This is cool man! Inspires me to go crazy with my fiat. Its a daily run around now and have to keep it low profile till i get another ride. Only problem with the fiat is that its a rust bucket and dad threatens to sell it after every monsoon. But it has weathered 6 monsoons since the threats started. lol. Maybe i need to make it look cooler for my ppl at home to love it. But no one sees this one when its parked nxt to the siena and i get cold looks when i say i forgot the siena keys at home.

Team Fiat · 12th May 2004, 21:07

Need 4 speed hey man dont let dad get rid of the old girl give it a few thousands and belive me you got a bomb people wont know it until u rip them up on the streets belive me we have done it keep the baby alive man

crazydiablo4484 · 14th May 2004, 18:58

Dippy · 14th May 2004, 19:03

Team Fiat · 14th May 2004, 21:12

Not right now Dippy Im am in Saudi right now Bud but will post them when Im in India (will do that Guys ) keep in touch and thanks guys for the compliments will be in touch

need4speed · 14th May 2004, 21:47

We have spent more thousands in doing up the car every three monsoons than we paid for the brand new car. lol. But its the only car i can take tension free on bombay roads. Few years back, i wanted to paint it in a metallic blue color with white racing lines, just like the scale model AC cobra that i have. But it got the thumbs down. But one day sooner or later, i shud be doing the cobra thing to the fiat.

Team Fiat · 14th May 2004, 22:34

need4speed Hey bud my car is just the opposite white with blue stripes
and my team mates car is blue with silver stripes hey u know what what will look cool red with silver racing stripes hey Bud why dont u join us could start a TF team in Mumbai that would be great man even if u get six guys is cool what do u think about it dude and we uys could help u out with the mods give it a thought and reply soon

need4speed · 14th May 2004, 23:42

Thx for the invite TF. I m not particulary into tuning of engines and all that techie stuff. I like my cars to be quiet and as close to original as possible. I would really fancy the cobra job that i mentioned earlier, need a good mechanic for that, not the cut throats i know of. The mechanic i go to now feels so happy when he sees me . You can actually make out the greedy devil sitting on his shoulder. He knows he is going to make a nice hole in my pocket. So what i m looking for now is a real good mechanic who understands fiats.
Did you know, the old italian fiats used to have their engine heads chromed, but they were later painted black to save on costs for the company. Thats what i want to do to the engine compartment. Chrome everything possible. I have a chrome plater right next door to me, but he doesnt touch anything that looks like a car part.
Fiats are really moving off bombay roads nowadays. Maintainence being a big problem. In my society of 76 flats, we r the only ones having a fiat. I dont see many chaps of our age group actually driving around in one. The only other guy i know who drives a fiat is all of 65 yrs old. lol. Cant think of anything at the moment. Will post something more sensible when i get a decent brainwave.
