Mine is when I first saw mine in the flesh (metal).

at first sight.

Every time it starts

Matt Neal accelerating hard around Rockingham Speedway in my first Coupe and remarking "this is more like it" after driving a brand new Civic Type-R for the morning

A rather attractive young lady remarking "phwoar - your car's sexy" as I was about to give her a lift

The look on the face of a Ferrari 360 driver as he failed to pull away, despite him hitting the rev limiter

The noise through Birmingham's Queensway tunnel as I ran it round to the redline with both windows open, and my son and I laughing uncontrollably as several other drivers fell over themselves to get out of the way

Hitting 160mph after just a mile from a standing start at TOTB two years ago.

Hitting 43mpg after a day's motorway cruising

Was that a black Coupe with a zender bumper? the coupe with the most bhp?

Nope - that was me

so what bhp was yours running at?

5 am on a sunday morning, A628 woodhead pass, beautiful july sunrise, no traffic, 314 bhp, not one single problem with the car, windows down, soundtrack to die for, drive of my life

Around 400bhp

The best experience of mine is driving it at the weekend, after I have been using the 1.2 Bravo all week for work.

In comparison the Coupe goes like a rocket.

My best experience would be a toss up between :-

1) My first meet with my 20VT with Sparkyman,H2ypr and Lou .

2) Big Coop Meet 3:Cowboy`s Revenge You had to be there to know how good it was .

Baz

Every time I hear that 20v 5 cylinder howl and the looks I get in her.

OR

When I passed a Porsche Boxster S and the driver's face was brilliant lol!

1,Big Coop Meet 3:Cowboy`s Revenge (unreal)
2,weekend meet at my house,12 coupes

1, Cowboys revenge 3, the hole experience, the people, the coupes, the location, everything was spot on. the weather on the last day was stunning as well
nothing better than meeting up with like minded people that come from all walks of life and having a few beers

2, the drive back from wales a few weeks ago, lovely weather, windows down, 5 pot singing, and a audi TT licking its wonds

3, this is a random one. every time i step out of my coupe when going to see a client, i can cover 100's of miles in a few hours down to London, step out of my car. and feel as fresh and relaxed as a dasiy. it does everything i need, and with no compromises

Dicing with a Lamborghini Miura at Spa-Francorchamps last summer

puuling up at auto-italia with rog and ruben stood next to my car with it all cleaned and polished thinking im gonna buy that

then the very enthusiastic test drive i got taken on by ruben (akeme) got shown the coupes capability's.

1. I met my best mate and a lot more mates through the coupe and the club.

2.The first midlands meet I organised 11 coupes all with aftermarket exhausts the noise was fantastic.

3. The first cosford meet 24? Coupes entered the place in 1big line.

4. This years auto Italia brooklands 50+ coupes and running up the test hill.

The first test drive of a Coupe - was 10 years ago and the look on the car salesman's face as the wheels spun in 3rd on a slightly damp road

When mine first arrived from Germany (sprinty) and the other one we had (nana with body kit) and my mate thinking I had actually bought two for myself (rather than one to keep and one to sell on) - as I couldn't choose the best colour.

Boxing day drive from Derby to London, en route to Channel tunnel it was 8am, cool but a nice winter sunny'ish day and 1h 20 mins later I was walking out of my house in London (needed to go home for my passport). Felt like i had only been on a 10 minute drive to the shops.

Driving from Dusseldorf to Munich - and as we dropped round the bottom of Frankfurt the Porsche GT3 I was chasing had a clear road and left me for dead at around 140+. Then pulling into a garage for fuel and realising that we had done a tank of petrol in just under 2 hours and covered a little over 250 miles.

Driving through any tunnel - drop a gear, 6000+ rpm and windows down - still makes me laugh out loud like a kid on christmas day getting his first bike.

One of them was (when the coop was working) driving round some fantastic bends going up the side of a mountain in Scotland with DanDan infront in the rain as quickly (and safley) as possible!

Cars sounded great! No need to have the radio on!



Ooh yeh and everytime the car starts!

Each time i get in and drive the thing :DI thought i'd be bored of these cars by now but after getting a 20vt the opposite is true, i like them even more!

When I picked mine up from Joe at country a few weeks ago after having the clutch,LE kit etc etc done to her! Wicked lol

When I hit 118mph over a 1/4 mile

Among many others

It's still the first time I picked it up and drove it home.

Though if I ever get molested by three lesbains in it my opinion might change.

Until my Coop I was always a VAG man, I've had Golf GTi's, VR6's a couple of Corrado's and more notably an S4, an RS2, an RS4 and an RS6 as well as a random Mitsi Evo 6 in the middle somewhere!

All of them great cars, but none of them are as special as the Coop, and the Coop gives me a new best moment every single day, and not just for the Coop, but for all my years of driving!

Cheers all.

Epic drive from Anglesey to Magny Cours in 36 degree heat (OK, getting stuck in Paris with faulty A/C was unpleasant) but that road trip was fantastic, and the Coupe behaved impeccably.

I am surprised by that. I'd say Alessandro prefers his RS6 plus to the 20vt Plus he had.

I'm also thinking of binning the coupe for an S4.

Something like 7yrs ago I had just finished uni, was temping in a call cetre type place and shared the car park with staff from a restaurant next door. One of the restaurant staff owned an ink black 20vt and whenever I was working and it was there I would spend ages just dribbling over it, I said to myself when I grow up i'm gonna get one of those

Just over one year later I got a better paid job and bought my first scotts green 20vt

Taking it to the top of 4th, windows down on my favourite road where I grew up.

Finding this site a while after buying my 16VT! Life Saver!

simple - driving round the Spa F1 track

My drive home from Wetherby to Chelmsford after I bought her.... won't ever forget that
