Hey guys - been off the forum for a little while. Life just caught up with me, and frankly I had a little bit of fiat repair fatigue. I'm gonna try to start getting back here more often again.

So catch me up - what's been happenin' in Fiatland lately?

Welcome back Steve.We were afraid you were swallowed up by one of the earthquakes.

You've been on our minds Steve. Good to hear from you.

Hey Steve! Glad to see you back. It's actually been pretty quiet here without your posts, but here's a run down:

There's been a lively discussion about union vs non union workers and the Big 3 fiasco.
Ron Luxmore is still misleading every newbie into thinking the 82s are the best model Fiats to own.
Craig installed his control arm bushings in backwards and couldn't figure out why his car couldn't be aligned within specs.
Alvon Elrod jumped on a plane to Germany to try to help Tappy diagnose his blown head gasket. He did make a slight detour to run the Moonshine Rally in my X19 and managed to break the hood release cable.

Have I missed anything fellas?

Other than Ron Luxmore is still being picked on, I think you pretty much covered it Denise.

wow, Denise, the only story you left out was the latest developments on "All My Children"

Ron I could have predicted. Craig comes as a surprise. And what can you say about Alvon? NASA should take a Spider up to the International Space Station - then they could get Alvon to come up and work on it!

Thanks for the update Denise. I'm trying to avoid having anything really interesting to post about. Hopefully just boring old bumper posts and stuff like that.

I DID NOT install my bushings backwards....it was the washer that was installed backwards gheez,tough crowd !And Ron happens to be right about the 82's

If Ron's authority on 82's gives us any indication of the rest of his knowledge I would believe anything he says!

Ron please submit your economic plan to Washington and a restructuring plan to the failing auto makers.

Hey, that's a cool idea. I'm all for that! They better have plenty of spare parts or a good machine shop up there, though, cuz I tend to break things! Fiat Spider space ship. Now that sounds reliable, don't it??!!

Brings a memory of Space Balls. Alvon, be carefull with that tail! Next big episode for us semi-easterners is the first anual Fiat Dixie -fest in one month. Yes, we get to meet alot of new folks and tell tales about Ron! We could tell true tales and laugh, but ...

[mdrburchette]

Hey, maybe we can make it a contest to see who has the best Ron Tale! Not a bad idea, Dave.

[rlux4]

I gotta figure out a way to get out there. I know then who would have the best Ron tales!
Ron

[racydave]

We could get one of thoes hanging donkey pinyahta thingies, and put Ron's face on it... This all sounds diversionary enough for Craig to snatch that darn teddy!

[mdrburchette]

ha-HA! Surely this is not the sole reason for the Ron-Tale contest.....to help Craig get his grimey mitts on my Teddy! That is really rotten Dave.
