Hi Beheram you were missed at yesterdays meet but we see that you spent your time fruitfully

As far as the meter console goes, I used the standard duco paint procedure, primed the surface well and then spray painted it. Dont remember the exact tone but it was mixed by my friend Mr Ali Huesseni, a old hand at elegants.

Thanks Beheram,

Would i need to sign up to anything else to be a part of the Fiat Mumbai group.

Thanks

No. Consider yourself a part of the club already!

@motionfreak: There is a rubber based solution glue that is usually used which provides both damping and stability to the mirror. I think the Fiat workshop should have this.

is it the same which is used in making fish tanks ( smaller ones in home)

Came across thsi very intresting link from the movie " Dont steal anything small" has the actor looking at several cars. One of them a Fiat 103E standing proudly amongst the 190sl's and the Alfa's

IMCDb.org: 1956 Fiat 1100 [103E] in "Never Steal Anything Small, 1959"

IMCDb.org: 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in "Never Steal Anything Small, 1959"

Hi all met up with a friend yesterday. One of the few people (apart from the FCCCI community) in my circle who still have a Fiat with them. Its a 1987 Premier padmini std. The usage of the car is very less. The condition is something I was truly surprised at. Yes the car is placed in a stilt garage and minus of any scratches. Now inspite of using the car less, why is he kept it ? Because he doesnt wanna lose his stilt parking space.

I saw under the bonnet and saw a part ive never seen before in any padmini before. A pipe that starts next to the switch box and above the steering column attaching in the lower part of the engine. Gurus- Behram/Roni/Gogi Please examine and educate.

Dear Kavesh - that's the pipe for the oil pressure guage. It is an aftermarket fitment.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Do you guys have any picture of the meet, the ones that turned up & didnt.

Kavesh did you not ask the chp if he wanted to sell his Fiat.

Cheers

All Fiatians please please block this date- November 1. Please inform your non TBHP Fiatwalla contacts well in advance. This has to be one blockbuster event.

Cyrus43 · 18th September 2009, 23:21

Yes. And we might even get covered.....

arun1100 · 18th September 2009, 23:31

Wow good going. Even we at Bangalore are planning to have the Grand Rally sometime in Oct or Nov, may be Nov 1st itself.!! On Aug 30th we just had a meet. Meanwhile we are planning to Register our Club (to avoid cops problems) and Have a own Website. We are also planning to have a very limited genuine Fiat loving members in the Club.

Isn't it a wonderful idea to have all India Rally of Fiats in their own cities on the same day. At least Hyderabad can join the league. Hyderabad guys, form a Fiat Club soon!!
