Mine is off the road with a snapped throttle cable.

It's really brought home to me how much I love it. Can't wait to get back in it again!

Cleaned the wheels, cleaned the car (with the aid of my jetwash & foam lance Mr. Peanut) and it looks stunning. Well it did until a bird sh@ all over it. frown

Sam, if your speakers are the original, pull it out and ensure that the tag block on the back where the wires connect is still attached. If it's not, it dangles and the bare wires short against the earthed metal.

Shortly after that your radio catches fire - well, mine did!

So happy with mine.
It was cheap, compared to my previous car (Porsche)
Its VERY fast (almost as fast as my last car!) and yes its modified.
Its more reliable.
The (planned) maintenance has been reasonable (so far).
The depreciation is not a worry.
I'm still on the same front tyres even though I drive it hard.
It looks great and I love the interior (beige leather!)
I've had lots of complements.
It sounds great,
It corners great (once you get the confidence to use the viscodrive)
I love it.

I'm very happy with my coupe!!

Had it in storage over the colder months from November '08 till last week.

Gave it a charge of the battery, a nice oil change and checked the fluids and Zero problems since.
Ran it all last week around 650miles and Realised how much I really missed it.

Love my coupe, even treated her to a new Radio!

MOT next week so fingers crossed it'll do fine (clutch wood)
