We may have had this thread before, but new year, new thread

Mine would have to be after I had recent bought my coop in 2006 and it I had just flown back from Germany after a weekend of good food and drink with mates in july

I had to get from Stanstead airport to South Woodham Ferrers to drop one of my mates off.

It was midnight the weather was warm, it was a clear night visibility was good and between where we needed to to go and where we started were lovely fast de-restricted country roads with sleepy villages where you would slow down...then as soon as you hit the national speed sign, blast up to speed again! a few nice hair pins and a nice duel carriageway to finish off probably about 40 miles in total journey distance.

It was that "getting to know stage" of the coop, and one which convinced me it was the car for me!

How about you, what is your most memorable standout fun drive.

Austin

That's easy: under police escort on motorbikes driving through Turin city centre in convoy back in 2004

Mine was this summer when i went 200 km to holland to get my 20vt, the whole trip back home was with a big big smile (i even think there was a moment that i lost the coupé paranoia )

To Italy and back in Sept 2007.

Mine was when I first picked up the car with my Dad. He was following me on the way back and was rather amazed at the pace at which the car took off. It was a great feeling having wanted one for so long - especially with the dump between gears - that sound will never grow old.

<cliché> Every trip in the Coupé is memorable </cliché>

Seriously though I think the best for me has to be the tunnel run we did as part of a midlands meet a few months back

most memorable had to be the 30 - 40 mile trip home the day i picked the coop up. nothing interesting, nothing foreign, nothing out of the ordinary, just the feeling of driving a car i absolutely loved in the knowledge it was all mine...i was grinning the whole way home

the last lakes meet i went to, when i got lost....:D i dont like driving my car at the moment, not until its got a silencer put back on

Yep - the drive home after I picked my first one up six years or so ago

My most memorable trip was when me and the GF drove down to Weymouth.

Just the other side of Salibury the throttle cable snapped on a dual carriageway.

Luckily I managed to bodge the 2 broken ends together with fishing line.

The French Fiat Coupe meet in 2007 at Chambord. Fantastic weather, fantastic venue, fantastic people especially Petep

Weymouth is one of my best drives, great roads, great beach and great sea front. Of course all after great car

Thanks Ned

Yes that was a brilliant weekend following on from a week in a gite a village near Blois with my wife and grandson.

Empty roads, great scenery, excellent company and a 27 coupe convoy from Chateau Chambord to a chocolate factory.

What it's all about.

Not been able to have one yet as i keep getting problems!!!

but planning to ASAP!!

looking forward to open roads, sun shine and a coupe that works enough for me to be not to be recovered home!!!

Back up from Le Mans last year. The first sunshine of the weekend, all day to get from Le Mans back up to the ferry. French A roads (no Flics) and a few good mates in their toys.

Bliss

Nowhere special, just at home.

Middle of summer, windows down, music on, sparkling paintwork, new exhaust, putting my foot down and listening to the noise as i took in the great day.

Austria and back to Ireland via Germany and the U.K. in 2006, hoping to go a bit further this summer

That was fantastic

I kind of used mine as my wedding car, Drove myself to the church. Then the next day used the coupe for the drive for my honeymoon. I havent driven her since last Feb, got to fit waterpump and cambelt today and hopefully she's ready to roll again

as a passenger in my first Coupe around Rockingham Raceway, with Matt Neal driving (and ragging the car hard)

clicky

Shame I can't get him to do it in my current Coupe

First european meet 2001 in Luxembourg,22 cars in convoy.
Kayjey in the lead.the meeting was superbly organised,with a visit to castles and lunch in a good resteraunt.

Mine was in a warm summer evening last year, after I had FINALLY done everything that I wanted to do to the Coupe and it was running perfectly. Going over Woodhead pass in Derbyshire just as the sun was on the horizon, amazing smooth road stretching out in front, breathtaking scenery, not a single other car in sight, I'll never forget that drive.

Think I'm with BelfastJohn on this one, picked it up and it was motorway all the way home so no B-road bashing but just the excitement of knowing how much it was going to be.....

And it still is, I could say the drive to work and back every day is just as good cos I still love it. Hoping to make it to some meets this year, and hope to count those as memorable, but up to now I could say the most memorable drive is usually the last time I drove it anywhere.
