I still have mine, and it's my daily in the summer. Although it (and I) spends most of its time in Saskatchewan lately, I do think I may drive it to BC this summer.

Welcome to the West Coast Fieros of BC forum, Ian. Glen still has his cars, but he doesn't seem to be driving them much. Joe has his fleet too. David, hopefully will have his conversion done soon. Maureen still drives hers every now and then. Harrison still has his. Not sure who else is running their Fieros. Hopefully, they will chime in. I have also noticed a few Fieros on the road that are not members of the club, or on this forum. Quite a few on this forum have moved over the the Westcoast Fieros of BC group on Facebook. |

Hagerty wants to feature my sort of Fiero at the 2019 Auto Show in March. I'm almost finished completing my Enterra car number 36 which I bought in Kelowna last year. It was never finished. Are there any others left locally?

I'm not able to upload pictures of the magazine to this website and I don't think I should be uploading them to Flickr because that might be a copyright infringement. So maybe in the future after the magazine comes out. |

I received a few advance copies of the magazine. The magazine goes on sale in stores next month.
Well written article and some great pictures. I will post some pictures soon. Of course, Hargerty Magazine would love it if you all bought a copy of the magazine.  |

Only showing a few of the pictures I took as I suspect the ones in the magazine will be copyrighted.

Re: need to drive.
Just so we're clear, it's not a comparo - no winner is crowned. More a celebration of what all three cars represent. But I do need to drive to be able to accurately describe what it's like to the readership. FWIW, I've driven everything from a Model T to a Fiat Jolly to a Toyota 2000GT to a Honda N600. I grew up around classic cars and respect them and take great care whenever someone hands over the left seat, however briefly. Hopefully we can find a fit! |

So Brendan is looking for a non-white Fiero.
Or find a White Fiat X1/9. They did exist ;) Joe? Maureen? Lisa? I also questioned about the need for him to do the driving. I can say that all three cars drive and handle quite differently. So any comparison would be so open to subjective opinion that I probably wouldn't lend much credibility to the article. |

Sure, should have mentioned up front, and I get that not everybody wants some writer driving their car. I just have to get a bit of time behind the wheel to talk authoritatively about the way each car drives. And, of course, we'd be respectful of any car.
Is there also a facebook page or somewhere else I should be looking? Can anyone suggest a club member with a relatively stock car that would work? It doesn't have to be a showcar, more a runner - i'd use yours in a heartbeat, Beken, but then I'd have to swap the MR2 because it's white, and the mandate is all three cars have to be different colours. As pointed out, the weather could be a challenge the later this takes to set up. I'd prefer to feature local cars, as I like to get the BC clubs some spotlight when I can: Hagerty's initial plan was to set something up out of Portland. |

I think that this should have been mentioned up front, as you said a short jaunt and glamour shots, no mention about someone else driving. If there is an accident Is Hagerty paying up? Sorry but I'm out. Thanks for the offer.😀

Appears I'm still looking - to clarify, the owner needs to be comfortable with me driving the car for a short stint.
By the way, apropos of nothing in particular, this reminds me that my first Revell model I ever built was a Fiero. |
