Hi All......another newbie here....I just got a bug up my a-- to get the old Fiat going again. She's been sitting for a while in an auto-cocoon in my garage and was recently found to be a terrific birthing place for a litter of RATS!!! Eek!

Anyway, I hope to get some good information here and enjoy taking up a fun hobby that I have been away from for a while!

Nice to meet all you fellow spider lovers......trust me this is the only kind of spider that I love!

Born and raised

My girlfriend is from upstate New York though! Snowbirds I tell ya...

I can't remember if I know of any other Fiats in that area. Check out fiatflorida.com. Evan Stateman(spelling) started a club down south and they do events every now and then. I got to hang out and do a drive in Gainesville before i left for USNA, it was a lot of fun...a lot of nice cars. Send him an email I am sure he can tell ya.

Lockport, NY apparently its somewhere near Buffalo? Her family moved down to Jacksonville permenently some years ago...one of those good old Italian families with the scary construction worker father...

Her parents have that wierd upstate New York accent, but hers is now a mix between that and a southern twist. (Sexy)

I also grew up near Buffalo, in the Town of Tonawanda. In the early '70's Lockport had an unbelievable cross-country team. They always took first at the meets. ps. I can just imagine that accent, lucky you!
