Hi,

As some of you may know I have been after a Coupe...and I finally got one last night....lovely!
S reg Sprint Blue 20vt.

I went out in it today after getting insurance sorted etc. I took it easy, had a nice drive round just to get used to everything.
Later on I took her out again, I went along the Dual Carriage way, a nice steady speed to warm her up, came off at a roundabout to start coming back home.
Re-joining the slip road it was all clear, so I put her in 3rd and eased my foot down to the mat...my god. It felt like I had unlocked the gates of hell! The speed is immense..and I didn't even floor it properly.
This car is a huge step up from my old car...and I LOVE IT. But I have to say it did scare me a little, it kind of took me by surprise. The power just comes...and doesnt stop coming...

I've just got to say thank you to everyone on here for persuading me to get one of these ridiculously amazing cars!.

You have chosen well my son

nice! the only coupe i've ever driven is the one i bought, and it only needs a better FMIC to break 300bhp. before this i had (and still have..... must put it up for sale) a mk3 fiesta 1.1 - now thats a big leap

Wait till you get the tuning bug....enjoy

Enjoy but be careful, especially with all the wet weather Too many coupes get written off

Yes, far too many

Enjoy the car though

Just wait till you get a gtec chip in! After over a year of ownership the coupe still puts a smile on my face! Mr C

I remeber driving mine for the first time, coming from an AX gt , it was a big leap. When I floored it I could not stop smiling in enjoyment and disbelievement at the speed. I got out of it shaking!! enjoy .. G

After three years I still get that when I plant the loud pedal, although I've had to make a couple of changes to keep the smile as wide as it was

I know what you mean! Took mine for it's first proper spin only this morning after getting the brakes sorted (thanks Motormech I must admit my butt cheeks are still still clenched firmly together!

Well done Vinno, glad you got it in the end
