Busy couple of weeks:
yellow s reg 20v in Manningtree Station carpark.

red 20v on the A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon on the 1st April

I was walking for the first and in another type for the second so you didn't get a wave. But next time maybe!

Had a weird 2 minutes on the A1 last night!

Turning onto the A1 at 18.00 at Sandy, and a Banana was just turning off the same junction (Registration: SIW ....)

Then 2 minutes later, another one refilling at the Shell garage, registration S1 something. Had to do a double take coz' they looked pretty much the same at first!

My first 2 spots since I got my coop back!

I.

Occasionally see a coupla coops around norwich - my red 16v
is sometimes parked near NCA.
Just bought a 20vt so might sell the other one, trouble is I'm addicted to the engine noise......so might keep it.

Saw several on the way to the footie yesterday.

Started with Sprint Blue T--- RAR heading west on A14 not too far east of the M1 at about 1015.

Then Red 20v R--- JPD heading west on A14 near Cambridge Services just before 11am.

Then not long after a clean looking red 20VT S--- DDK heading west on A14 near J12 Sandy.

Then in Colchester a Scotts Green S--- FMW parked up on Creffield Road, before seeing a yellow 20v (R-reg) heading past The Crown at Lexden just as we were heading in for a few at about 1215.

Anyone on here?

Coupe spotted.....

Took my 20VT ink black for an exciting trip to Huntingdon Garden & Leisure (garden centre) today.

Oddly enough an eldery lady (in her mid 50's), with a trolley full of bedding plants, accosted me on leaving my car.

"Is that a turbo ?" she said "my husband & I used to have Coupes 16V NA (Red) then a 20VT (Sprint Blue), but I found the turbo a bit too fast. Yours is a nice colour though, shouldn't attract too much attention from the police unlike our red one....."

Had a nice little chat with her, thoroughly pleasant, but a bit surreal.

If you were walking in Manningtree you must be near me, Brantham. Mine is a 20vt Portofino Blue, there must be another the same colour nearby because people keep saying they've seen mine but it hardly ever leaves the drive.

I see a black coupe on the B1070 between East Bergolt and Hadleigh most mornings, I'm usually in the passenger seat of our works van so a wave would look a bit silly.

Yesterday evening, about 6.45pm ish, a W-reg 20VT in met blue (nice love ) & about 100 yards behind it an Ink Black example on the plate K** MAX on Shrewsbury Avenue in Peterborough...both driven by guys in shirts & ties (I think). I was running at the time so couldn't flash & wave really (without getting arrested wink ) but was quite surprised to see 2 so close to each other that I haven't seen round these parts before ooo

Typical - I never used to see Coupes in Colchester when I had mine. But now I've sold it and moved one they all seem to have popped out of the woodwork.

Nice to see an LE though.

It's possibly me they're seeing (noisy 20vt in Portofino blue) heading from Ardleigh to Ipswich via Manningtree on the daily run...

Hello Steve,

Probably will be you, there can't be many Portofino Coupes in the area (or many Coupes at all for that matter).

If you use the A137 watch out for the camera van that parks up in Tattingstone, he caught me a few years ago doing 57mph (just) in the 30 zone.

Yup. Very close - I live in Bradfield. Sprint Blue 20vt. North Essex (and a bit over the border smile ) is obviously becoming something of a hotspot.

Me in the porto, front wheel felt the urge to part company with the car. Stopped in time to tighten the three remaining studs and limp home. The three studs all have damage to the upper threads and the locking stud(missing) has striped the tread in the hub ooo can anybody recommend a garage around colchester?
