After the Cars and Coffee Saturday morning I took a little trip to Columbus OH for an open house event. I had wanted to go in previous years but either I had an event, or the weather was horrible. This time I only contended with occasional rain, so what the hell.
I like their idea of decorations. There was old Fiat and Lancia everywhere you looked. Inside, outside, around the side... I had met the owners at Mid Ohio when I volunteered for my first race and my partner said I had to meet them when I told him I had a Fiat. I then read about the Acura drivetrain swaps they do in X1/9's, and I'm still keeping that in the back of my mind. It made me wonder if my friend still had that all-black X1/9 for sale. Hmm.
I never thought I'd say, 2018, that I was stuck behind 3 Yugo's. The mossy patina'd one was also full of ants, at least one flat tire, but was running under it's own power quite nicely. Turned out a rallycross friend was buying it and planned a Lemons Rally and possibly rallycross (both of which were my first thoughts).
I was the only Abarth there. A few other newer 500's, SWMBO met me there in her 500X, and many old Fiat's and Lancia's. They posted a video, but I can't seem to embed it. Where are the cool kids hosting photos these days?
