Two Coupes, one Alfa Spider, empty wallet. You do not own these cars using the head, only the heart love . Arkwright would not own one of these cars - I'm sure that Gordon Brown has at least a dozen wink ......

Four, as it happens. But I had two coupes, and now I only have one, and its replacement is a hundred and fifty quid a month cheaper to run.

I did myself a favour and made my Coupe look cheap. Got wife a Shogun. Just over 20 to the gallon, and has just cost over £700 for MOT shocked We drive the Coupe to save money laugh

That didn't hang around long Dan.

You'll miss it but it sounds like you've done the right thing. Sometimes you have to weigh things up and make tough decisions.

Remember though, you can always go back. Bet you're sniffing around the for sale section on here soon wink
