now I think it may be worth saving......its a 98....with 23000 miles, its original Pirelli P7's still like new, interior like new, service book/owners manual etc all still in the glove box:eek: The exterior is almost pink its so faded but there is not a single dent or scratch worth mentioning on it!

    So, worth saving as a future classic??

    If I can get a hold of the logbook I think this one will be coming home with me to get tucked away in a corner of the garage:D

    As for details...urm,not really, the owners details where in last years diary....which is gone:rolleyes: I'm working on it ATM though.



    I'll expect to find DGT lurking around the garage once he reads this:eek::P

    We had this car for a weekend test drive way back in '04 before Dad bought his one. Fairly overpriced but a very rare car over here anyway.

    The seats in my van are from a 156 I remember sitting in when I was 9. It was a demo car in Tractamotors in 1999, I'm sure some other posters here might remember it too. I remember the car well, 99D7xxx, pearly coloured, dealer plate surround with stickers and it was a V6. Very unusual to say the least especially in those times. I remember marvelling at the chrome pipes going from the plenum into the cylinders, how fresh the engine looked in a sparkling engine bay, all caps a different colour, each depicting a different purpose. Twas "the top of the range one" according to a chap that used to work there.

    I was shocked and very sad to see it in the scrap yard in 2010, engine dirty, interior grubby and smashed, dented, chipped, skirts hanging off, bumper in bits, generally worn out. I got the momos and when I came back the next week to take more off the car, I was told it had been crushed.

    It was as if a piece of my childhood was being taken and broken apart infront of me :(

    No reason that they couldn't do much more then that.

    I wouldn't be worried about the rad and HG, they are easy fixes.

    His car was very original though. Servicing was something prostitutes did according to him

    For cars that are supposedly so unreliable, I knew someone who had a fiat Bravo when they were new, they had it 7 years without any issue, despite the fact that the only time it went near a garage was to have petrol put in it!:eek:

    No way, he must have been serving it on the sly if it was the 1.4 12v! I had one and loved it, but that would bite you in the ass if it wasn't keep in squeaky clean oil!

    Johnos, only skimmed that ad for the uno, can't believe I read fiat uno turbo instead of fiat uno diesel?

    It was the 12v....and no, she most certainly wasn't having it serviced. Every time I said it to here she said 'why would I bring it to a garage when there is nothing wrong with it?':rolleyes:
