Nice one Jim. I know what you mean about Coop ownership. Obviously there will come a time when my Coop has to depart from my company, but hopefully that's some time away.


Long live the Coop Jim....... driving


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I think I'm coming up 7 years next month, I've never completely ruled out coming back though.

The problem is, once you have owned one, you know how good they are and the feelings these cars evoke (especially when on boost).

Therefore, why would anyone who's been a prior owner not want another? There's nothing else on the road like them and they will never be made again (Maybe?).

You only live once and men like fast cars, attractive and unusual cars and cars that make a nice sound (disclaimer - as do some women of course - My wife has a c30 2.5 turbo - not interested in the speed aspect at all - weirdo!).

The 5 pot burble has done it for me since I first heard the Quattro.

The scene is set for higher prices, people are loving these cars these days. - Don't miss out.....

Perhaps not a bad idea for a tad more headroom esp. with a helmet.....

It doesn't say anything about being driven at "100+ leptons on a private test track", does it?!

I love the pic, maybe one day I'll get to repeat the feat...

Lovely, Pete - I'm sure by the time my grandkids are old enough to understand, I'll have replaced Reuben in my own memory anyway!

Sorry Jim, it'll take me a bit longer to find them than I'd hoped.

I'll have another go next week.
