SO after 13 hours on the road, we made it hoke safely.

Love the car, has a few hopefully minor issues, Injector light coming on for around for 10 mins, a small splutter and the dreaded brake squeal. Other than that its all good!

With a little work - she will be all good!

I'm so thrilled I managed to find one that appears decent. After a relatively faultless 6 hour drive home - it must be reasonable, right? smile however I had ALOT of coupe paranoia the whole journey.

New pics to follow!

Congrats thumb

I can imagine the Coupe paranoia you must have had on the way home.
Glad you made it and hope it turns out well for your "new" Coop.
Where did you get it?

Brave stuff 6 hour drive in an unknown coupe! At least you got the chance to give her a proper drive before having to discover faults outside petrol stations, takeaway shops and supermarket carparks!

Down to the original fiat stereo! Yay!

However - I have to add if it wasn't for the other half and his focus ST-3, I wouldn't own this coupe! (I was blackmailed to say that!)
