Hello

Postby Stuart maranellohouse » Mon Mar 24, 2008 10:38 pm

Just thought I'd make myself known as I've just agreed to buy a GTA and lift it tomorrow week.
It will be my second one as I used to own a silver 87 own a few years ago.
There's a few little things that need sorted on the car but I'm sure with the help of you all here I'll be able to sort most of them out.
I look forward to making some new friends along the way.

Hi Andy. Thanks about the site. If I bring anymore home I'll have a divorce on my hands. I've been a follower of the cars from Maranello all my days so that was the main reason I used the name.

Like the Fiat 850 (903cc?)Sport (In my freinds Cars/Bike collection), Think i must have been sixteen when my dad had one, I can remember driving it up and down his drive :roll:and it was the same colour, It was fairly fast back then as well :? 95mph+ :shock:

It's currently for sale. My mate owns it. Must admit myself it's the cleanest original one I've ever came across.

Hi Stuart,

Glad you made it over here....I emailed you a couple of days ago. Was your old GTA an ATMO or Turbo?

Cheers,

Martin

P.S Richard (simonsays74) has the garage full of GTA's in your neck of the woods, I'm sure he will be able to help you if needs be :wink:

Youve just given me thought. I'm hoping to arrange the All Ireland Italian motor day again this year at Cultra museum and we were planning on invites to other clubs. Might be an excuse to get everyone here in the one place on the day.

Hi welcome back to French Plastic ownership.

I love the 127 sport, I used to have one in 1996, but like all italian cars it was rotten!!! I love to find a nice 131 sport. As you can see from my collection below I do like a 80's hothatch, plenty of french cars in my collection even though I am Italian.

P.S. How much do you want for your Ferrari?

Let me know when and I'm fairly sure I could make it over, as long as I'm not at the racing in Bishopscourt. Next meeting is on next Sat & Sun at the airfield circuit if you fancy coming down on either day. Sat is trackday and racing series, and Sun is the drifting competition and drag event (run-wot-u-brung).
