I am such a drama queen, announcing I am selling my vis every time something goes wrong.

Several people in my family are anti-Coupe. My sister thinks it is hideous and calls it "the batmobile", my brother in law is really gloomy about future parts availability, my Mum (who is 94) calls it a "racer" and panics every time I take it on the motorway. (But it's OK that my other sister rides a Harley!)

I think perhaps I talk about selling because I need to hear someone say "Don't do it!!!" Because so many people seem to see it as just a money pit or some kind of weird obsession which I need to grow out of. My mother in law said I should get rid of it because it "upsets the neighbours". Whatttt??? Who cares about the neighbours?

I have owned my vis for almost 6 years and before that had a non turbo Scottie. My dream car is an electric blue Plus. My pal Mary who I have known since I was 7, thinks I like cars because as a child I wasn't allowed to have toy ones. My folks thought giving boys' toys to girls turned them into lesbians! Seriously, they really did!

Whatever the reason, I appreciate so much being able to come on this forum to have some sense talked into me when I am wavering about keeping my beautiful Italian stallion!

Thank you from the bottom of my petrol tank. xxxx

OMG! Check out this car obsession! At least I am not this bad!

Yes, that's seriously weird Annie.

At 1 minute 21 seconds it says, ''Some cases include attractions to a rollercoaster, an elevator and the Eiffel tower.''

I bet those relationships were full of ups and downs.

Annie, is there any chance of having some a dat stuff ye's on please.

I returned to my coop parked in Tesco today and the fella who parked next to me said, "That's the perfect car." What other car do you get that reaction in? Need I say more.

My friends and family have no opinion of my Coupe really, except they like the colour

My Coupes have been the most reliable cars I've owned and although they have their faults, so what? It's an old, unusual car and worth the money.

Mine is an everyday car that does skip runs, ferries the grandkids around, shopping, work, etc, etc. Things will go wrong, it's an old car, but it's the fun of trying to find out what might go wrong next

Don't waver about keeping your Coupe Annie, keep it for as long as you love it or can afford to keep it, regardless of what anyone else says

Ha ha ha ha!

The strongest stuff I take is TEA, gallons of the stuff though!

All you ever needed to know about tea (though you should really start on page one, I carefully linked to page two, where I have a starring appearance ): https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/15/cuppa_round_up/?page=2

You HAVE lost weight Neil!

I owe it all to consuming Lapsang Souchong.

I knew a man from Algeria who used to make tea by pouring hot water from the hot water tap onto a teabag in a cup. Nobody had told him the hot water was not for drinking.

The ONLY tea for me is Clipper organic Indian tea with Moo organic skimmed milk. No sugar. Although a scone with cream and jam goes rather well.
