painterman, what colour coupe do you have, im just wandering if i have scene yours about, im in shrewsbury?

im glad that you had a rant, its good to get it of your chest once in a wile. having moved away from coupes, and then finding the error of my ways. i know exactly were your coming from

i think its familiarity that your feeling, and trust me, that better than a feeling of loss

out of interest, painterman, do you do some kind of painting work?

fiat coupe 20vt

come on mark, we all have days like that..coupes take so so much away from us, kick us when were down, and dance on our pay packets come MOT time

but there is always that one day, perfect weather, perfect roads, and perfect car...and there is no other place you would rather be. sterp away from the coupe for a minit, and say to your self, once them jobs are done, i wont need to do them again!

I've had days when i'm think about changing my coop, after 5 years maybe it's time for a change.
E46 M3 & 350Z have caught my eye. Both great cars but i don't think i could sell my coop to buy one of them.
I'm more likely to buy another car & keep my coop for a long time.
