Hi matey

Welcome mate and look forward to reading your posts.
Paul

sorry stuck under the bonet

That is probably the main reason to be here
Seriously though,it is a good crack here...when stan's somewhere else that is
You will have fun here mate and get any questions answered too.
Paul

well ...yes ..first few years scared of touching anything ... fiat dealer service .... then after LARGE bill for oil change ..realised its just another engine ..... one turbo change , yearly self services ,countless tyres here i am

That will all change here mate.
We have coupe specialists all over the country who do not charge fiat prices.
No one here ever,ever takes their coupes to a fiat garage.
Whatever you need....just ask the question ....problems....where can I get this....cheapest for this....anything.
Just ask.
They are a good bunch here and will give you all the help you need.
ps.....they are a bit anal about seeing pics of your coupe.....so am I come to think of it
So where are they....lol
We are all here because we love our coupes ....no other reason.
Paul

morning and welcome to the forum

Ah..that's more like it - surely it hasn't taken you 7 years..

hi and welcome!

Makes you wonder how many other owners out there never visit this site. Incredible I think.

Welcome.

Almost a whole page of the thread and no traditional FCCUK welcome?

Welcome to the club ... Now go check your oil!



-wolfman

7 years in coupe ownership without the help of the forum...impressive

Must have been checking the oil or it would be at the knackers yard years ago

Welcome aboard

Hi and welcome mate

Welcome to the best car Forum

Welcome to a a wealth of knowledge and a very friendly place and all in the love of Coupes!

Go check your oil now lol!

Hi and welcome.
Are you sure you haven't been just lurking.
I did for a couple of years.
But now I can 'one finger type'....S L O W L Y

Welcome to the forum

Welcome

Where in Surrey are you - I work in Epsom and see a few non forum coupes around

How can there possibly be no non forum coupes around?
Seriously, it does not make sense.
Unless they like taking out a second mortgage for an oil change in he local FIAT garage ?

I managed fine with out the forum for well over a year with my original 20v, in reality, there quite simple to maintain and any competent garage is capable of working on then

Sam,he took it to FIAT

The last 2 coupe owners I talked to looked at me strangely when I mentioned the online club. Or maybe they just thought I was strange?

Lots of people don't use Internet forums to talk about their cars...perhaps, they just see it as a car, alternatively they have enough other stuff going on in their lives to manage without us!

Rather than using Fiat, maybe they just use their local friendly garage to change the oil - I certainly did so in the past rather than taking a day off work to go to a specialist!

i only knew about the forum when my old 16vt broke down (engine failure) on the A1 and Roly Drove by and kept me dry from the rain, handed me a forum card and weblink and coupe ownership started to make sense, i would have been oblivious otherwise

Hello and welcome! I've only been on here a few months and honestly don't know how i would have managed without these guys. Matt black may be cheaper than you think, you can wrap it in vinyl, which varies dramaticaly in price. Painting matt black i've been told is also very simple, no polishing/ buffing etc.

Wow thanks for the welcome , just to clarify , first service was at fiat dealer in epsom because she was only two years old and i wanted full dealer service history, but after main dealer charges (and usual main dealer attitudes(should have known better as in the trade)) realised i could do better job. Anyway now no need for service history as can never see a reason to let her go. Used to have a Uno Turbo, these italian cars, they just get in your soul!

jame5 , know what you mean about vinyl wrap, but seen a bentley in a carbon fibre wrap recentley (yes it was a footballers car) and it just looked really tacky

They are so sweet mate...especially when the loud peddle is pressed
You will have fun here and get all the info you need.
It is without doubt,the best car forum on the web and I have been on few.
Welcome again and ask away.
Paul

ps. If you edit your profile at top of page under "my stuff"....You can put an icon up with your model.....helps everyone know what you have...

Thanks , 20v turbo thats us

You are a seasoned member now...lol
All the best people keep those "real" cars mate....lol.
Still waiting for pics BTW.....so is everyone.

Paul
