Meanwhile in Atlanta

[katoranger]

Division office was closed for three days of the week while I was there.

[FastDoc]

What is that and where can I get one, sans plow...

:-)

[Daeouse]

Hysterical!

[SpudRider]

:lmao:

[FastDoc]

Looking at the long range forecast for next week, the Northwest is in for a major, major cold snap. I only hope it remains dry.

[katoranger]

I am not sure what it is, but looks like something from my garage. Looking like weather coming for Kansas this week.

[Daeouse]

I keep hoping for snow in Tampa Bay, Florida, but never get it. . . I'd pay good money to see the people's reaction to it on the roads. I know how to drive in it, do they? ;)

[Weldangrind]

It looks like a severely shortened Lada.

[Trailbikeryder]

It's a Fiat 126. The picture looks like its fake though, because there is no door and the window is too small to crawl in. It does have the engine in the rear though.

[FastDoc]

Very cool. Fiats are among my favorite cars. I've had a 131 an 850 and a 128. Any of them are more pure FUN than even my Corvette.

[Krasi_BG]

Yep, it's 126, and apparently they continued making them until year 2000:

Doc, I guess you have a much better chance of getting a Fiat in US now since they bought Chrysler. I'm sure soon you'll see some Alfas and Fiats (which usually are the same underneath anyway) rebranded as Chrysler models.

They're already here, in disguise. The new Dodge Dart is a rebadged Alfa Giulietta. My big hope is that the Wrangler will get a diesel.

The Fiats are selling well in Canada. I'm hoping the diesel appears in the Dodge Caravan, so my company will continue leasing them. They're looking at the awful Nissan NV200 econobox to lower our carbon footprint.

[katoranger]

I am waiting for the Ford transit. Sometime this summer.

[Weldangrind]

We've had them in Canada for a few years. I really don't want one for work, since we have nothing but hills and mountains in our area. A four cylinder van just doesn't cut it.

[katoranger]

Not that one. This one. Should be available with a turbo diesel.

Much better. More Sprinter-like.
