Title: Italian Club Pasta Run
Post by: poohbah on October 23, 2016, 05:51:10 PM
Local Italian Club had its annual Pasta Run today - combined event for Fiat/Lancia, Alfa, and Ferrari car clubs.

Probably 30-odd cars did the run through the Perth Hills, lots of twisty bits, brilliant fun, before heading to the Italian Club for lunch.

The GTV was superb, and I had a real laugh hanging off the back of a fizzy little Fiat 125 sedan - reckon i haven't seen one on the road for over ten years.

I was flying solo, so couldn't get any shots on the road, but did snap a couple of pics at each end.

Good to hear, sounds like a great day!

Nothing wrong with the Fiat 125, by the look of the white one, it's the 125 S. That was my first car, 1600 twin cam, 5spd 4 wheel discs and 100hp unmodified.

Funny when I had my Alfa serviced recently, the loan car was a Fiat 500 Linea Rosso...when I opened the bonnet it had stamped 100hp...not much has changed since 1969 :D

PS Gianni Angelli kept one in his personal collection ;)

The owner of the 125 bought it from his godmother who was the original owner. It is in top nick, and well worth hanging on to. I really love those boxy lines.

I should add the owner of the 125 has made one modification to the car - the horn plays the theme from The Godfather!

Very sweet, I bet you wish it was still yours. I do have a thing for all the boxy 4 pot Italians - whether Fiat or Alfa.

After reading your post, I went and checked out Agnelli's garage. What a collection! I would love to get my hands on his supercharged 131 Supermirafiori.

I am hopeful that one day a Supermirafiori or Superbrava will find its way onto my driveway beside the Alfas.
