I know Coupes are getting rare but I can't believe that in the couple of months and 2000 miles I've had mine I've only seen one other on the road. How often do you drive yours?

Not as often as i would like! I have a work van and am frequently on call, so just use it for pleasure I generally avoid crap weather too, all the other opportunities, i have a drink in my hand so any driving is a big no no! No licence no job!

I'm in mine every day for the work run all be it 6 miles a day, had mine since late last year and I've only seen one other in my driving time, I do love driving it but feel a bit guilty for subjecting it to daily duties

Almost 3years since I last drove mine. A wee reminder why Matt? Mine's a DD and limited to 6k per annum for insurance. Enough for commutes and trips to see grandkid, ah and one splurge to Belgium

Every day. I do about 1500 miles each week in it. I bought it with 81,000 on the clock just over two years ago. It now has 123,000 on it. I have not seen another coupe on the road in months.

Barely used this last two years. Gentle local use every 2 to 4 months to reduce risk or problems associated with long term storage. Annually it goes down to England for a service, MOT and anything it needs before going back in the garage. Don't need it and not much opportunity to use it (family + Touran). But I love my Plus and can't ever part with it.

Ten years ago I was easily doing 10,000 miles a year. But a few years ago I was down less than 3000 and has dropped each year to doing less than 400 miles last year!

There is an perfect opportunity to use it on the 25th at Cupar bring it along. http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1472259#Post1472259Hey Barney, if we get this drifting organised we might both be parting with our Coops for some rear wheel power

Would love to but been unable to attend SICD since 2008! Will be abroad this time next week and JohnnyBravoTurbo is taking good care of my coupe. Have the RWD thing covered already - recently bought a stage 4 VX220 Turbo.
