That’s the one, I’ve just turned over 2000 miles in mine too. It’s gone back in storage now as the roads are too bad with potholes and I don’t like what it’s doing to the car. Bloody love that car.
I find it genuinely endearing that you look after your baby fiat so much. And talk s
t about your astons and Mclarens, it’s quite refreshing. AlmostUseful said:

Maybe people without it shouldn’t be able to review cars So I promised I’d post what I’ve been up to and what I’ve been buying lately.
Here’s the first little snippet of what’s been going on.
I’m doing this off a phone so if anyone can enlarge it and repost it so the people without Owl vision can read it then I’d be extremely grateful. Cheers

So the new £145k race engine....
Is the original engine (with presumably matching numbers) shagged, or are you upgrading and you will crate up and keep the original engine?
No the original one is perfect, I’m just putting in a faster bigger engine in it so it’ll perform better on track. Everything that gets taken off the car will be placed in a flight case and put into storage.

Thanks everyone
As an update I’ve also spoke to James today and he’s going to be sourcing a 250 GTO gearbox and clutch plus the actual open gate shifter, plus 250 GTO blue comp seats. I’ve also asked to repaint the car in triple layer yellow to match my Speciale Aperta and Pista Spider, plus it’ll have the tricoloure stripe. The interior will be changed to black leather too as yellow paint with crema leather would just look wrong.

just shows buying these things is only half the cost!
12 hours to replace disks and pads - that's a reassuring lot of time and care being taken.
