Sorry Matt but thats just bloody daft.

I don't care what people say, but the coupe is not a car for a baby, its small, cramped, difficult to get the seat in and out of, not overly smooth, low down and dare I say it, a money pit and not totally reliable!

You then have the baby that will need nappies, pram, clothes, food, more nappies, more clothes, toys, more clothes, food, etc - at the grand age of 3 weeks old my baby is costing ALOT!

Sorry Matt, but just wanted to say it, but its your car / life / baby / etc - good luck mate thumb


What are you, his guidance councilor?

The man has already bought the car, so it's a little late to give him the speech now and make him feel guilty. I'm sure before anyone goes down this road, they have a good think of whether they can afford it, especially if there's a baby on the way.

Life's too short to be an old prude your whole life, so I say good on you for having the balls to do something that could potentially have your balls removed by your missus. thumb

Having 3 kids has never been a hindrance to owning the coupe for me. In fact it's only now they're older i don't let them in it - there's tons of space for everything, no worries

Mad but nice car. Combine the best bits of both to make a top notch one and then sell the other!

Now now, Kiddies! JimO I see where you're coming from, but I'm a grown man (well physically at least) and I'm capable of deciding what I do and how I spend my money smile
The missus will be getting a more family suited car in the next couple of months, I'll be taking the clio as a run around, leaving the coupé as a weekend/fun car. If I can't afford it, it'll just be kept in the garage until I can.
Going to sit in it now and make "BRUM" noises, reckon I've got the 5-pot warble almost down to a tee laugh

I know you are Matt, I just read everyone saying well done, congrats - and I just wanted to add my spin to it - but as I say good luck and all the best smile

Great buy Matt. I have done some work on this car, fitted a new alloy rad to it 18 months ago. It was indeed immaculate and I did consider buying it myself but after my LE I realise that I just don't like the recarro seats. My arse is way too big frown

Hey! It's not much but it'll fill a pram laugh I have buns of STEEL for your information. Okay it's not a hard steel (stainless for instance) it's a more malleable steel, but steel nonetheless!

She really is a minter. Can't stop smiling! laugh

This is incredible if you choose to believe that the "she" you are referring to is, in fact, the missus.

So this is how the conversation went...

Her: Where's your house keys?
Me: Here (gives the keys over)
Her: Thanks. (Slight Pause) Why have you got two coupé keys?
Me: (thinking Oh sh*t but playing it cool) One for each coupé
Her: What other Coupé?
Me: You know, the one in the garage? (BIG smirk on my face)
Her: What are you talking about?
Me: Oh, didn't I mention it? I bought another
Her: No you haven't!
Me: Yes I Have!
(the same two sentences are said about five times over)

Initial shock, then mild anger, then I guess everything clicked into place, for instance why I'd been caught measuring the garage with a tape measure and such! However she's taken it well, of course the promise to get her another car in March has sweetened it a bit laugh

woohoo



Coopless!
