1979 2000 Spider in Utah

Post by dal1808 »

Hi Everyone!

Bought my '79 Spider in the fall last year. Looks like it came to Utah from California and brought with it all sorts of fancy pipes and tubes in the engine. No doubt one day I'll understand what they're all for :) In my younger days in the UK, I had several FIATs, including an X/19 but I've been on a diet of reliable and boring for a while, so it was time make life more exciting (and unreliable) and get a 124 Spider! Couldn't be happier :D

Managed a few runs in it last year before the weather here got too bad but now that Spring has come round it's time to fix all of those niggly little problems that came with the car - and suspiciously failed to materialize during the test drives when I bought it! So, naturally, the first step is to officially sign up here :D

dal1808, welcome

I'm new here too, just got a 78 a couple weeks ago & been reading the posts on this site for the past few months.
If there is anything that you need help with this is the place to look or ask advice.

I'm STILL reading all the previous posts with a kind of addiction I can't explain, JUST GOTTA KNOW!

Lets see some pics, everyone loves pics!

dal1808: WELCOME!

There's a couple of us Utahn's on here. And we get together occassionally. Nothing really formal..... but it'd be great to see another car on the road around here! Most have succumbed to the salt on the roads long ago. :roll:

When you get a second, check out ROOK's (username here) Utah Spider site.

I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!

Thanks guys :)

I'll look out some pics and try my hand at uploading them to the forum (first time for me) and I'll check out that Utah Group, maytag and look forward to getting together sometime, if the snow ever stops :D .

Welcome dal1808. Check out the site and join the group. Very informal as Dan said. Hopefully the weather will turn soon, so we can get some top down driving in.

Ciao
