A brief history of Fiat-Scotland.com...
Early Days - 2004/5.
Attachment 2351
We've been through various phases of making the site 'proper' website, rather than just a forum. Time and time again though, we discovered the majority of our users simply wanted a forum, to ask advice and share opinions. So, what the public wants the public gets.
2006 - Recognise the logo?
Attachment 2352
Our first major redesign since launching in 2004. And the FS logo makes its first apperanace. It's at about this point that the traditional website element of FS was to go...for good!
2007 - We lose the Stilo.
Attachment 2353
But we kept the logo. We had some polaroid pics from various meets in this series of banners, but someone lost them too. Wasn't me!
2007 (later) - And we've found the polaroids.
Attachment 2354
One of our (almost) iconic banners. We often wondered why Aberdeen, our launch city, was snubbed from the polaroids. We're still waiting for an answer to this day!
2008/9 - A deeper shade of Blue..
Attachment 2355
Our last big re-design, where pretty much everything was given an overhauled. We upgraded the site core software to vBulletin and started doing things properly. We even headed for Inverness in the middle of winter. Why? I've no bloody clue!

2012 - Drop Dat Dash
Fiat Scotland moves home - and get's a new url. Reliability issues see us drop our hosting provider of near 8 years and move, well, elsewhere.
