I always go for a random cruise whenever possible.

And with the current weather the whole Coupe driving experience is even more enjoyable.

Glorious sunshine, sunroof open, both windows down, your favourite music complemented by a fantastic exhaust note, the wind in your face, pedestrians turning their heads and admiring your car, other drivers turning their heads and admiring your car... driving just for the sake of driving - now this is what the Coupe was made for!

same here JKD, I love taking the coupe out a lot of my journeys are just so un-needed, on a hot day in a valeted coupe looking in the mirrors and seeing the shiny sides or that long shiny bonnet. Its just such a nice special place to be and it realy turns heads.

Since I've had the new paintwork and the new exhaust system fitted I can't seem to stop wanting to drive it for no reason!

What an epic machine!

I sometimes take longer trips home.

like today for example, I went to pick up my new shiny fuel cap from the couriers depot and instead of going home the way I came I took it the long way via the motorway.

Just for the noise, looks and the sheer hell of it.

Not having any spiders on your Coop is a good thing. They just add unnecessary weight.

I've literally just come back from a blast around Herne Bay/Margate and wow they have some little B roads round there that are FANTASTIC fun!

I couldn't get enough of the car spooling up, chucking me in the seat and surging forward and with that loony exhaust note bellowing away I was in my element. Long live the Fiat Coupe!

Just been for a blast around in the sun, unfortunately hit a traffic jam or two, but when the roads were free, what a perfect day for driving, air-con blasting through, roar of the exhaust...

Love it driving

just come back from a drive, my excuse was I washed it and wanted to dry it off, what I often do is drive on half boost just riding on the turbo torque wave, half throttle, but without any induction growl, the car just whistles whooshes pulling briskly before i back off the throttle surging along smooth and leasurely, love it
