FSM COVID-19 protection

From the days of Level 4 lock down: A team challenge to 'create COVID-19 protective costume from found items' for an on-line meeting. The hope was divine Flying Spaghetti Monster protection would offset the colander holes. * The badge was on-hand to replace an aging plastic one fitted in 2009 (see link), but the car was trapped at the mechanics by lock down! https://rcd.typepad.com/personal/2009/09/a-fiat-bravo-touched-by-his-noodly-appendages.html Read more →

Condolences to the crew of Atlas Air Flight 3591

A few weeks ago I ordered two new Flying Spaghetti Monster badges for my car(s). One for the new(er) Abarth and a replacement as a decade of NZ UV had got to the finish on the Bravo one. They were supposed to arrive about a week ago but I suspect may have been lost in a tragic accident. I was listening to a local aviation podcast on Saturday and they mentioned an Amazon freight aircraft had crashed on a flight from Florida to Houston: NTSB Takes Lead Investigating Crash of Amazon Air Cargo Plane A widebody cargo plane hauling packages...

Italian designed for safe noodle transport - FSM Fiat Bravo HGT

My FSM Fiat Bravo HGT has no cup holders* but the door handle works just fine for safely transporting noodles, even on the twisty roads! * I remember a reading about an Alfa Romeo launch when questioned about the lack of cup holders in one of their cars. The response was: “Cafés are for coffee, cars are for driving!” Read more →

FSM Sighting on The IT Crowd

It’s been there all the time but I just noticed the FSM on the wall behind Moss. Cool to see his noodley touch in this classic comedy. It’s currently in never-ending repeat mode on U.K. TV but rewards repeat viewing so I don’t mind! www.channel4.com the-it-crowd Read more →

A Fiat Bravo touched by his noodly appendages

Although not exotic I know my Fiat Bravo HGT is relatively rare in New Zealand. Only a few dozen were imported in total, have been told maybe twelve of the Mk2 version I have. However something has happened which I’m almost certain will make it unique. It has been touched by the noodly appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It seems fitting to have the Pastafarian emblem on a car made in the land of Pasta: a Fiat Bravo HGT 155 FSM! The FSM emblems, and other merchandise, are available from Ring Of Fire who now ship outside the US... Read more →
