At the weekend I laid down a deposit on a boring run of the mill diesel mile muncher with a ton of space. Roof bars on top and 7 (ish seats). 3+ years of ownership and I have finally realised that with my kids getting older I need more space and with my job involving lots of miles (and the price of petrol) I really cant justify the expense of keeping the coupe. Despite it being fanstastic value. It was fun and when I first saw a coupe when I was 25 (and they had just been released) I said to my dad that I would have one. In the end I had three. This forum has been fantastic, its one of THE best sources of car info I have come across. I am sure I will stay around.. so the saving starts properly now, I am not giving up on life, I want a sensible car and a rwd fun car.. 968 vs Elise Vs Caterham 7... just need to get saving. and sell my plus Last edited by sugerbear; 26/04/2010 00:05.

Besides, if you think your MLC is over at forty - wait till you get to my age and discover it's barely begun! Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

I'm in the throes of MLC and can recommend diesel mile muncher/Sei Sporting and a Cerb. Letting a Plus go will be hard though - particularly when you watch it drive off into the distance.
