At the moment I hate my coop. Absoloutly hate it to the point where I'm hoping someone will steal and torch it lol.

Within the space of 3 weeks, Its developed a temperature problem which is suspected to be the thermo/temp sensor.
My turbo isnt working. Daren't even speculate whats gone wrong there.
I think my manifold is cracked...again.
Headlight has broken.
Fuel usage is mega high at the moment due to this thermo hiccup.
And to top it off...the locks are always frozen! tongue

After over 2 years of almost faultless running I can't really complain. But at the moment I feel as though all my coop does is break even more each time I use it.
I can't afford a new car, but I was looking at possible replacements just to see whats out there.
And even though I hate the bugger at the moment, I didn't see a single thing Id want to replace it with.

Does anyone else ever feel like this? I can only liken it to a dog which makes a mess on the carpet. All the while you're cleaning up, you wish death upon it. But then you look at its waggy tail and stupid cute face and it makes you love it lol.

Damn you Fiat Coupe.

almost on a weekly basis since i changed from my std 20vt in march to this plus - what can go wrong has gone wrong, and there's still lots of spending to come. problem is, what would you replace them with? i cant find anything for the money, looks or performance for what i could get for mine.

so i'm stuck with her, the biatch... laugh

I have took the think edge of the wedge on with the bee, for better or worse were stuck together!

Truth be told it was taken on in the mind set that things are going to go wrong, and that we have a backup car for when she chucks her toys out the pram.
I had a bad moment with her the other week which resulted in a blessed water bottle and non working piddlers.....but I count my self lucky I have a good fiat coupe specialist to hand laugh

there will be high's and lows with any car, especially a 12 year old fiat that you have formed a deep emotional attachment/financial attachment with....if your honest with your self....if you didnt care about it you wouldn't be upset

Winter is crap, ice, mud, cold.....I'm personally looking forward to a blast up over some driving roads on wales Christmas day, hopefully, sunny crisp clear day, windows down, heater on, and a tank being empty quickly
