Hello all,

 

After doing some Auto ID suggestions to Otherunicorn, he invited me to take care of this week's edition.

So here it is.... and like every week, it's about Make, model and year. PM me please!

Thanks to Otherunicorn (Ken) for this chance and for all the weeks he's done this game so far.

I hope this week is as much fun for you as it is to me every week.

SEAT 850 2-dr. sedan, around late '60s-early '70s. Spanish version of the Italian Fiat 850. I worked with a company that raced Abarth-modified Fiats, and ended up getting pretty heavily involved with the cars. Owned Fiat 500, 600, 850 coupe, several 128s and 124s, and a couple of X1-9s as well. I really like everything Fiat. Great little cars if they're well maintained, but they got a bad rap over here because you did HAVE to maintain them, unlike the majority of under-stressed American lumps of the time.

A kinda less well-known spinoff of the Fiat 850 was the Siata Spring. Last one I worked on was back in 2005. Typical Fiat 850 problem...trash in the tiny little carb jets.

Oh geez. I'm a moron. I posted here instead of sending the PM.

I'm a moron. I'm a moron. I'm a moron. I'm a moron.

I'm sorry. I really am. I'm a moron.

I apologize for making such a stupid mistake. Just not thinking. No excuses.

Can't seem to pm Ace with my answer. Ace  your profile says you can't receive messages. What gives?

Sorry...box got filled up with answers. :D
