I feel that the touch screen is not mandated by the designers - they do what they're told - but by the product managers/coloured pencil brigade.
One thing that a soft touch interface provides is a very cheap and easy way to differentiate 'upscale' models in a range; effectively a zero cost for a five, ten, or twenty grand price differential.
Requiring you to take your concentration off the road to such an extent that you need a robot to keep driving for you while you attend to it is, of course, a mere courtesy detail.
(As an aside; perhaps they should just let the robots take over. I'm sure they wouldn't take offence at me slowing down to a 30kph limit and overtake on a blind bend, across a solid line, and into oncoming traffic, as happened this morning. Well, fairly sure...)

Hard on the heels of Hopetoun House (May 25th) comes the flagship Borders massive annual event at Thirlestane Castle near Lauder, Scottish Borders. I'll apply for a discounted Club entry as before which also gives us a dedicated pitch, hopefully less challenging than the near-cancellation soggy conditions of last year! Names in by 1st April please. BVAC Classic at Thirlestane1.Edinburgh

Definitely had enough of the cold, damp weather and itching to get my car out of the garage. Top of my list is checking that the radiator fans work and then I’ll hopefully start to use it as a daily driver as the weather improves and that way I can become more familiar with the car’s wants and needs.

Congrats- always like seeing them in articles.
They still are underrated in my opinion- and stand up well against other italian fare of the time!

It's the big clash between the Fiat Coupe and Alfa GTV with the cars appearing on the front cover. Good to see a 16v being featured as well as a 20VT LE. Balanced article with no winner and summarising that they're all distinctive classics each offering different levels of driver enjoyment

Mine’s sagging too. Really unsightly and my passengers always comment on how it spoils the ride.
Anyway, anyone got a guide to fixing the headliner? Oh Yes ... You can find my guide here - Headlining Replacement Guideor in fact a direct link to the PDF - HEREPaul

Ah, Dearbro, how I love it when a newbie’s first post is all about crankin’ that knob! I had to cast my mind back to my first time too. The sweatin’ The profanity, the ecstasy when it reached it’s climax! Of course, I’m a veteran now. It’s so easy. There’s whole websites now dedicated to it. A multi-million dollar industry in fact. Back then, we had to go to a local newsagents and buy a magazine. To show us how best to tease it off. A rhythm pamphlet, if you will. Perhaps you had a Fiesta or better still, Escort. I digress. I’m glad you finally managed to finish. It took me aaages to knock one off. But I’m glad I did. Thanks Matt for making my Monday start with a laugh

Hi Paul,
I think that’s a different event to the one I posted about. I can’t see a date listed for it yet this year but it looks like it’s been end of May in previous years. I probably won’t go to both though as it’s about 2 hrs from me. The sports cars one looks like it might have a bit more variety. I’ll have a think…
Cheers, Andrew

Way back in about 1966/7/8 I was sitting in a Parisian bar with my then boss, a French (Corsican) impresario name of Jean Besnard when I looked round and said to him that I recognised that chaps face.
At which Jean looked up, got up from the table, rushed over to him yelling "Spencer" in a strong french accent. That's how I got to meet Spencer Davis.
I also got to interact with quite a number of swarthy skinned night club owners, all members of the Union Corse, the French equivalent of the Mafia.

I've just paid for my Rosso red one. Does anyone have a Sprint blue one they would like to swap for a Rosso red one?  I'd really prefer a Sprint blue one to match my Coupe, so happy to have a conversation with anyone who would prefer a red one. Boys and their toys, eh  There is a Sprinty on ebay at the mo. I bought that one. Have a Sprint Blue one already but melted/buckled the windows when I left it on the dash at a car show and the sun came out! Idiot. Wanted a mint one to keep so shelled out.....the other one looks good on the shelf on display but from a distance.

Hi the European Emissions Standards info from wikipedia no mention of CO2 just which is printed in the workshop Manual as < 0.35 so which is within euro 4 standard
I have spoken to Fiat and Fiat Heritage via email, told me that the" relevant department" has no information on Euro 4 NOx.
Further more we now know from the Workshop Manual CO and HC ppm are within the Euro 4 Standard. The Fiat Coupe 1998 work Workshop Manual mentions NOx.
"The three-way catalytic converter, makes it possible to simultaneously keep down the levels of the three pollutant gases in the exhaust gases: unburnt hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx).Two types of chemical reaction take place inside the converter: oxidation of the CO and the HC, converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20);reduction of the NOx, converted into Nitrogen (N2)."
If the Fiat Manual is saying NOx is "reduced" Fiat I assume measured NOx at the time the car was tested .
Does any member / club official have any contacts with Fiat that can find out what the NOx value was in 2000 ? or old Fiat Documents that mention NOx value ? anything whatsoever
I am hoping it is within the Euro 4 limit of 0.8 NOx but if it is above the limit I have a definite answer and can put this quest to bed.
Regards
Mac

We picked up the Stepway yesterday morning and we are really pleased with it. We chose Fridge Door White, to save £650, and it does look great
Paul
Fridge door white - more space to stick magnets from Vegas and Torremelinos and your shopping list etc

The Island of Madeira, kind of spotted.
Stumbled across a Fiat gathering and whilst no Coupe was on display I did meet an owner of a red 20v turbo. I have never see one on the Island but apparently there are a few here.

Good morning all,
This is my car which is currently for sale, ikon is planning on viewing the car tomorrow. It was advertised on this forum & the original listing is still available in the for sale archive.
See post by AFPU dated 03/05/2019 Moon Grey Coupe for Sale.
I bought it view Ebay after someone else purchased it from this forum. It is a 20VT6 speed, hope this helps.
Thanks,
Lee.
Hi Lee, I think your "hands-up" attitude is much appreciated and the spirit of openness is very much part of this forum's ethos  Can you shed some more light on the post you referred to? AFPU is no longer listed on here as a user, probably culled due to GDPR regulations if they haven't been on the forum for a good while, so their posts are no longer visible.
