Hello,
My name is Alain and I live in Strasbourg Alsace France, close to the german border that I cross sometimes for a trip with the X (autobahn!!!)
I was reading Xweb for a long time, it is a very informative place with kind people so I decided to register and say hello.
As a teenager I was a big fan of car design, that was in the 70', 80's, the era of Bertone, Pininfarina, Guigiaro, the Countach, the Berlinetta Boxer, the Stratos, etc...
To me, the X1/9 became the symbol of this era, also being affordable, efficient and funny to drive I was hooked. This is why I have own a X1/9 since 1988 and maybe forever.
I currently drive my 4th X, a 1979 1500 in stock form, it has the bumper removed and Cromodora CD30's along with few other parts that came from my previous X. It is clear of rust. This was the personnal car of a friend who has a body repair shop and has who took great care of it.
When the time will come, I will give it to him for a fresh and complete paintjob.
Last year I discovered autocross with the X in a category where the cars must be street legal with no modifications allowed. I had quite good results, doing even better in stock form than a few non street legal race cars...
Sorry if english may sound weird, this is not my native language.
Long live to the X1/9!
Alain
