I finally bought my first Fiat Spider (80 FI) after more than two years of searching. I've always wanted a spider ever since I was a kid. And now the dream is a reality.
Mark at Allison's Automotive (our fearless FS.com leader) helped me find a rare gem. Who knew I had a resident expert in my own backyard. Excited to get up some pics once we put the wheels on it. I've really enjoyed all the help and feedback over the last two years from this forum, and I look forward to posting many more topics in the future.

Re: New Owner from Southern California
Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. You must have forgotten, I'm sure Mark must have told you that we'd insist on seeing pictures of your new car.
We'll no doubt get to meet on the next get together of the So Cal gang for a drive and socializing. The best part of owning these cars!
