I have to say I was starting to loose patients with my coupe this year and now I am fully smitten with it again. Absolutely love driving it at the moment and can't get enough of that 5 pot warble ringing in my ears. New grp bonnet hopefully going on in a weeks time (still needs flatting and polishing) and it will be nearly sorted.
Hmm maybe loose the 28 rsr next year and bolt on something with a few more minerals if the 3p tax hike on fuel is scrapped that is :-) love

I'm certainly not alone when I point out that the Coop... when all is well it's hard to think, what could you get pound for buck. Still cheap if you consider other options.

People already know this........... driving


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

The problem is that every social event normally falls on a date when I am working. Bad times! Knight its a 286rsr. If it wasa 287 I would hope to be in the 400 club. Maybe next year once I have some money.

i've been through alot of shiiiit with my coop as most of you know.... People always tell me sell it.... Break it... It's nearly cost me my marriage on more than one occasion.... Lets just hope the mrs doesn't notice the Apexi ebc when its back from its latest "Service".... Lol. I can honestly say i never see a time when i get rid.... Its a keeper!
when its right, it's soooo right.... Not often but enough to keep me hooked...

when people ask me "what you having next" i simply reply.... Some more pistons probably! smile
can't wait to get mine back again.... Stevo chuffed for you mate, its an amazing feeling when the old italian is running sweet even though i don't have the 5 pot warble or magic 3rd gear... smile

Trust me I have already spent way way more than 400 quids at Joe's but if the big man can get me into the 400 club for 400 quid that would be awesome :-)

I've got a spare nitrous kit which will easily put you in the 400bhp club stevo smile failing that I know joe has more than enough parts on the shelf for your needs
