Is this for daily driver, or weekend toy? The Coupe can do both.

Welcome aboard!

And I can't believe I'm first with this again - But Check your OIL!

Oh, and it's forum law to post pics of your new steed.

Coupé paranoia - exhorting someone to check the oil in a coupé they don't own!

Welcome, good luck in the search - love, heartache and empty wallets await.

When you are buying, it is wise to budget for maintenance of a performance car and check out insurance quotes first - some people have had nasty surprises.

If you do it right and spend the money wisely then yes Nigel's competes in TOTB and is his daily driver.

Welcome to our little friendly, warm community! As much information as you can ingest on here, simply the best owners resource on the net, methinks.

Take time to read through stuff, like the FAQs and the how-to's. And a hint from personal experience this month, if you find you're short of money, don't browse the marketplace too much, parts for sale is a wallet-killer!

Use a specialist if you can, to get it checked out and for general servicing, unless you're handy with the spanners.

And have fun!
