End of an era :(

[Djw John]

My wife has owned this coupe for 5 years and 11 months, by far and away the longest we've ever owned a car. I've been running it as my daily for most of the last 18 months and as sad as it is we're both going to miss it! Still at least its only going to my brother so I'm sure I'll drive it again!


6 years ago

The first (and only) car I've ever PC polished

and how its been looking for the last wee while fulfilling daily duties on country roads

So it seemed right to give it a quick clean and hoover for my brother, 11 years old, nearly 74k and a massive dent that I added to it

Awesome thing! Battle-scared!

Why is going now?

Remember that from the coupe-club days.

It is a bit Kev, picked up a massive stone chip that actually caused a dent on the bonnet a couple of weeks ago too.

Its going l, basically, because we're skint. If we were properly sensible we'd sell the 225 but life's too short for that. We also don't do he miles to justify it these days, it's only done 4k in the last 5 months since I put it back on the road.

Do you matt? We got it not long after I got my silver one, dunno how many cars I've had since then!

Nice, I remember back in 2001 my dad nearly buying one of these but was told he couldn't as my mum couldn't see out the back for the spoiler. Although looking at the pictures I can't see a problem.

She probably has a point but you get used to it pretty quickly. Apart from when you reverse it into brick posts in York. For example.

Nice done you well at 4k for 6 years then. 4K in 5 months isn't that bad though.

Decent cars! Sarah (Sez) still wishes she never sold the silver one she bought off you. She LOVED that car!

Time for a Chip style multi quote!

Aye that one was a good one, when did she finally sell it?

The only time this has ever left us stuck was when a 2 week old wheel bearing failed!

Heap of s**te.

At least its not poverty spec

Reminds me of mine and coupe-club

Coupe club was good, that was my second most used forum back then, shame it all went to pot.
