Are we all crazy?

Post by SPIDERDEBI »

Hi, This is Deb and Mike from FL. My first car was a white 1970 124 spider in 1975. It died in 1980. I always wanted another one, so 5 years ago I saw one on EBAY. Not being a saavy ebay user, I out bid myself. Had a horrible ebay experience. CA seller said it ran, had a blaupunkt stereo etc. NOT. Then supposed to ship to Ft Myers Fl. Got stuck in Ft. Worth Texas. I had to find it myself and have it shipped the rest of the way. Then the Ex got a hold of it and stored it and one morning I was reading the paper and he was trying to sell my baby, but he couldnt cuz he didnt have the title. But neither did I. It took me 3 years to get the title from CA. Then when I finally got it back it sat the next two years while life took over. Then our hero came along. When I was moving, Mike had it towed to his house and completely took it apart. She is gorgeous now and I feel like I have a piece of me back! He thought it was a girly car at first, but after the 3 to 4 months he has spent on it, we are now looking for another one for him (so I can have mine back) The cute part is he is 6'8" tall and looks awesome in it. Can you believe he wants this instead of a Harley??? We took it out yesterday for a ride to Daytona and met Dave from Daytona Spider. What a find he is! Wish I had met him 5 years ago, but then I wouldn't have this story. SO GLAD TO BE A PART OF THE FIAT FAMILY AGAIN. WERE HOOKED AND CRAZY.
Oh yeah, what about all those electrical wires? LOL.

Mark is right. It never happened without pictures to prove it. Reader demanded, author supplied. :lol:
