I love how the car we drove during our youth reflected that period of our life. We are retired now and own a Subaru Outback...believe it our not we talked about getting a van (soccer moms watch out) so we could haul more stuff back and forth from our home to our "camp cabin" in the southwest USA.<br /><br />I loved this post. Congratulations on your new car! Don't you just love they way they smell and how good you look behind the wheel?<br /><br />b<br /><br />http://www.retireinstyleblog.comb+ (Retire In Style Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-87655696032183364302011-09-22T18:10:39.967+10:002011-09-22T18:10:39.967+10:00So glad that Mr G looked after you (as if he would...So glad that Mr G looked after you (as if he wouldn't!) and you are in love with your new little bambino.

I have bambino images, books and models in my home and office. For all its aura it is not quite the same as my original bambino, purchased new in 1970 for $1260 - the only car I ever regret selling (when 1st child was imminent!). Mine was deep blue too! And my first car (1963) was a mini - green too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-21500668843159056852011-09-22T13:18:59.266+10:002011-09-22T13:18:59.266+10:00Yes, Helen, that is my car in the picture.

Not as dark as it looks in the picture.<br />Just back from taking it for a spin - it's automatic with a manual feature so that you can change gears up or down - no clutch.<br />Think I'm going to really love this car.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-11762162104307451072011-09-22T12:25:21.595+10:002011-09-22T12:25:21.595+10:00I have had 3 Fiat cars in my driving life, and wha...I have had 3 Fiat cars in my driving life, and what fun they all were. I really miss them, as when the need arose to drive an 80km round trip to work, a small automatic became a priority! Oh for the days of my sporty Fiat again! I wish I had pictures of my 3 old lovlies.luckyllamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332811544831993907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-61476229843106631152011-09-22T12:10:21.722+10:002011-09-22T12:10:21.722+10:00Yes the excitement of waiting for the new car to a...Yes the excitement of waiting for the new car to arrive is special. Looks like a nice vehicle for getting into tight spots. Is the picture your actual car so it is that dark blue?<br /><br />Loved the picture of your Dad and the older vehicle.Helen V Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418865928294578567noreply@blogger.com
