This is my first spring with my new-to-me Turbo Plus and my first in a Coupe for 15 years. You're right, these need to be used regularly and I won't take mine out in the wet so it's been too long a wait. I love having the sunroof open on a sunny day with the 5 cylinder burbling away. Nothing better.

Took advantage of a warm sunny weekend- to finally get some coupe time.
She has had a service-fresh oil, filters, plugs, - and so a proper shakedown was needed.
Cue several hours of driving- over two days. Taking in the sun and enjoying that five pot burble. She did not miss a beat and felt great-even though I know that there are some long term things n the near future that I want sorted.
Its the not driving them enough regularly that kills them. And it was great to finally have the weather to have her back out. Even the a/cis still working and keeping the inside cool.
Time to plan where to take her this summer - eu is out as the calendar is already full - but Uk/scotland is possible. I doubt she will be going to wales with the 20mph nonsense.
But just nice to have been out for a spin-more to come!
Regards
MM

Brilliant to see!
And not long now for you lucky ones that are going to Italy this year for the anniversary! Bet your all excited.
Very jealous-but hoping you all have the best of time and a safe trip there and back!
Maybe next time for me!
Regards
MM

Well I'm no longer a Coupe driver  Still an owner though  It's now off the road, sorned and MOT was due on Sat 11th  I'm really sad and miss driving it already. The Alfa will now be my every day car and the G6 UPE plate is now on the Alfa. I do like the Alfa, I just don't love it like the Coupe

Hopefully won't have a Quentin Willson column - that puts me off buying the mag these days because of his dogmatic attitude to electricity cars being perfect and anyone pointing out the flaws using disinformation. Maybe I can find a copy with his pages glued shut!!

Hello Bob
What level is your Crit air ?
I don't think that I would be able to get one allowing access into the greater montpellier area.

Thank you, it needed a bit of mechanical work to get it right, makes it harder in Oz as there are so few and hardly any parts.

Short notice. This Sunday 13th May. Breakfast meet at Cambridge Concours in Elsenham Essex. Quite small gatherings but with a nice mix of classic and modern cars. Simon, the business owner also used to be a Coupé owner.

On the subject of permits, I've invested in: Tolltickets box to cover France & Italy 1-year vignette for my few hours in Switzerland Crit-Air sticker for France (still in the post after 3-weeks) Hopefully I'll be zooming through the toll gates with the Tolltickets box, assuming a good wifi/radio connection to the controller.  I've been using the "Liber-t tag" in France for some years. Always very good in that you don't have to stop. As for huge queues, we've only seen them near Grenoble and right down in the south of France near the coast, and yes having the tag resulted in hardly any delay, compared to the mile plus for those waiting for booths. We have though, twice, had people in the TAG lane without a tag  We plan to collect the Swiss pass when we stop over near Pontarlier - Doubs area for a few days before Turin. Our Crit-air arrived in just over a week, so at three weeks I would consider responding to the e-mail they send you on application.

Now that is a lovely looking car.
No wonder you are proud of it.

Hello Jamjam
I've just picked my two sons up from school and told them about your dilemma.
They both said that you should try and stick with it, because blue coupes don't seem to be common.
So, by the time that you'll finish it, they'll be able to drive !

Not sure you'll find one in a breakers yard, but you can still buy some panels. There were loads of them on the road late 90s early 2000s. There was also the Brava and Marea that were very similar, but a different rear body style.

Yeah, I'll get some stuff and get to work once my exams are done.
And I don't think I've seen a MK1 Bravo since my mam had one when I was a baby lol, I'll have a look about on the Internet at coupes and similar cars that are being broken for bits.

Its very confusing. A 97 car is ok but not a 96. They are both built to the same spec. Its just stupid!
I am also planning a 1 day trip into Paris to see the Tower and the Roundabout, both in the 8th district. I contacted the Mayor's office looking for a dispensation and got a reply back saying I would be grand if I did not drive around Paris between 8am to 8pm.
So feck it, that what I am going to wave at the Gendarmerie. Park at a station outside Paris and take the train in?

There's no avoiding that many parts will need fabricating, but get yourself some 1.2mm mild steel sheet and some lumps of wood, metal, old junk that you can shape the steel over and you'll be there in no time.
You may find the MK1 Bravo still has panels available. They won't be direct fit but if for example you need the corrugated section of the floor it might close enough to take a cut and create a repair section
