Introduction

Greetings from the Heartland, Iowa that is.

How did you find out about us? (Web search, from a friend, ...)

websearch

What Fiat / Lancia do you own?

1974 & 1975 Spider. The 74 is punken orange and I owned it since 1986. It was diagnosed with terminal Cancer in Feb 2009. I haven't driven it since. I left it in the "barn" and replaced it with the 1975 AKA CB1 Cherry Bomb 1.

When did you get your first Fiat or Lancia?

As a kid the neighbor had an alfa that i was in love with. Then in 1986, fresh grad of H.S. and working at a honda car dealer, one was traded in. I had to have that pumkin orange car. I begged Mom to "loan" me the money. Come think of it, Loaned?

What is your favorite driving story, or memory?

Oh there is so many.. Many of trips to see the leaves of fall along the Mississippi. Actually just about any beautiful summer day

Mike, thanks for the introductory note and the correct phonetic Abarth pronunciation. I point out how this should sound too. Hope to run into you at an upcoming event. Steve Fuoco

Thanks Michael, this is the coolest car, I'm not just saying that, it is fun to drive, in normal mode and unbelievable in the sport mode, never took a car or bike into the red line, and what is amazing that this car can take it. It has been almost two and a half months, and I have no regrets, it kinda cool having something that only so few are around, I mean any one can own a mini, don't get me wrong, they are cool, but so many, this is a new breed so to speak, all I can say when I get in sweet.

Hi Mike. I'm willing to go to the skating event to be part of the cheering section, but I don't want to be the only person observing. If you can get other people to be in the cheering section I'll gladly go to this event. Just let me know!
