Hello all

Post by CharlieRampant »

I'm a Brit currently living abroad in the Middle East, hopefully to return home soon, bringing my strange left hand drive Gen1 with me.

I have never been big on forums, so please forgive any faux pars of etiquette etc.

Now on to my fourth Gen 1 coupe, all manual, all 2.0ltr. I bought my first coupe in 2003 straight out of college and abused it in every way imaginable learning some interesting Do's and DONT's along the way.

Since destroying the first one I've always gone back buying wrecks and rebuilding them with parts from the original so at some level its still the same car, on another its the 4th.
So 13 years later and I'm still driving a coupe.

I've raced them, I've rallied them, I've crashed and rebuilt them, now I take my kids to school in one.

Hello and :text-welcomewave: to the forum

Your coupe sound's like the road sweeper who has the same broom but its had five new heads and three new handles but its still the same brush :laughing-rollingyellow: :laughing-rollingyellow:

Great to see someone so dedicated to the coupe :handgestures-thumbupleft:
