Well after a week of it sitting on the driveway (been studying), I finally got to drive the coupe. Well its fair too say I enjoyed every minute, although it was only a pretty straight forward trip on a dual carriageway. The radio is yet to be switched on, just listening to it purr

I have yet to clean it, not that its really that dirty, just want to do give it the full wash, clay, cut, polish and wax treatment, hopefully this weekend.

A couple of minor essentials jobs (spare oil / tracking) have been sorted and I have a couple of things that I would like to do although there isnt any great rush, oh and a nice big 2F2F spoiler joke.

it wont be long till the rattles are louder than the pur of the engine,then you will be turning the stereo up

If it is the shippy I think, he will be more than familiar with the rattles as had one before!

Are you returning to the fold shippy?

Yep, same one. Been out of the group for about 14 months and got sooooo bored with my 06 Astra that I decided to return, although I did look at quite a few other car brands first.

Not that bothered with rattles tbh (ok maybe a couple) but my wife drives a 206cc so the rattles of a non-solid shell have prepared me well. Funny thing is, the Astra didnt rattle, but both the coupe and 206cc are so much more fun

Glad you're sorted now. Please some gratuitous photos now.

Cheers, see you sold yours too , hows the M3?

I will try and sort some pictures at the weekend, although I have heard its going to rain, rain, rain

Yes, it was a sad sight seeing it go. Still not sure if it was the right thing to do but then I get in the M3 and all is well! Slowly getting the hang of this rear wheel drive malarkey...
