The Coupe is a masterpiece! I really like PH- i've been on there a number of years, but it's getting to the point where I can't be bothered with posting anymore. I'm half conscidering taking the PH sticker off my car- as I do get embarrased by the idiots that are seemingly increasing in numbers- unfortunatly it's the clueless idiots that give PH all the bad press... Having said that, I go to most of the local meets (where most of the clueless idiots steer clear of) & I've enjoyed those the most over any other specific car meets. The people that actually attend are really nice & a great laugh- it's just a shame most people only read the General Gassing forum & get put off.

tony16vt Unregistered T	to be honest the comment about the £1000 cambelt was sort of true as i have a bill from an old cambelt change from fiat for £1600 which included a service, lol. I am booked in next wednesday for a new cambelt and clutch with roger. £800 not bad.

Don't get me wrong - the shed of the week idea does throw up some excellent choices for interesting classics for shed money. Generally i do like Pistonheads articles and classifieds are excellent. Chewy you are right, there are some thick heads who just ruin the whole thing with rediculous ill-informed opinions and "german" blinkered notions for italian (and other) motors. The coupe SOTW is holding the flag High for the Coupe Mark!!
