I have just spent the last 2 month pouring my hard earned cash into my coupe turbo then for the first time ever I have dedicated my day off to personally fully servicing my car with help of the forum.

I must say this car is infectious and I again for the first time never want to change my car ever.

Can anyone answer why When a coupe turbo goes up for sale everyone in the world don't queue up to buy it, best value performance car you can ever buy.

Am I sad or is it okay to love your car more than your wife and kids?

I guess this is a belated hello to all as well.

Well I'm back in a coupe now after having around 10 other cars in the few years and I'm wondering what I bothered for.

Coupes are epic

OF COURSE IT IS NOT OK! There are so many other things that are more important and lovable than a Coupé! Here is few of them:

1.Umm...
2.The...
3.That thing...
4.You know...
5.rolleyes
6..........
7............(cough)

Okay.. I guess there isn`t... So I suppose its completely OK! laugh

Welcome aboard Hender! And happy Coupéing! thumb

I don't believe people *really* love their coupes.

They just tell them that to get them into bed.

I had a good laugh at this and then wondered if this was just a tad too far!

Have you ever looked at the exhaust pipe and thought 'you dirty little Italian Strumpet' ?


Nor have I.

Well yet again this forum has answered my much needed questions, I just hope my love for the car does not go as far as the stages some members are currently at, I would hate to get 9 month down the line and have a baby punto or Cinqi... I'm not ready for that.

Come on though, we've all had a rub and a stroke haven't we? That freshly clay bar'd satin smoothness. I couldn't keep my hands off her all night.

Answer this question.
You've agreed to do a mini-shop or go out for the day with the wife/GF/both laugh in the Coupe.
You've strategically parked with the wheels on a partial lock for that complete look and checked she's locked several times after putting the passenger seat belt back tidily.
You're walking away from the Coupe with the supposed loves of your life and then suddenly ..you look back.
In a flash, you remember you have to go back to the car fo something you've forget (you haven't really .. just a ruse).
You see the 3" tailpipe and the Ferrari-esque rear lights and whisk round to the front to a quick rub/polish on the semi-hyperbolic headlamp covers.
Grudgingly, you return to the transient fleshpots.
Struggling here ..

Thanks for that informative video, does anyone know how to sell cars on this forum, cant face telling my dad he is definitely not that understanding and will take no responsibility.

If interested in the car I will definitely swap for a vauxhall / Peugeot as I have been made aware from my doctor that he hasn't came across a patient that owns these type of cars and has this condition.
