New member from California. Grew up in Santa Barbara. First generation Italian born in the US and grew up around Fiats. My dad and Nono both owned Fiats and Alfas. My dads cars are what got me hooked. He had an X19 and a spider over the years. Have great memories of those cars...
Spent the last year and a half looking at cars and also played with the idea of buying a 2017-2020 Spider. But ultimately, the look of the classic is my favorite and I'm a tinkerer by nature. So the older spider won out and I've bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on a gorgeous example I got enamored with from the first pics I saw of it. Its a 79 and has 39k original miles and had only one owner over the last 46 years. I now wait impatiently for its arrival via transport...
Really glad I found this place and hope to learn and eventually contribute.
Here are some pics of my new baby...
