Merry Chrimbo!

Ho Ho Ho!

 

Only 2 days of work left and then most of you (I say you, as we don't celebrate Xmas out here in Taiwan ... boo!) get a nice long week break to spend with friends, family and loved ones :)

 

Make sure your beloved FIAT isn't forgotton in the excitement though - I'm sure it will want to join in the celebrations too! Why not take some classic Xmas photos with it and get them uploaded for us all to see :)

 

Also - as per last week's newsletter - the date for next year's ForzaLIVE! has been changed - we did update the Facebook and forum pages, but just incase you missed it - the new date is Sunday June 10th

 

So I guess all that's left to say is have a great Xmas and enjoy that massive turkey I am sure you'll all be tucking into (I'm so jealous!)
