You certainly don't see many on the roads these days as the newest Coupes are now 21 years old . I've had my Coupe about 4 months now & I had a guy in my local petrol station come up to me & say how much he liked mine, which was jolly kind of him .

My bike is a hybrid, good enough for me, it’s all alloy so light enough. I bought it second hand from somebody who rode it a couple of times then stored it in bedroom, they were moving away to Glasgow and wanted rid, I practically stole it, brand new it looked not a mark on it. I played the old man routine and said I’ve only managed to save £180, asking price was £200, even at that price it was a bargain. Once the twenty pound notes were in view, I had my new bike.

To be fair up here in the sticks there are not many who don’t acknowledge you, females will always wave and say hi, I think they feel sorry for me, an old geezer on a bike huffing away… When I come to think about it, the flashier the bike and outfit, it’s less likely a friendly gesture ensues. None of this puts me off though. I do enjoy a trip on the bike in the countryside, there are a few stopping off places to see and grab a coffee and a goodie. Deserted roads for miles at times, gives me thinking time and keeping fit as well..

Welcome back Dr Jeeva. Good on you for getting back to coupe ownership...let alone the same one that you previously owned! Well done

Have had Lancaster Ins on and off for 30yrs.....recently over the last few year's my experience has not been good at all with regard to admin on NCD (they lose or remove it everytime), fees for private plates (didnt pay) and constant spamming via SMS, call and email at renewal time. This was for both of my MGs.....I would not use them.

PaulL, Dill, are you guys still on for this one?

Wow! Back to the Future!
More updates over time!

Yes - sat in the cupboard - no idea what to do with it!

Not Spam Bob!

Re-fitting is a beast of a job, I remember it well ggrrrrr

Porto P540xxx on A697 heading towards Carfraemill 1500hrs today. I was parked on the roadside in the MGTF and gave a wave. The driver waved backed but was probably thinking 'a wannabe coupe owner but if it keeps him happy I'll wave back'

Pete- Good to see you at the last one but the June meeting coincides with our daughter's wedding so we won't be there. Hopefully in August and any other event.

Doing some raking around under the piano and unearthing rather more spare coupé parts than I realised I had
One of these was a handbook and Clarion radio instruction book for a red L.E., reg. as above. Thought about returning them to the original owner who appeared to have bought it from Highfine Ltd in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, but it's been declared SORN, with the MoT expiring in March 2016.

Ring any bells?

............almost impossible when it's running through your veins
