My Fiat affliction was quite minor - a 124 sedan (1800 motor) rally car and a 131 Superbrava.
My dirt bike riding buddy George who later married my sister was way worse. For him it was a 125, a 124 sedan rally car (1438 then 1600 then 1800 motors), a 131, a 128 coupe that became a lap dash monstrosity via turbocharging, a Diahatsu 4wd fitted with a 1600 TC Fiat motor, and a Bambino motorkhana special (supercharged Fiat 127 motor). He still has the Bambino and the Fiatsu.
My sister still has her one and only Fiat - a 1977 128 3P.

I thought I was a car tragic with my French cars in my youth but you take the cake with your Fiats - Fine In Any Tip .
I had Peugeot 403,403 wagon,403b,404
Renault Dauphine
Citroen ID19,2CV
This was back in the 60s when young blokes bought Holdens and Fords or Minis.
Cheers

and as someone pointed out in another thread (that was my doing), great to see the Trials Australia tradition alive of getting threads completely off topic!

Geeez that Gasser looks great, Gazza.
The Honda had some downtime due to blown up motor - so I did some colouring in.
The blue looked good at first, but faded rapidly. Plus, in the 400 field, the bikes were generally red, yellow or blue. I thought white might look the goods.

Wazza,
Hadn't crashed it once when it was Red.
Two rounds of NSW c/ships, the Aussie c/ships at Bendigo plus an Open Trial at Appin as well as several practice rides at Dad's.
Since it's been Blue I crashed it 3 times on it's first ride out and another time since.
Gotta love that colour though.

Gary, Love the blue. Looks sensational
What forks and triple clamps are you running? They don't look like the stock items!

GGman,
Stock forks & clamps.
But the later 2008 models came out with Paoli forks.
Good spotting as the 1st batch had marzocci's on them.

Zokes on 08 GGs is all I've ever seen.
Can you notice any difference from your bike and your Old Fellas 07 model??
