HI people
Hi guys i'm a new coupe owner (Well sorta) I have put down my deposit and am waiting on the dealer putting on an MOT and fixing any issues for free should it fail, which from my inspection looks like it shouldn't. Anyway its a red Gen3 1.6 born on the 30-04-2003 and its beautiful. This is my first car and was incredibly surprized I would even afford to own it. Needless to say in iv been doing my research since October last year and eventually can now put it to the test. I live in Cumbria so I have to travel all the way to Stanley in county Durham to pick it up when its all ready and legal. Anyway guys, formalities out of the way, seems like i'm gonna have one hell of a time here see you at the next meet if there is one in the north

Re: HI people
Hardknot! What a road!
It is an exceptional part of the country. Went for a bracing swim in Wasdale not long ago, too. The roads around there are pretty.

There's a meet near Manchester / rochdale Sunday 1st Feb if you're interested in the travel, it's turning out to be a fairly decent sized one.
