| Hi fellas. Stateside Fiat has been offering this "1957 Edition". The wheels looked like steel with hub caps but are in fact cast aluminum with polished centers. Kind of neat. Bluesun9, your hand warmer comment cracked me up. The "Car Talk" guys Frick and Frack (on NPR out this way) used to say that all Fiats came with an owners manual plus a bus and train schedule, LOL. The Abarth is a hoot for sure! And now they're offering them with the Aisin 6 spd auto, should find some new customers with that. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Wanted to show Kathi that retro “1957” Fiat 500. BTW, more here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Very cool machine. We are more likely to get — if at all, of course — this one … [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]… but like ‘em all. Then saw again the mention of a spring ride and, in particular, this: - Guzziboy66 wrote:

In case you are not aware, there is an event called "The Gathering of the Norton's" over at Washington's Crossing Park early in April. We usually ride our Guzzis over as a group and sometimes there have been more Guzzi's than Norton's Here's the Flyer:2015 Flyer
If you join us, then there'll be at least two GRiSO's there. That's enough for a cabal right?
Eric Saw that time first time through, but failed to put on calendar. Interesting to a history geek to see an event at Washington’s Crossing occurring on the anniversary of the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World." Anyway, Kathi and I have to be in Baltimore for a family event that Saturday, and — a great advantage of retirement — may make a three-day getaway of it. If weather is grand, we might both be on the Norge. If so-so, I’ll ride GRiSO and Kathi will be (continuing the car subtext of the thread) in our Mini. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]If really sucky, well, we’ll likely just head back home in one cage or another, but we’ll hope that the gods of meteorologists are smiling that weekend.
