Italian Club Pasta Run

poohbah · 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

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.
