So I went on my holidays last sat for a week to Cornwall, drove a total of 970 miles in 7 days all in the wife's 2008 VW polo diesel. All very nice, couldn't fault it. Got home today and picked my le up from my dad's, now bear in mind I've had all new suspension, clutch, brakes in less than 3000 miles, well I was shocked at the difference between the two cars. My first thought was my brakes don't work lol, the polo's are so servo'd. Gearbox felt loose, the clutch was too sensitive, cabin rattling over the smallest road bumps. Took me about an hour to get back into the feel of all things coupe...... Oh I have missed it

I know how you feel. Mines been up at Joe's for a couple of weeks being sorted. And boy have I missed it... I've only owned it for a few months, and it's got right under my skin.

What colour is yours, Bobby? I ask because mine was there between Sat n Thurs last week. I know what you mean, Met. Mine sits at home and I think about the costs. I get behind the wheel and I think Wow. What a car. Sound, presence, style . I took my 7 year old to a footy tournament this morning and nothing in the car park bettered my Coupe for interest

i ran a VT6 last year 2 weekends off and 1 weekend on; great sense of occasion each time i used it; lots of little things make the car so different to anything else - simply opening the doors with the adverse handles, sitting in the seats, looking at the dash, starting with the button, listening to the idle note (watching the oil pressure :-) ). all pleasures without even moving the car.
sold that car in november and not driven a couple since. am really missing it at present, and can't wait to get the LE going.
cracking cars!
