Noob from Oregon: Looking for the old Fiat guys

[amerturk]

First post on the this forum. This is Tim from Portland. Long time Spider owner and Spiderless for the last 10 years. I started the Oregon Fiat Club back in 95?, sent out a few letters and had a lot of members from Oregon and Washington. In 97 we joined forces with Eli from the bay area and Mirafiori dot com. Tom B. organized this even and I was drving the 80 FI Silver spider with the blue interior. This is from the summer of 97.. http://www.mirafiori.com/oregon97/

Anyways, I'm back in the Fiat game looking for a local Spider and just missed a nice one last week. I've contacted Mike R and am curious if guys like Tom B and Mark S are still around.

Great website btw! Nice place!

Hi Tim, welcome aboard.
I have driven up from southern California to the last two Mirafiori camp out weekends at Howard Prairie Lake. Any chance you've been there and we met?
So you've been Spiderless for ten years, huh? Did withdrawl finally get the best of you? (As you can see in my signature line, it took me a little longer to get back into a Spider.)
Keep us posted on your search.

Hi Tim, drove through Portland a few years back when picking up my spider in Eugene. Got temorarily bewildered after taking an off ramp the freeway lane I was in... well I had a nice tour anyway of the downtown..clean city!!.
Welcome back. Our moderator Mark Allison I believe had a well sorted FI for sale. Take the train to disneyland and come back in a spider,can't think of a better road trip
Good luck in your search

I'm confused - are you looking for old Fiats or old guys?? Regardless, I think you'll find both here. Welcome to the forum. Nice to have another Pacific Northwester on board.

Thanks for the kind words to those that responded. And to answer the above...I'm looking for both the old guys and a Fiat. Looking for an FI 80 and above.
