Must be the ultimate cherished number for any Coupe lover named Jo, but hey! my name's Pete. This is a clear sign I spend far to much time on the net looking for all things Coupe and buying stuff I don't really need. I'm sure i'm not the only one guilty of doing this. It's needless to say my internet purchases are now being monitored

Lets just say it was the right money hence why I bought it even though I didn't really want it. I'll buy anything if it's the right money as I'm sure it will be of use to someone.

I bought a Plus and 20vt that were crashed and beyond repair. Coupes or any classic shouldnt be bought to be stripped in my opinion But when you have 8 cars like me its a must to have spares to keep them on the road. I am guilty of of buying engines when good ones are availble and over the years have a amounted a good collection of both 16vt and 20vt simply to keep if they are ever needed, but to date have never needed.

Been pulled over for front and rear spacing on separate occasions I was lucky the other day, I was doing high 30's in a 30mph zone, was zapped but, slowed considerably before we got to him, he just gave me a slow down wave of the hand. Phew! No mention or indication of pulling me over for any other reason, thank goodness! I've only just got my licence back after the Post Office lost my last one! P.S. Sorry for the thread diversion

Then proceeded to followed as close as possible for the next 5 miles. Every time I pulled out they did, if I turned left or right they did. At one point had to cut them up if not I would of driven straight into a park car. With one eye on the road, other watching for the inevitable flashing blue lights. Thoughts raced round my head would they stop me due to illegal letter spacing (S 20VT S) that would of been the only reason I came up with. Pulled up at the next set of lights they pulled up behind as before, this time they pulled out and came along side. With 2 pairs of eyes burning into my head I turned to look at them at that point both gave me the thumbs up. Phew!
