I drove my new coupe yesterday properly since I bought it and insured it.

Yesterday was a day of mixed pleasures, let me explain.....

#1
I had given the coup a good looking over whilst in the garage, turning it on the occasionally waiting for the insurance to kick in. I noticed a ticking noice and wondered if it was the dreaded manifold. Barbz confirmed it had had a new manifold fitted so i checked it out. What a relief, new manifold, no visible cracks or discolouration. Maybe mild warping which i can sort out.
--> Result!

#2
M25. Stupidly i think i went through a gatso bridge with cameras. Im pissed at myself for being so stoopid. Oh well, lets wait and see. If I get 3 points I'll deal with it.

Moderator: we do not allow those sort of Vs posts any more, so it has been removed.

Post mod edit (hope that's ok chaps, I need a happy ending)
--> Drove and had fun day out smile

I wouldnt put the manifold in the "dreaded" category, more like the annoying nuisance category. laugh
