Carl can't help me out with a new wheel at the moment frown

Do you think it is still ok for me to drive around with the 'hit with a hammer' wheel? I'm only doing the school run and local shopping at the moment. What do you think?

Julia smile

Hi Julia. Welcome to the forum.

I also own a 1997, red, 20v N/A. I haven't done as much in mine as you have done in yours though! I am not surprised you can not bring yourself to sell it. I bought mine in August and it is the only Coupe I have owned.

Hello Coops smile

Good to meet you. I've just realised that I didn't buy my car in 1997, but 1998 instead - oops, genuine error. I call it my Essex car because the number plate starts S6 ---.

My car looks just like yours but a bit dirtier wink

Thanks for the welcome smile

Jx

Let's just hope Stan hasn't got so bored that he's resorted to a new user name and pretending he's a girl in order to get more attention.

I do not own a 'burgundy' car, that would be how a BWM driver would describe their pile of metalwork. I own a dark red metallic coupe with (hold your breath) a tan leather interior.

I am not a conventional kind of person, I don't like to run with the crowd. The dark red exterior contrasts nicely with my green eyes, and the tan leather acts as a perfect foil for the obligatory black dress.

Maybe my Italian parentage has something to do with my lack of respect for convention?

Both, he has a road bike nice sunny days, a mountain bike for wet days and a filthy dirt bike for motocross days.

He is well catered for, and all I have is my coupe for company smile
