Fiero Hitch

   So....finally we got some sun today. Yippy time to test my new Fiero hitch, built by Pat Patterson, using Capt Fiero's hitch as a template.
I picked up a really nice 2-bike receiver via craigslist. Originally a Subaru accessory item. All went well, needs a little tweaking as the hitch needs a couple of spacer on the back bolts to give it a level plane. Also I need to hacksaw off an inch or so, as the receiver sticks out to far an feels a little loose in the hitch. 

As I cycled along the dyke I saw this!!! I love the reflection of the VW bus in the river. The whole area looked like it had been hit by a high spring tide. I guess it's possible seeing as it's first day of Spring and the scene looked fresh - FieroZen

	Hey Nigel, wouldn't that A-frame structure be about perfect to suspend the rear of a Fiero during a cradle drop? Hmmmm....
