Greetings from Michigan

[woody99]

Hi,

I just arrived.

I'm original from Germany and since a little bit more than a year in Michigan. I had a BS1 Spider in Germany.
I bought my new Spider here in the US last Spring. She came with 17" wheels, a roll bar and new sport seats.

I took her out of storage two weeks ago and removed the roll bar.

Cheers,
Steve

Welcome to the site! I used to date a girl from Germany for several years and did my fair share of touring between Cologne and Munich. All i can say is that those Germans keep their "oldtimers" to perfection, hence the really high prices they sell for in them neck of the woods. The reason i have my Spider is due to that girl who had a passion for these beautiful cars from back home and specifically looked for one here in Canada after she moved here.
To make a long story short, the girl is gone but the Spider is still here with me today.

Welcome Steve!

If you are in the Detroit area, you can send me a private message and I'll send you the info on the local FlUID (Fiat club).

Also, I might be interested in your roll bar if you are getting rid of it.

BTW, if You purchased your car from Chris....you have a very nice ride with those wheels!!

This short instruction covers how to resize pictures so that they don’t get cut off at the right side:

Pictures can be easily and quickly resized using Windows.
You do not need to open the image file, therefore no image viewing software is needed.

1. First find where the image is stored on your computer.
2. Click on the image file to high light it.
3. Right click, then select "EDIT"
4. Click "RESIZE" in the upper left corner of the screen
5. Click on "PIXELS"
6. Make sure that "MAINTAIN ASPECT RATIO" is checked.
7. Retype "725" in "Horizontal" field.
8. Click "OK"
9. Save image, if desired. I put them in parallel folders with “resized” somewhere in the description..

It will now be resized and will show fully and properly on the forum, using standard Windows software.

And here is a link to a map of Spider owner’s locations. Many forum members have listed their locations.

Thank you for the warmly welcome.

@ AriK: I hope you have more luck with your Spider than with that girl

@Kevin: Yes, I bought the car from Chris. I'll send you a PM regarding the Spider Club and the roll bar.
