First time Gen 3 Coupe Owner in Norfolk

#1

Post by EngineerMike »

Hi all,

Been moseying around various Hyundai Coupe forums and from what I have seen, I will fit in best here (I hope, prepare for a novel).

My names Mike, and I'm an engineer, king of creative names huh? I am in Norfolk, and picked up a blue gen 3 about a month ago, I managed to find one with under 40k on the clock, and haven't really decided on the direction I'm going with it yet, I have bought it primarily as a sensible project car I can make my own and use as a daily driver.

Like the name suggests I am an engineer, Civil/structural specifically, working near Norwich designing steel framed buildings, but, I tinker with CNC milling in my spare time so have some knowledge of that and limited access to CNC mills.

Just went out re-bought all required to detail the car, so if the weather holds out I'll be doing that over this weekend, and should hopefully have some pics up of the makeover, including fixing some of the questionable paint repairs done by the previous owner, and then the modification can begin. Performance/exterior modifications are very limited currently due to insuring with a company with strict modification rules, but I think overhauling the interior this year, and fitting the entertainment system with sufficiently drain my wallet. It should also give you guys and gals a chance to convince me my favourite bodykits are ghastly and obscene, before I fit them. Don't say I didn't warn you, I have no sense of style or taste, just putting it out there.

On one last note, unknown reg gen 3 Coupe spotted parked up at the owners house in Kenninghall, and on the market square in East Harling, separate Gen 3 spotted heading east bound along the A11 quote often at Attleborough/Wymondham turnings on my drive to work in the mornings around 8-8:30, just thought i'd put it out there incase that is one of you guys :)

Mike

I'll keep my eye out for you mate.

Just on a side note, is it just me or are a large percentage of drivers in Norfolk appalling? I travel 20 miles down the A11 every day and it's a rare day when at least someone doesn't pull into the outside lane doing 55mph as you are about to pass them, or similar idiotic stuff.... Rage over.

Hello Mike :greetings-waveyellow:
I spend a lot of time in Norfolk and I agree there are some truly awful drivers.... A11, A47, any national speed limit road and you can guarantee there will be a numpty doing 40mph on it at some point in the journey. :icon-biggrin:
