another old guy picking up a new toy

[ronz124]

yep...after wishing I had one, I will be picking up my 1980 pinin farinia around 3rd week of April, can hardly wait. Will have to jump thru some hoops to export/import to Canada tho, oh well will be worth it

ronz124, I can feel your excitement! Now you'll be hooked too.

Where do you hail from? There's a bunch of us out west and another bunch in the east (of Canada, that is). And then of course that forum crowd down in the U.S. Where is the Spider coming from? Any photos yet?

hi there
I live in the Okanagan just south of Penticton,BC getting the car in central WA and am told will be 2nd/3rd owner, so we'll see

Great! Narfire (Chris) is in Naramata and a huge Spider nut. Maybe you know him? He has bought one of his Spiders out of the U.S.

I'm in Victoria. A bunch of us plan to get together the May long weekend for a drive up-island and over to Whistler (I think). Chris will coordinate it, I believe.

Keep us informed of your purchase.

Great - Another old guy with an '80! And from BC as well. Hopefully will see you on the Island in May. Definitely get in touch with Chris - he's a great resource and practically a neighbour.

Oh boy, another Ron. Now when some members (who's names I won't mention) give "Ron" a bad time, I can just assume it's you and not me!
Welcome to the forum and plan on posting pics of your new toy when it gets home.
BRW, what town is the car in? I'm from up Washington way and worked a lot in the central part of the state.

Bruce... I think that we are all old guys with toys that we still think are babe magnets. Well! at least I do.....
