Yep Elephantasmo \:\)

6' 8" in his bare feet

He had a lovely banana 16VT that was on its third engine, 2nd gearbox, etc etc \:D He'd had so much trouble with it and had thrown loads of money at it but had finally decided that him and coupes were not to be.

I travelled down by train to look at it about 3 years ago. Drove it back to his house and started to give it the once over. I got underneath it and it soaking, some kind of fluid leak. Decided I'd give it a miss and he drove me back to the station. On the way back his DV started mooing like a Jersey Cow \:D \:D

He wasn't a lucky chap

IIRC SA_20v moderates a Formula 1 forum.

BigT sold up and bought a Supra I think but wasn't all it cracked up to be. Last I heard he was sort of thinking about getting a Coop again.

Another one who was a regular was joe.

Then there is Gibbo, Matt (from S.A), Woodmaster, Boysie, Kev (SM from the SX forum), what's his name that used to have the HF Integrale avatar (troublemaker!)? Sorry to say that I have forgotten the name of Civic Legends mate who used to be on here, now has the Clio V6?
Ah, happy days , well, mostly.

Sl0ggs has his Elise up for sale and is working hard. Sadly has split up with Sarah though. Just had a quick chat with him on the phone. \:\)

Boysie is on now and again. Depends which Gibbo you mean as I think we have one but not the one from ages ago who lived in Scotland. And CL's mate was _Tom_ wasn't it?

Sure he popped in randomly only a number of weeks ago..

Last time I spoke to Steve^, I was advising him on sound treatment for the studio he bought - ex Oxford Scientific I think - which he was renting out as a facilities place.

Yes, bloody hell, what was his name?

And who was the bloke who came back to his Coupe in the station car park one night and the doors in time-honoured fashion were frozen up, so he had to crawl through the ski hatch...

And who was it who managed to suck a paper towel into his turbo after forgetting to remove it following some under-bonnet work? Added bounce?

And the guy who found he had painted his Coupé yellow after the shelf in the garage gave way and dropped a paint pot onto the bonnet?
