Is there going to be more to this story?
Did the battery perform? Did y'all bring any guns? We had a couple of MGs growing up.

I was like, "oh-kay, that's great Greg." Just back from Prudhoe Bay, IMO it was really worth the trip, AK is a beautiful place & you need lots of time to take it all in. I'm looking forward to returning & exploring some places i didn't have time to ride.RIP Ron Melton |

I used to have a pair of X1/9s, one running, one parts. Actually used the parts car for some stuff for my Lancia that was a basket case. I loved those little buggers.

Having just spent two weeks in places where everyone in a Fiat 500 thinks they are Michael Schumacher, this story makes me smile.

I've seen some of those rip albeit with a rx7 rotary transplant-they handle..(corner) fairly well, once de-bugged.
Giddy-up Bake!!

I love FIAT stories.
I learned to grind the gears from the passenger seat in a Blue colored one of these: It's hard to believe that I used to curl up on the parcel shelf!

Had one.
Neat little car Could only run one electrical accessory at a time since the electrics were powered by what appeared to be one of those bicycle generators that rubs up against your tire. If it was raining at night, you were in deep doodoo. If you needed the fan and the turn signals, you were in deep doodoo. Etc.
