Does anyone know how this ended?

What happened to Irishandy - Liam Yetka and more importantly the car?

I have had a read through this post again and wondered how it all ended?

What happened to the court case?

What happened to the dangerous car?

Where did Irish Andy go?

Do any of the belfast lads know?

Just curious?

Should the last line of your post not have been:

'Tune in next week to find out!'

I may be wrong, but I think Irish Andy sold the car!

Yeah he flogged the car off to someone else. A forum user "Clark10" almost bought it from Andy but came onto the forum and found out about its dodgy past - a close call for him!

I get an "access denied" error when I try and access the thread where this was all discussed

Liam Yetka is still around, drove past there the other day and also wondered how it all ended

Well guys, I think I know...

I'm driving it. Andy sold it to me without disclosing any of the back story - I only found out about it shortly after buying it from him and hit the [censored] roof!!! (Although to be fair, the V5 clearly shows that the car is 'Accident damaged and/or substantially repaired; identity checked 21/02/06)

Suffice to say, I got on to him immediately and got 1/3 of my money back after very nearly taking him to the small claims court. I must say that his cavalier attitude and lack of honesty made me quite cross as it flew in the face of his intentions as outlined in the original thread.

I think that Liam gave him a substantial sum of money back and Andy sailed on into the sunset. He said he only sold the car because he 'owed the taxman'... hmmmmmm.

I never saw the photos of the written-off damaged car: by all accounts it was a horror story, but I tell you what...

I've had this car for nearly 2 years, I've put it through 2 very thorough MOT tests at govt. run facilities (the only ones available in Northern Ireland), it's been gone over by at least 3 mechanics who I would trust implicity. They all spotted straight away the fact that the car had been pranged and repaired, but could find no fault with any of it. It has passed its MOT without any issues both times, and I've driven it over some very rough/lumpy country roads (I now live in a very rural area) without mishap. It doesn't go round in circles only (I enjoyed this comment from the original thread) and even outperforms my partner's 2.0l Celica (now departed). The thing would appear to be 100% rock-solid and reliable - I use it daily...

I'm a bit sheepish about this car's past and the vehemence with which it was castigated, but I've driven worse...

Now, if someone could post the original wreck pics, I would be most interested, because someone spent time and money to get this back to spec about 6 years ago - as far as I can tell it was written off with about 26k on the clock - it's now on 64k and still going strong.

Now chaps, be gentle with me...

hi and a big welcome, been following this thread close, id be very intrested to see the pics too, just out of curiosity as there been some strong opinions and now the owner has surfaced

welome to fccuk mate. Fair play for answering this thread, must have taken a bit of bottle. Hope your experience of Coupe ownership only gets better, we're not all a bad bunch!

carlt posted photos of the car originally in this thread: http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=417721

But unfortunately the links don't work anymore. Maybe you could send him a PM and ask whether he still has the pics?
