Why number 132?

Born on the 13th Feb? Maybe

That would be an incentive to buy a car with that number? Never entered my mind...

I was just jokingly having a stab in the dark about it.

You might still be right!

Why number 132?

My lucky number.  Started in 1985 when I bought my first FIAT 132 and could give my mates in their 2.8 Capri's a run for their money  :evil:  (mine had a Volumex conversion and a whopping 140bhp). Met my wife of now 27 years that year.  It's that year I first noticed the no.132 and its turned up in my life every day since, usually several times a day.

My parents went ex-directory in 1986.  Their new phone number ended in 132.

My employee reference number with my current employer ends in 132.

My Dad, long since retired and now in care due to vascular dementia used to be a long distance lorry driver for Sony.  I came across a picture of him in front of his lorry with his mate, Eddie.  As a bit of fun, and to help him with his memory, I had it blown up and printed on a tee shirt for him.  Only noticed when it was blown up, the reg. on his lorry was Y132 ***.

It's just canny how and when it turns up and I've grown attached to it  :smiley:

Not that exciting really.  I tried to get the Fabia vRS SE. no.132, but it seems that one was written off some years ago  :sad:

I'm always looking for a private plate with 132 in it, that suits me too.

Mirafiori sport?

Nearly - the Mirafiori was based on the 131.  For a three box car, the 132 was a tad more rounded with twin round headlights:

Not the above, but my first one was identical.  I then had a bronze one, a silver one and a blue one.  The last one tried to kill me three times!

Well I've had a busy week

The sale of 207 fell through. Shook hands at an agreed price and paid a deposit with an agreed part ex value.

Email the next day saying they have reduced my part ex by £1000 and that I misheard them he previous day etc. Called myself and my old man a liar basically and the price we agreed on wasn't set in stone etc so I shouldn't have assumed it was etc... never heard anything like it in my life.


Done me a favour anyway as last night #237 came up For sale. Emailed them
Late last night, got a call this morning and did the deal
Over the phone. Simple.

Tornado red, 11 delivery miles, regestered feb 17 and dry stored since.

Works out only slightly more than the 4200 mile car I nearly bought requiring a wheel refurb and stone chips etc to sort. Well chuffed.

Got a bloody long trip to go pick it up but it's worth it I think.

Can't be many delivery mileage CS S left out there.

Hopefully this one works out!

After doing the deal on the red one get a call from original dealer sayin they can go £500 more (still £500 less than we agreed originally though). Thanks but no thanks sell it to someone else.

How much did you pay for the CSS out of curiosity?

Happy days, and they certainly will be after you've picked it up.
