New members Mr. Viveck Goenka - a die hard FIATian, (with his first car from school days, a FIAT - Select in his life - MSW 8313) , Mr. Hemant Kanodia (Scooby on TBHP with his recently acquired outstanding Delight MHI 4484), Mr. Anosh Dhondy and his proud father (owner of the Elegant BML 8684, clocked 9L kms and the amazing work done for engine performance), were inducted into our enthusiastic hobby and passion FCCCI - Mumbai club, a club that is showing results of each and every members talent and passion for FIATS by the day, which is evident year after year from the pics posted on this wonderful thread.
The 5 F's of FCCCI - Mumbai motto also well complied for sure.

At this point we owe a big 'THANK YOU' to Team-BHP for giving us this platform for interaction with our community and binding us into a family.
Also, thanking all the passionate members for the lovely pics posted from their cams. I am now posting a set of pics (may be in 2 parts) from my cam which I hope will not be repetitive.

Many thanks to you Rony for organizing what was in many ways a flawless event. Amazing machines, great Camaraderie, well planned route for the rally, super choice of the restaurant for brunch, some lovely photography all along and best of them all varied colors of metals. My only suggestions if I may would be to prepone the timing of the rally from next year and do it around Jan end to early Feb time frames as it does get very hot this time around. I absolutely understand that the weather gods are not in your control but i was told the temp was 38 Degrees or there about. All in all i personally had a great time and enjoyed the annual rally thoroughly. Thanks for making it happen. .

Spotted this fiat at a shooting around the lokhandwala area . It was someone big as there were enough security guards to see that nothing happens to the car.





Cheers

A truly epic Mega Rally! Felt really great to see the pictures of these amazing cars! Thanks to all for sharing the pictures! FCCCI - Mumbai meets, the cars and the 5 Fs motto have set an unsurpassable benchmark. No wonder I feel proud every time I put on the FCCCI - Mumbai cap! Thanks Rony Vesuna (President)!

Regards and Keep Revving,

Rahul Waghmare.

Had seen this car years back in a sorry state. Glad to see it has been restored. Perhaps we will shortly see it in some ad or movie. Isn't it amazing how all ads and movies these days feature a dukkar Fiat or two, even if in a modern/present day setting.

One particular PADMINI features again and again in different scenes of SPECIAL 26 movie too. Seems they used same car for all different settings including a red MARUTI 1000 with black bumpers and a matador van.

Dr Kannan, Welcome to TBHP and further welcome to FCCCI. Kindly post photos of your car for better suggestions on your Fiat's restorations.

Raab rakha.

Hi Rakha, thanks for your response. i Have already started a new thread titled "Restoration of MDN 6494 - In Remembrance of my Father". Please check it out i have posted few pictures of the car, but i dont know why i dont get to see anyone responding to it. Does it take some more time to become public?

[anoshdhondy]

Any idea whose Fiat this is because they have copied the colour scheme of my Fiat (at least from the rear,they may have gone the common route and carried over the roof grey onto the A pillar ). Anyways had seen this in the background in an ad and nearly fell out of my chair thinking that someone had shot the ad with my Fiat in the background.
Hope she is kept well for years to come.

Is it only me? I can't find this thread. Perhaps a mod puts a link?

Thought so, but had figures that you might be switching over the plates before such one off days and then going back to the normal ones. But this is a bit more risky.

Thanks for clarifying.

It would have been amusing to seen people going to RTO with such applications and then on being refused giving the RTO guys printouts of the pages from this thread.

Surprisingly seen two like this in Amby city, Kolkata long back.

At our building parking lot. Mumbai FIAT lovers may know about this one. Seeing this for last few days. Haven't seen the owner. Looks clean.
