Hi guys i´m just so happy that i have to share this with you

95% of the time i just drive the Coupé on town, and just for short periods, but today and for the first time after my big maintenance (complete suspension refresh,belts,clutch,etc) i went for a litle trip of 150 miles with my father, and the Coupé was just amazing what a great car the Coupé his for doing trips.

The car felt just like new, so tight, so precise, so confortable for a car like this (eibach spings).

Most of the trip was on highway, with just no traffic, and with a perfect sunshine, and i was thinking why do you need more power my car is standard just as blueflame catback exaust and kn filter and it´s was just impossible to drive on the speed limits then when i was on some B rods with lots of traffic and then the Coupé is capable of doing 30 on fifth gear and we can relax after the little blast.

Even my father who is a mechanic and as drived very good cars(Ferrari,AMG Mercs,etc) said to me,Son your car is great

So i´m just very happy with my car

Excuse me for this testament and the flaws in my English, but I thought I should share this with you, for this joy is due in large part to the help of this forum, because 90% of the material was acquired through here, so my thanks to you all.

Cheers,
Filipe

Brilliant news, brilliant write up!

Excellent

great stuff luis, happy for you after all that work

Your right Luis great post. I'm in the same boat after having the car off the road for 8 months then having work done at Johnny Bravos then changing an injector I finally get to enjoy the last of our autumn sunshine. The coop is a great car

Luis don't worry about your English for a start, considering it's your ?second language it's pretty good

As for your post it's those sort of experiences which show the best in this forum - happy motoring mate

Nice one Louis. Enjoy you're coupe mate.

Great write up mate.

After 17 yrs from initial launch date, this amazing car still has the wow factor in her!

Great stuff Filipe

Great write up, I had a similar experience a few weeks ago, these cars really do come into their own as a GT car.

Enjoy the Coupe

Actually i have no reason to complain about my Coupé,he as never let me down the road, he has been very reliable, but know it just feel special, like a new car (i think is like a new car but i have never had a new car in my life )

Like someone said the Coupé is a great GT car

I come to this forum every day because every day I learn something new about the Coupé,and because it makes me laugh and makes me stay in a good mood (Proccy and Marco things ) so big thanks to all of you guys and keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Filipe

Be honest Luis you just love salacious gossip

[and there is no truth in the rumour that Marco or Proccy have been invited on holiday with Liam Fox ]

Yes i confess

Great Stuff Luis,its a great feeling having spent hard earned cash then having a great drive to justify it.

Thanks Sjay, it´s true the hardest things are always the tastiest

The reason of my little trip on Saturday was to get the final parts to this project that my father is doing:

Some fotos:










All the work was done by my father,and is all original

In the past you knew how to make cars

P.S-Can someone please put the fotos Ok, i don´t know how to do it.


Thanks,
Filipe

Great stuff Filipe

Thanks Proccy

No, but if we tell you how to do it now then you'll know how to it again in the future....

So, replace the IMG with the word IMGPOP at each end of the tag that will sort it....

Like this: [ imgpop ] link [ /imgpop ]

Easy.

Thanks Stan, i just ask to someone to do it because i didn´t know, but of course it´s always better to know how to do something

Thanks,
Filipe.

No worries and it means you'll know how to do it again, forever.

By the way. I love that old Mini, I had loads of those in the past! That's an old one too; dynamo not alternator!

Very nice!

ditto, tis a great
