I owned 5 Fiats : 4 - Spider 2000's (124s) and 1 - 128 wagon, I wish I
still had the wagon. All were totaled in accidents and 4 when they were
stationary, stop sign, red light(2) and parked in front of house. The
one when I was moving was a high speed accident which left me
stationary for 7 months. I do feel that had I been in, one of many
other cars, I would have lost my life. I like my MGs much more than the
spiders, even though they do not have the same power(dual overhead cam
aluminum engine) and a 5th gear. When I get my 75 B back next month,
with the overdrive in it, I'll probably not think about missing 5th
anymore. Safety Fast, David Deutsch
