My phone seems to be back with us.....YAY.





This post is a test .
Second pic is a return to a place where I took a pic of my first Italian road trip,2006 in a RS1600i.

... does that fiat come with quad exhaust pipes as standard.

[Iva Barchetta]

No,it's a special system designed by the Barchetta specialist where I bought it.
Sounds good too.
I've started my road trip thread.
It's not going well.

My Barchetta count in Europe was reasonable,4.

First in Germany,outside a Fiat dealer,of all places.

Second,a mauve one,a rare colour,pulled onto autobahn way ahead of me,I tryed to catch up but he exited at the next junction.

This was also in Germany ,way down south.

Third was a silver car,in Italy ,saw it twice whilst watching the Mille Miglia pass 2.5 kms from Poggibonsi.

Fourth car was black,Dutch registered ,seen in the same location as the silver car.....

I got pics of 3 of them.

Hang on a minute. Iva is on his hols in Italy. My daughter is on her way to Italy as we speak. Should I be concerned?

Hold on. So is mine.

I met up with both Miss Impasse and Miss Zagato.

Nothing bad happened....

I see we have to have some new badges made up:

"I've been to the Alfa Museum" and

"I have a wasp nest in my trousers"

They're a bit long. Will you be able to sew them on?

DickyC said:

Mind you, if you do manage to sew them on you'll automatically qualify for the sewing badge.

It's all good.

If there are sewing bees are there sewing wasps?

[Iva Barchetta]

I broke the fly on a pair of trousers whilst away.

Does that help ?

They're in the bin now.

To drink cider (currently imbibing) before moving on to wine with diner, or skip wine, stick with cider before the vodka later?

[Iva Barchetta]

I've done nothing today,apart from unpack the car and look for that thing,which I didn't find.

But I did do quite a lot yesterday.

I might go to the shop later,need food.

I brought home some pasta sauce,nothing special about it but it's different sauce from what's available here.

[coopedup]

Get a takeaway to post in the food forum, or get creative with the pasta sauce

[Iva Barchetta]

I'm going to use one of the jars of sauce ,not very creatively and pasta was all I ate in Italy for 7 days.

I saw a Barchetta today. It was red, mostly. I think every panel had different shade from bright pillar box to sun-faded pink.

Ah the joys of having a red car. I had a Clio many years ago in red, well I say red, it was all shades of the spectrum having been in the sun for about 5 minutes.

Good going on the Barchetta spots.

I managed to read the book I took away with me from start to finish,which is always the best method.

"Touch Wood" ,autobiography of Duncan Hamilton,1953 Le Mans winner.

Excellent read ,as recommended by "Fail here" I believe,also quite sad as he mentions so many drivers killed

on the tracks,many of them friends of his.

And then at the end he's absolutely devastated at the death of his great friend Mike Hawthorn.

Amazing he survived so many plane and car crashes as detailed in the book.

[Iva Barchetta]

Is there a thread about a Polo GTI that got a lot of attention ?

I seem to have missed out on some humour whilst away.

linky please,I tried search.
