Im back in the fold!

Im now driving a Blue 20vt with a newfound love and respect for the car.
Having joined the dark side of Jap for 2/3 years i can safely tell all of you thinking of leaving not to...

...Buy a second car or something so you appreciate the coupe, it really is good.

The Celica i owned, whilst fast and posessing VERY good handling characteristics required nothing but TLC. Literally constant. With brake discs alone weighing in at £500/600 for four running an older fast Japanese car is not a cheap hobby.

Either way im pleased to say my coupe is great, and now my fun car that i can fit my daughters car seat and pram in with ease should the weather make me want to enjoy the lovely sound of a 5 pot. And it will.

FFS, another coupe in the carpark, that makes 4 !

It's not another purple rinse is it Phil, tell me it's not, they make me feel sick every time I see them, you need to be an O.A.P-dophile to drive one in that colour.

Surely we'd all be waiting to welcome the one who sounds almost as if he'd have his own dog show?
