But the thing that I love the most is the windscreen washers, who ever though of sticking the jets where they are required, by the windscreen wipers, deserves an a Knighthood. Even if they were Italian. What features do you love on your coupe ? Last edited by sugerbear; 11/01/2007 03:57. How to make a startrek widget cable >> http://tinyurl.com/dyje6fy

Was it Chris Bangle's wife, girlfriend or mistress he modelled them on? Whatever look great, smooth and of course a little cheeky!!

Anonymous Unregistered A	Slight cop-out, but the "whole package" for a car that only cost around £26k new! Nothing else at the time looked like it and even now it is totally unique.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I hate to say it but leaving aside obvious ones like aesthetics and performance, in terms of neat design touches that shows they've actually thought about what they were making, I can't think of one single example. The list of little (and big) things that bug me on this car is pretty long Good thing it's so bloody quick and sounds great then

Is it just me that has to slow down to sub 20 to get the water onto the bottom of the windows? These things drive me up the wall. Why not have one at the bottom of the window and one nearer the top? My favourite feature is the noise of the engine The best design feature is prob the coloured dash F**** b**** thing...
