Yes its true.

I'm addicted. Even now, sitting at my work, thinking about all the things I need to pay for before I head off on holiday, I can't stop thinking about getting another coupe.

I shouldn't want one. Not at all. It just doesn't make sense. I need a car for window cleaning. Do I want to clean windows in a coupe? (Although overtaking someone with a set of ladders strapped to the roof, would be hilarious).

Also, its the insurance, the tax, the fuel and the running costs. But I can't help coming on here and looking at pics of coupes. I even resigned as a mod to try and reduce my reasons for coming on here and yet here I still am.

Someone please set me straight!!!

Ross

we cant Ross, its a completely irrational feeling. It makes no sense for me to have one at all, none. But the joy I feel for having it sat out there, poised and ready for some welsh road driving when the sun comes out, the sound track it delivers, the looks it generates, the feelings it develops when performing a full chat overtake.

This is not helping, I'm aware of that, but after having 4 coupes now, and always coming back I have resigned my self to this irrational want/need

At the end of the day, it all to short to sit around not getting what you know you can have.
You could slip off a ladder tomorrow and snap your spine in two....you never know what life is going to deliver you, live for now, not for tomorrow.

As they say, The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry

Go on Ross, you know you want another yellow peril laugh

As you're no longer a mod, you are now allowed to have a coupe again laugh


It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living

The only reason I returned was the stupidly low prices that you can get a well sorted 20VT for now smile if, like 2004 a 20VT today would still cost you £5.5K+ the thought of getting another one would have never even entered my head unfortunatly.

Erm, I don't know actually.

Part of me thinks I wouldn't as I don't wanna go down that route again.

Another part of me wishes I had finished what I started and done it properly. I'd love to compete at TOTB for instance.
