And yet it still takes Jake ten minutes to get my wheels off! Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

In 2013 they didn't refuel or clean the windscreen and the driver didn't get offered a drink 1996 Portofino 20vt & 2000 Pearl White Plus 1985½ & 2016 2017 Fiat 124 Spider + XF Sportbrake
