Most coops owned - 08/11/2017 13:21
Can't recall if we've had a similar thread in the past, but by the now the number of most coops owned must have gone up!
Prompted by a post less than a hour ago (you know who you are
) I could think of 3 folk who might be in the running
patch234
samsite999
starvin2047
So to be clear only people who were on the V5 would qualify.....
I think chrissy holds the record for the most Coupés owned, pretty sure he's 20+

Only 2 here, both 20vt's.
Never intended to buy another after all the ups and downs of the first one, but seeing the prices at rock bottom a few years ago tempted me back.

Re: Most coops owned - 08/11/2017 21:06
I’ve had one, the same one I bought in 2007.
Reading this thread I feel like I’ve missed out on the spice of Coupe life!

Only the one for fifteen years this month.
Though I did rent three through BudgetCar before that - coupe as a hire car, what were they thinking?

Re: Most coops owned - 09/11/2017 12:49
I think we need to know the most Coupes owned in total, and most owned at any one time?
For me it's just two, but I've been around a long time...

I still own the blue plus. I bought it 2 years ago put it in the garage and I haven't looked at it since (under a cover)
Maybe I need to get it out next year and get it running or flog it.

After listening to an interview from a proponent of the Flat Earth Society on R5L I'm reviewing anything!

Oddly enough, it's not *that* difficult to plan an orbit around a flat planet. Those satnav satellites don't prove a thing.

Chrissy would feature very high up on this list too.

Not me or my dog. Chris we need pics.

I had all 4 of mine for a very short time indeed. Very short - was better than the divorce that would have ensued!!!

Re: Most coops owned - 08/01/2019 09:07
Not including Coupes I've bought purely to sell on (ie I was never on the logbook), I've only had four:
Dark Metallic red 20VT
Sprint Blue 20VT
Moon Grey 20VT Plus
Broom Yellow 16v
If we include Coupes I've bought, done some work, then sold on, it probably increases to 10 or 12 (some of them done jointly with Paul at Motormech)
Posted By: LuisFilipe
Re: Most coops owned - 09/01/2019 12:57
I have bought 2, that i still have:
12/1997 20VT with 120.000kms
08/2000 20VT Plus with 57500 kms
The 20VT it´s my daily drive for 12 years, that works like a swiss watch. The only time it didnt work, it was because of a dead battery.
