I disagree...be stuck driving a Fiat Seicento like i am at the moment...and only THEN will you appreciate just how fccukin marvellous the coupe is.

I like the sci more than my coupe at the moment

swap swap swap....but only if u pay the insurance

no dice

Not terribly, no.
Having said that, I did use it to move house (flat) recently, so not all bad
Took quite a few trips, mind.

The more trips the better in an Atom!!

Lamp..... blast to new house & back
Lamp shade..... blast to new house & back
other lamp..... blast to new house & back
other lamp shade..... blast to new house & back
repeat until it rains!!!

Exactly what i'm doing but in a Punto Mk1 60 horse beast
Oh the Coupe never felt so good on a dry Saturday morning!!

Or a xsara Picasso automatic. Its like watching paint dry on the motorway!

This is bang on. However, when they then cost you despite the above it still makes you wince.

I like that thought...



Are you sure it was not seeing me again?

I think there could be a few factors in this, perhaps your love is just altering? No doubt because of the atom in my opinion. The Coupe is taking its place as a classic car now. It does not provide you with the thrills it once did because of the atom. But the same is true of the any classic, your relationship is just altering as time goes on.

I do think perhaps the economic situation and few other things may be playing a factor?

dammit!!! worth a go...but but but Freddys now valeted to an acceptable standard including under bonnet...now has a 2000watt stereo system...still no swap???

Good advice that.

I can see where you're coming from, Nick, sure. I've had the Atom almost as long as I've had the Coop though. I've never once compared it to the Atom.

Economics-wise, well, not really playing on my mind "that" much. Neither of my cars really depreciates much/ if at all; I don't need the money from a sale of the Coop. As I said though, having 3 cars on the road is just a bit silly.

I love the Coop for it's styling/ individuality/ uniqueness - not for it's performance, sure, but I love both cars - albeit in differing ways.

I'm gonna call a couple of people, see if they want to run it for me.

Look, it's a long term relationship. Other cars will turn your head and you'll think "Why Am I doing this?" and there is no answer. Think of it this way:

You're married to the coop. You're tempted but you don't stray because if you do, you can't live with yourself in the wee small hours of the morning. It's a test and you're going to pass!!

Good analogy, Alan, like it...

hedge,

You'll have to pop up one saturday in the atom, i need to feel it.

No probs, Rog. I'll be over as soon as the newbie shows up.
