Stay Safe Everyone

We'll get through it, together.

This might come as a surprise - a FIAT Forum Newsletter - I bet you thought these had been discontinued ;) I figured now with everyone being stuck at home, it might be nice to send a forum update with all the latest threads to help get over the cabin fever.

And for those of you lucky enough to keep your beloved FIAT on a driveway, now seems like a perfect time to get it washed, sparkly and new photos uploaded to your members motors thread - giving everyone else even more new content to check out :)

Of course the new movement restrictions suck, but they are unfortunately necessary - but remember there's no need to be lonely, your FIAT Forum family are waiting for you :)

Now is time for the Leisure Lounge to make its comeback!
