Never Selling - 01/01/2015 17:18
With numerous vehicles in the family I keep having doubts about whether I have over-done it and should sell one. Basically I have two "enthusiast cars" plus a necessary work-a-day car (diesel for economy, 4 doors for oldies and grandchildren, ground clearance for driving into fields at metal detecting digs etc.).
I have had my 20VT for 13 years and have modded it to my perfection and the new stable companion is a GTV Cup which I still need to spend a considerable sum on (suspension, clutch, Quaife). They are both so different and intoxicating in their own ways, I feel it is an impossible choice (to let either go) so I am effectively locked into these cars for ever.
As a car enthusiast I read Evo reach month, but I am becoming more and more dismayed with the way new cars are going with "tech everything" and more convinced that the Coupe and Cup are from the "Goldilocks period" of motoring and thus both are keepers.
Certainly I almost never see a Coupe our GTV in my 20k miles per year so they must be getting rare, especially good ones. The Coupe today looked stunning and drove sweet and then I put the boost to 1.45 bar and oh boy
There simply is no "choice" to make, the die is cast... long live the Coupe
Somewhat of a self-indulgent post, but the Forum is getting quieter, so feeling the love I thought I'd share it
Happy New Year to all.
