(I was going to add this to the I'm a Coupé Owner Again thread but as it's gone a bit off-topic...) ...I find myself fantasising about a permanent collection in a dedicated venue (group buy? ), sporting a standard example of each model with the addition of a few "variations" or individualised coops, ensuring a balanced display of paint colour and upholstery versions. We'll get Rosso to design the premises colour scheme along with the layout of coupé memorabilia within display cases. This might help solve some people's problems with storage of such stuff. Walls would be lined with framed posters and video screens showing compilations of popular events such as the 20th anniversary in Turin, and a booth would be available for simulated coupé track driving. A café serving good Italian coffee and ice cream is a must On certain days perhaps it might serve as a diagnostic centre, bookable in advance. It might also serve as an AGM venue.... Admission - members I packet of Wagon Wheels, non-members 2 packets Let your dreams flow....

Can't help feeling that a museum for coupes might have a certain sense of deja vu about it... ooh, look, there's a couple, it looks just like, er, that one over there, and, er, the one we just saw, and er...

My autistic stepson has something of an obsession with donkeys, he loves going down to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, they've got 500 of them, 'Oh look it's a donkey, oh another one.......' To make matters worse when at school he couldn't pronounce sanctuary, and he used to say Donkey Wankuary, which seemed kinda sppropriate given some of their appendages!
