I've owned a 126BIS (watercooled instead of the aircooled engine):

And here together with my brothers Yugo 45 (or Koral, Fiat 127 from Yugoslavia):

Fiat was a great car to drive.. Easy 120 km/h, doing 20 km's on a litre.. unforunatly the headgasket blew. Repaired it, but then sold it. But is was a fun car, especially on a wet roundabout. Oversteer, opposite lock, but because of the direct steering you need to turn the otherway immediatly to not make a donut..

I could spend a LOT of time and money buying up cars like that in Eastern Europe, I really, really want a rear engined Skoda, although it's been downgraded on the list of 'stupid things I need to do' for a while!

This was my 126..

and the closest thing I've got to a proper Skoda...

I remember driving a 126 Polsky Fiat in hungeria, many years ago. The thing I remember most is the steeringwheel. I can discribe it best by saying it was an instrument that was used for giving suggestions about the vague direction you wanted the car to go.

What you need is parents with a field. Actually I'd better shut up, it's a slightly sore subject. :roll:
