Hello from Canberra

[nico]

Hello all,

Really looking forward to getting to know you all better, seems like there is a great amount of knowledge on this site.
About me?.. I have owned 2 guiletta 116 and currently own a 75TS witch I'm slowing making my own so to speak. I have been going to Auto Italia since 2007 and have had a car in almost every year.
For work I'm a graphic designer/art director with a publishing company here in the ACT and i also write for a cycling magazine, testing bike and the odd race report. 

I have attached some pics of my cars, motorbike and some from work.

And some of my perks from work.

Hi Nico, welcome to the forum.

Neat 75.  I will keep an eye out for it at Auto Italia.

Cheers

Nico, Love the giulietta. They are a rare beast now with not too many going around here in melbourne and i guess even less in canberra.

It looks like it is sitting nicely on the aftermarket wheels and lowered suspension. What size are the rims and how much lower did the car sit?

@ John - Thanks, will have to keep an eye out for you at the show!

@ ANG156 - I did also love the giulietta. I think even more because of the work put into it from the $500 no rego lump of tree trimmings i bought it for. I have recently sold it after a solid 6 years, and as far as i know its undergoing full resoto in a garage somewhere in the ACT ( it was discussed that it would come back to me before the next sale ). They are indeed getting rear, however i did spot on in syd that looked A1 original.. you should have seen my jaw hit the steering wheel followed by me almost ripping my head off as it drove past! campi wheels and all. really made my day.
I had mine set up with 195/50/15 wheels, king springs at the back and koni on all four. the back was down about 30mm and the front about 40mm.. and more, it was a really fun thing to drive.
