New Member - Anyone in North Carolina?

Post by pleiades »

Greetings all -

I'm in the Charlotte, NC area and have recently purchased my 2nd Fiat Spider. It's a 1981 Red/Tan. I purchased my first one when I was 15 - sold it about 10 years ago, and have been wanting another on and off ever since. Finally decided to part with my Miata and get another Fiat. Here's a little peep at her: Image

Welcome aboard Steven.
The teaser picture sure looks pretty. It looks close the to the same color as a neighbor of yours in NC, mdrburchette, who's car, by the way, was voted the best Fiat in North America last year. So that'll give you an idea of what people think of it.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your car.

Excellent! I doubt mine is ready for best car in N/A at this time. It's nice, but not quite on that level. I'll get some other photos in the near future.

It's actually a photo I took for another forum I'm on. (Photo forum) - was letting them guess what the car was.

Doubt I'll be at FFO, but probably the next one.

Nice headlight, Steven! Now you've got us all wondering what the rest of the car looks like. There seem to be several Fiat owners in the Charlotte area. I'm in the Winston-Salem area. We have several events planned if you'd like to join us. Just PM me your email address and I'll give you some information. Most are drives and rallies in the Blue Ridge mountain area but I've been known to crash other clubs' parties too. :D
