Hi guys,

Well it's been a few years but decided to take the plunge and buy another coupe. I used to have a sprint blue with zender kit previously owned by Jimbo I believe. I loved it to bits but the rising petrol costs at the time and the need for a few jobs doing such as cambelt and me only being on a student stipend meant I had to sell. Bought a £350 Clio banger to get around then got a decent job and moved to London. Not really needed a car since I've been in London but been thinking about getting another Coupe for a long time.

So last week decided to purchase a rather lovely Silver LE :-) it's not perfect, parts of the leather seats need attention, central locking is playing up, the ride is a bit too bumpy for my liking and the powerflow exhaust is a little too boomy around town compared to the Miltek exhaust I had on my old coupe. But other than these things absolutely loving the car :-) It will just be my weekend toy and my hobby.

Thanks to this forum I got a great deal on the insurance too through Neil Willies so I'm a very happy chap.

Stu

Thanks guys,

I had a look at a plus but needed to much doing and preferred the interior of the LE. I try and get some pics up soon. Ive been giving it a good road test, already done 350 miles up the country. Hopefully I'll get back down in time for Brooklands next weekend.

Stu.
