Have to back in mk for 7

Thank you! :-)It's probably going to be the week after next or even the week before Christmas, not sure of the date/s yet. I'm out doing orchard stuff tomorrow, but @Six-cylinderis around in the afternoon, if you get bored!

Well its happened again, my fourth Fiat!

This dates back quite a few years when a friend bought a young yellow Seicento Sporting Michael Schumacher Edition and I loved it. Later I looked for one for myself but by then most were trashed or quite expensive.

I am a bit behind with the Fiat collection so when this one came up in spite not being not a Sporting I jumped at it.

A big thanks to @Zelandeth for helping me collect it today.

Hmm...that doesn't narrow it down much...

Can totally see you at the controls of an old Cat D8...

Was a late 50s D8H I had my introduction to driving things with tracks on...when I was about 12 I think.

I like early multiples.

I do have a soft spot for the early Multipla...

But not that one because even when the clutch is fixed there is all the damage from its former TV life.

That is an interesting thought! :-)

I would have to replace the footballers on the dashboard with a little scaled down model orchard... still with the Invacar of course, for realism...

I hope that’s not a thinly veiled threat to put Mr6c under the patio if he buys any more Fiats… 😳

I’m at a loose end tomorrow if you want anything doing or moving at the field. Family niece is in quarantine so I can’t visit and the weather looks ok.
