My Pride and Joy

[HicksvilleSpider]

Hello everyone,

I am the proud owner of a 1980 Fiat Spider 2000. I had never even seen one of these beautiful cars until about a week before I purchased my own. I was driving down the road and saw one at someone's house. At that moment, I became extremely intrigued by the car, and I knew that I wanted to own one myself. I did a lot of research, and I finally came across this car which I am proud to own now. I have owned this car for about a year at this point.

I've already used this forum for help with troubleshooting various issues. I am extremely happy to finally be a member of this great forum.

Happy Driving,
HicksvilleSpider

Welcome!
Always glad to see another 1980 owner join the group.
Is she carb'd or fuel injected?
By what I can see in your avatar, I'd say she's a beauty.

She is carb'd. And thank you so much! I got pretty lucky to find her in such good shape, and I've been trying my best to clean her up.

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.
