Well that was mozzafiato (breathtaking!) Yes, touristy - mainly French, I guess because of its proximity - but lovely people, smiling, kind and patient. There was an American couple next to us in a coffee bar one of whose bag had been snatched (like described above) but they phoned a tracker on it which beeped and the thief dropped it all in an alleyway, nothing taken! The 2 days in Genoa not nearly enough, left us wanting more hopefully on a future occasion. Food not too variable, usually local specialities involving seafood and lots of trofie (a type of pasta) with Genovese pesto which they're famed for. Now to stop shrugging my shoulders, palms splayed outwards  A super experience, even the Leaning Tower in Pisa was awesome in spite of the crowds

Hi
Anybody here the current owner of LE 0216? I have the LE jacket (size L) that would have been supplied with the car when new. Seems only fair to offer it to the current owner first...
The LE register suggested it was 'metalste' but they are no longer a forum member.
Alan.

thank you both.
<£130... not too bad considering its bolt on replacement by the looks, and no-one else seems to do it. ill drop em an email just to double check fitment before swapping beer tokens with them.

Yeah the work number is advertised in serval places so I don't see why that would be a problem as is the email address.
The trail has been quiet for a month now on those.

Hey Mark, like you I'm disappointed that Viva Italia has moved back to October, but I'm hoping to come along in something Italian again...
And Spa Italia would be great to visit again, but it clashes with a UK event for me (National Ferrari Owner's Day)

I knew AlfaShop could supply some Coupe parts but I dont know they had a section on the website, that could be useful. But they have some parts listed twice, sometimes at a sensible price, sometimes at a ridiculous price! (rear bump stop for example)

Ive been listening to old episodes of Round the Horne, which was on the wireless in the 60s.
One sketch was a wartime drama set in Stalag Luft Limprist.
Well, it was only a little camp.

I think the ad says it was once serviced by Joe of FCCS - he may be able to give you more info.
Its not Clint's car is it? Used to be on the forum a few years back. If its the car I am thinking of - I think it was a nut and bolt rebuild by Joe a few years ago.
BUT its possible I am wrong and thinking of a different car entirely - see if you can speak to Joe.
Lets hope the car stays with a forum member.
Regards

Hats off to you Alan!
Let us know how life without a Coupe is? Many feel the pull so strongly they come back to ownership!

I've not seen one when I've been in mine for some time and I think it's the 1st time anyone has responded on here. I've never seen one when I've been in mine, but I've only done about 800 miles in 3 years so I guess the chances are very slim. Looking to go to the Departure Lounge certainly in June when the Mrs is away on holiday and I'm dog sitting.

Might be worth noting (and I'm sure you have) that some 'technical/maintainence/how to issues are appearing under different threads eg tuning/styling etc.Can't really see how tuning is ever less than technical. It has indeed been noted!

If the CV boots are torn = Replace CV boots
If they start clunking = Replace CV joint
You've got the 6 bolts on the gearbox end & 1 massive 32mm nut in the hub

I'd agree it's likely OK, but there are differences in the charge discharge profile. For example modern cars tend to hold an AGM battery less than 100% charge to prolong life as they can be sensitive to overcharge. The deep cycle nature means you don't see a functional difference. The Coupe's basic alternator can't support that. It'll work, but what do you get by fitting an AGM? Particularly as they tend to be a bit dearer to buy The difference in charge discharge profiles doesn't matter. It just means the battery is capable of discharging and charging faster without negatively impacting the lifespan of the battery. Does the coupe's basic voltage regulating alternator need an AGM? Perhaps not, but the lifespan of the battery will definitely be longer compared to a basic plated lead acid battery. I'm an owner of an automotive Lithium Iron phosphate battery brand here in Malaysia, and our batteries have similar characteristics to an AGM battery...albeit with much more cranking power, an even longer lifespan, and in a much lighter package. Since you already have the AGM battery, just use it mrwiggle

Car drove well thanks. Turned in where I wanted, stopped well too. The boost was really restricted and I tried not to rev above 4K rpm, so the speeds were all a little underwhelming. I couldn’t actually pass a Celica on the straights. All good though, you cant rush these things. Found a friend on arrival too

That's not a bad price!
Some local garages are maximizing the situation and localy one is at £2 per gallon for diesel....blatant profiteering.
But inevitably some be feel forced to stop there to get fuel!
Apparently there has already been a spike in tank draining of cars without locked fuel caps (regular cars not coupe's specifically)
