stillOrange's crap Harley and shit Fiat

[Junkman]

I wouldn't worry. There is no weight on the front wheels anyway.

[stillOrange]

It must be the new brakes that didn't bed in yet. Just a pity that it isn't clean sheet

[Junkman]

Yeah, but brakes. At least it isn't anything important.

So I, sO, need your help people!

Does anyone here have any friends, family or other contacts in Argentina?

The only thing I'm missing is that bloody Fiat 133 emblem.

No but the barman at my local pub is Argentinian. Nice chap. Scruffy Bodger is in there every day. You could ask him to help.

Hello, I had a brain wave. If you use a vpn connect to an Argentinian server, then Google thinks you're in that country and will show you results from there. They speak Spanish so badge is placa. A quick search and...

It's £10.83 but not sure regarding postage.

Oh shit it turns out to be a site for cars too. Fancy a 133L?

One hell of a collection thread.

The L stands for Lujo, the deluxe version.

I already explored VPN and I would still need Argentinian mobile phone number that they send verification code to. Postage is another issue but biggest is online payment. Billing address can only be local and my bank will never authorise that kind of transaction...

I don't ever recall seeing a 133 in the wild.

I read the road test in my Motor Road Test annual of 1975 and my one memory is them complaining about the excessive rust proofing! It's one of those cars that I struggle to see the point of why Fiat imported it in the first place, or even feel the need for a rear engined 127? As someone who had a thing for the 126 as a little boy I'm glad at least one survives and I'd dearly love to know the first owners' reasons for buying.

Considering how popular these still are at the Folkraces in Sweden, I find it hard to believe no badge can be obtained from those circles.
