I haven't put the phone in it recently, but it is still on the windshield as of this morning. Seems to be stuck on pretty well.
What did you do to your X1/9 today ?

Found my slave cylinder was leaking last week. Ordered a replacement from MWB. Bench primed it as best I could. Installed and bled it. Re adjusted the clutch...Good to go! Beautiful day today, sunny and in the low 60's. Headed down the Jersey shore to visit my sister. I'm not a fan of droning down the highway for miles on end, (Especially when I have so many excellent roads near where I live) but I was so pleased with the way my car just purred down the Garden State Parkway. 70 to 80 MPH (3800 to 4200 rpms) for an hour each way, without skipping a beat. Car felt like it could it all day long! P.S. I'm knocking on my wooden desk, as I write this!

The X is a surprisingly good highway car. Stable going down the road, the engine is like a sewing machine smoothly spinning behind you. The tension of the gas pedal spring is just right to keep your foot and leg from numbing. I suppose cruise would be nice…
Are you going to Midwest’s open house this year?

As of right now... the plan is to drive to and attend MWB's Open House.

I received my replacement sun visors from Darren at Vinyl Specialties and installed them. They differ from the originals in that they do not have a mirror and they are sewn on the bottom and sides to seal them.
But, they are not puffy and worn like the old ones so I'm happy.

I took the tarps off! It’s been sitting on the side of house for a year after dragging it out of a field and handing over $50. The plan is to take a look at the 1300, but I do have a K20 hiding under the workbench (leftover from the previous aborted attempt). Can’t wait to get into it!

In the begining
So how old do you you have to be to be "Old"Glad you brought this up, I don't recall ever reading how this could be adjusted and the effect on its function. Was there a particular thread with this info?
Great information to keep in mind when my current builds finally go back together. Of course that is assuming two things: that they ever get back together, and that I remember - you're not the only old man here.

I showed my wife that picture and told her next time we take the X for a ride we should dress correctly
On another note. I don’t spend much time on eBay anymore but the other night I got on there to see what X1/9 stuff I could find. I searched “X1/9” what popped up was shocking. Make sure you search “Fiat X1/9” eBay has really gone down hill. Sad

Preparing for spring 
Received my award for "Best In show" for the 2023 St Louis European Auto Show. The show was last summer and I just got this in the mail today. Better late than never.
There wasn't even "fiat" area. I was the only Fiat registered, so we were parked in "Other" with a Volvo P1800. Also orange.
Pretty amazing when you consider the competition:

So not just best in the "other" category, but best overall in the whole show? Excellent! Almost seems like the award should be a little more sizeable for a BIS winner, not to mention it should have been given to you onsite rather than 9 months later. But still a very honorable prize.Received my award for "Best In show" for the 2023 St Louis European Auto Show. The show was last summer and I just got this in the mail today. Better late than never.

I've tried the "-fits" thing with eBay searches but it did not work for me. Should it be in parentheses like you wrote it? That might be what I did wrong.
