any updates? I missed it too but looking forward to seeing an online vid???

Oops! Yeah apparently it was a different show

as a coupe hopeful I'd be really interested in this too...

I've used 'SC Video Cut and Split' before to do this kind of stuff, mainly as it's free.

How big is the video file? You could upload it to somewhere like rapidshare.com and then I could grab it, do the editing and upload it myself to youtube etc.

Edited highlights of the last series are being cobbled together for two programmes - the first was broadcast on ITV4 tonight (6:00 - 7:00) & included a couple of clips of the Coupe programme. Introduced the buyer, the car & showed the test drive in an edit.

I think this episode is being repeated this Saturday - 1:30 p.m. & 6:45 p.m. - according to my TV guide that is.

Has the buyer still got the car then? Any further comments a few months on from him i.e. do you still love it or have you spent a king's ransom on it yet!?

I still have the car and even managed to get four people and camping gear to glasto and back! I'm still unsure how that actualy worked??!

My wallet has taken a mild battering with Mr Morgan and Mr Stanley not returning my calls anymore but still love the car so all is forgiven.

It passed it's MOT about a month ago with no problems so I was very happy as I was expecting at least something to need doing.

I've added a small clip (filmed from my laptop by my phone so needless to say its more than a bit ropey!) onto the facebook group for fccuk.

Glad to read that you're sticking with the car - it was VERY cheap - a real bargain for you, so a little spends is probably acceptable. I know I had some agony with mine after I bought it (clutch gone, blown turbo, new manifold i.e the usual), but things calm down eventually & the feeling you get when it sails through the MOT is the best!

i missed this previuosly - was on itv4 today. managed to V+ it. A very pleasant surprise.

If anyone is desperate for it may be able to transfer to my pc and upload some where.

Hope the top gear outing is better though :-)

Thanks

Dan

Missed this again!

Mind you if it was the programme covering....

"Jason Dawe and Penny Mallory help a buyer hunting for a sports car on a budget. Plus, a look at the Datsun 240Z and a Morris Minor fitted with a turbocharged engine"

then its repeated this Saturday, ITV4 at 4:10pm.

Can you confirm?

Thanks

I fast forward through most of it but no sign of a datsun or a morris minor. my guess is its a different episode.

Will get my techy hat on and see if i can get it across to my PC

:-)

slightly trickier than i thought - it was too long for you tube but google video accepted it. :-)

I have cut the non coupe stuff out so its now just over 11 mins:

A really good watch. Thanks for uploading it Carphone!

Dude, that is MARVELLOUS. Good work there carphone. I kept missing the episode. I haven't watched it yet but will do tonight!!

i loved the part when she says "pull your hand brake on and spin it round"...rofl web of lies

Many thanks Dan.

Cheers, Dan - good to see this clip again.

This is the show that convinced me - not the garbage from the presenters but the way that engine note grabs your attention and how poised the car looked on the road... and the cheesy grin Rich had on his face (by the way, good choice mate)...

Have been grinning myself for about 10 months now...

Thanks for the clip. Makes me fall in love with the Coupe all over again, best car I have ever owned. Will get another if mine ever goes.

Is it me or is the presenter a complete prick? Now if Top Gear could only have some realism............

anyone see the red light on the dash might just be topup brake fluid our airbag

Thanks - good watch

Ha great stuff. Pity he didn't take it up against the bummer.

Just like my first test drive - been driving it a couple of minutes and already have a smile on your face. For me it was the moment I drove off the forecourt. Ah I remember it well.

Funny when he put his foot down as well, and clearly scared himself.

right now on chn 120
the bloke featured has 3k and is looking for a fiat coupe, adverts are on now so im expecting a coupe to be on after the break.

yeah seen that one. think the guy is a member on here.

Coupe Trooper

He test drove a sprint blue 20vt and a silver Celica.

'I've only been in the Coupé for two minutes and I love it!'

He liked the performance, ride and handling of both cars but chose the Coupé because of better Italian design,especially interior, and that turbo kick and sound

yeah thats the one, how long ago was that 1st shown then? did'nt seem that old, the other two cars had no hope after he drove the coupe

See here.... Clicky

Buyer looking for 3k 'sporty car'
