So I picked my car up today, got my belts all changed by Johnny Cargo at jrc auto, qhen I picked it up today I saw a lovely red Le. Just wondering is the owner on here. Also a few weeks ago he had a nice sprint blue with beige interior also looked nice.

Got my oil leak fixed also, it was the oil pump gasket cost a bit to get all that done but after a great drive home was a happy man

ah yes oil leaks. got 6 drops every day after driving here. settles down when she's not moving for a day or 3 and then nothing drops anymore. old cars i guess. getting my sorted next year. spend a bit to much money on it this year already

Hi Jk77,

The Red LE belongs to Jamesy. He's on the forum every so often.


He also has a steel grey LE.


He's a decent bloke. If you're up North, you should meet up with the Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club (NIIMC). They meet the first Tuesday of every month at 8pm at Lisburn Golf Club. They are a sound bunch and they have weekend car runs etc and of course the "All Italian Car Day" every summer in Lisburn.

Their website is www.niimc.com

Yes that's the one Daithi. Very nice car in the flesh. That sounds like fun, do you attend yourself? I would love to see some more coupes and speak to a few owners.

Also Johnny Cargo certainly seems to know his stuff so thanks for the recommendation.

Now just to get my car in the condition I would love it to be in.

Hi Jk77,

I used to attend regularly, but I sold my Black LE a while back.

That's me at the All Italian Day in 2013 (Black LE) with CollieD (Sprint Blue).

The NIIMC has a good range of AutoItalia. Apart from Jamesy I think there are 2 other Coupé owners, a sprint blue 20vt and a steel grey 20vt. There are a number of previous coupé owners there too.

Johnny Cargo is definitely the man to see for your Italian car needs. He's was a master mechanic for Mervyn Stewart, before he set up his own business.
