wuvvum Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 You jammy, jammy get. How is a neglected 21-year-old Fiat that clean? How? Just does not compute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George-Roper Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This car just gets better and better! Next time i'm having sex i'll be thinking of this Croma!

HillmanImp Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 "...and then it turned out, that the old Fiat wasn't painted silver; it in fact was made of solid silver. Hallmarked and everything. Which was nice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 One for the Bo11ox museum... When I was at Uni, a like-minded mate and I proposed just such a museum, "The Historic Everyday Traffic" museum, dedicated to the otherwise uncelebrated. The obvious Renault 20s, Tagoras, Mk 1 Orions and Chamades of this world, together with an Iveco Turbostar, Leyland Roadrunner, Bedford HA van....

RobT Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That is superb, you took a risk and it paid off, well done! Time for some useless information - the Dad of the first girl I ever fancied had a maroon top-spec Croma which, if I'm honest, is the main reason I fancied her However, I never got the chance to enjoy the delights of either of them...

nigel bickle Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Mr B -excellent. Turning into a true italian tat fest up there! I have a red one of these -similar age manual with tatty rear archs. Bought because I thought it woud be a hoon to drive- but it turned out suprisingly boring. Very competent - just no fun.Now barned.. I kinda look forward to your first impressions -once legal. Looks a goody though -nice buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew e Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Did you keep the RAT LOOK moss to go ebay at a later date? Was there some crazed tyre lever action going on too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Certainly was some tyre levers being swung about, I nicked a couple of tyres off the Argenta to get it mobile. They are ancient and hard as fook though so need replacing with new before it hits the road. The ARG is in for its first ever UK MOT this Saturday!

CIH Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The plan is obvious. Get Wat to take some swanky pictures at Tatton Park grounds or something and "Do a Doctor" and sell it on ebay for mega coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Its a solid and reliable plan, but lets not forget its a Fiat Croma automatic, transport doesnt get much less sought-after than that! I dont think i'll be retiring to the 'costa del bo11ox' off the proceeds of this anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
