Our family bought a FIAT 128 back in '77. Neat little car... when it ran... Otherwise it was a Fix It Again Tony. Can still remember the Big Weekend At Dads we missed out on when the Find It Another Transmission crapped out about a mile from the one place that fixed foreign cars back in the '80s. It finally either got wrecked by a snowplow or - more likely - wrapped around a tree by one of mum's loser boyfriends a couple years later. Which was a shame as it was a nice car... People would knock on our door to tell us we'd left the engine running - it would run the fan to cool down the engine after any sort of driving.
