Just been on eBay having a look at coops that I'm not going to buy and there it is,my old 20vt up for spares.
Now I sold it Feb last year and my work buddy bought it,he sold it early this year.we've both spent money on it and I'm pretty confident its not worthy of being broken,sad really as it looks another coop will be off the road soon.
And he's saying that he sprayed the wheels graphite grey 3 weeks ago when in fact it was me 2 years ago!

EBay item number 271015597822, on my phone can't post a link.

Why buy a car which is in good working order then break a couple of weeks later?

WTF! Actually felt a little sick watching that. Their breaking it because " no fiat coupe deserves to be on the road"

If you look at the sellers other items it's already in bits!
I now realise I sent this seller a question about the springs as in what make we're they. One word answer 'spax'
I feel quite queasy now! I know parts got to come from somewhere but.....

It's a bit like clothes.

If you don't see the sweatshops that companies use to make them, you never think of why they are cheap. Same with the coupe.

he's just trying to make a quick buck! he bought this car off ebay a couple of weeks earlier for £650, then sticks it back on for £1800 and as no one wants to buy it, he decides to break instead! you can see the original listing where he bought it from in his feedback.

Hey,fair enough he wants to make a quick buck but its a shame a perfectly good coop is getting chopped up.if it was knackered then fine.and I didn't like the tone of the vid or the people in it ,can't get him saying" no coop deserves to be on the road" outta my head grr

He is a well dodgy fella, he welched on at least two deals with me, plus he's been banned from this forum more than once.

I would suggest everyone avoid

Cool, that's at least two fewer smile

I'm sure they'll find plenty of people happy to buy their parts, especially now they are getting publicity via our forum rolleyes It is such a shame their Coupé forum died hehe

Don't go feeding the TROLLS people wink

What a pair of muppets!

Can we not report them to ebay for quite literally lying in the youtube advert. They said it's got gtec 2, 104k miles, stage 3 turbo blah blah blah. When the original for sale advert says - gtec 1, 120k miles & 360 deg turbo...

That video is aimed specifically at us with the intention of winding up as many people as possible. Anyone remember the 'what is the LE number' eBay ad? It's the same guy. After he got a load of stick for that one he seems to have a bee in his bonnet about the club. Don't give him the satisfaction of a reaction. He's probably sat at home reading this and gloating about how angry we all are.

Why are people getting excited over this?

It's a car that will get more money for parts than it will as a whole, it isn't the first and it certainly won't be the last coupe broken for parts, where do you think Iceberg and Joe get their parts from?

Think people are getting excited over this because the guys involved are coming across as tools and that their on a bit of a mission to strip/ get as many as possible off the road.oh and they are lying about the car parts they're stripping. Not very good in my opinion.

What you guys forget is the more they break up ect the more value it adds to are coupes!!

They will get bored with breaking coupes, once they don't make any money or they waste mee time with the better it is!

Who cares!!

Break as many as you guy get your hands on!!

Comments pending approval...aww that's a shame. I doubt my comment will appear on youtube then:

It's strange...the guy in the video looks like an adult (well, an adult something..perhaps a bonobo) but the fact that he has posted the last 10 comments on his own video and has gone out of his way to annoy people suggests the mind of a child an an unhealthy obsession with FCCUK.

If it doesn't appear then I know I've annoyed him enough to block it wink

I bet none of the so called haters will think twice to buy parts off him(as they have in the past as he's mentioned on there).
