I'm 29 and this is my first coupé after a long line of modified classic minis (18 to be exact, most of which turbo converted, and two were dedicated nitrous sprint cars)
Loving the Porto, even though its a full time job looking after it especially as I use it every day.
I'd have to spend a hell of a lot of cash to replace it with something that can do everything the coupé can.
I work for Heinz as an Engineer.

36, local gov't. Coupe my only car. Used daily for everything - work, tip, school run, shops, beach, camping (now that I have roof bars  .) Love Italian cars but there's something about FIATs especially in the Summer. I followed the FIAT preschool/school route of car ownership on the way to graduating with the coupe: Panda Uno Tipo Punto 20v 20vt

40, Architect. On my second coupe. Just had fuelling checked today ready for Anglesey on 19th Feb. Last coupe cost me nothing running it for a year, this one is beginning to get expensive but 340bhp makes me forget about the money.

Johnny Green (jobuguk) 57... road sweeper, been into vw beach buggys and offroading vw's and landrovers for the past 20 years, as i was geeting older i was getting colder "no roof on buggy's" so decided to pack all this car stuff up 2 years ago. My wife and two lads where getting fed up with me moping around the house and on the computer all the time, so to cut a long story short my eldest lad turned up one day last march in his van and trailer with a ink black coupe on it which they all payed for £200 and said here you go this will give you something to do it's got a nackerd engine but i've got you another coupe with a good engine this will test you skills and keep you from under mam's feet, i lifted the bonnet and said you are joking ar'nt you this an't no beetle engine!!!. I must say i'm glad to be back in the garage again' i do all my own ally polishing,welding and the sand blasting i do in the cabinet i built in the shed and every thing i do to any car i have to strip and clean so it could be a couple of years before the coupes on the road again "I'M NOT BREAKING I'M RESTORING" but it won't factory finish, See photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/14762173@N05/sets/72157625865966845/show/
