New (Old) Coupe Owner

#1

Post by olirose1994 »

Hey, guys.

I've joined this forum after noticing that the old forum I use no longer has any new posts - so, here I am! I own a 2006/55 SE Coupe - and it's my pride and joy. There's a bit of a back-story, though...

I bought the Coupe originally back in June 2014, and drove it for two years. After doing over 40,000 miles at 28 mpg, I realised that I'd run out of money to be able to run it - and so I switched to driving a few other cars (Ford KA to a Peugeot 306 D-Turbo that got written-off by a lorry, and then a Corsa C that I still run as a daily). After being without my Coupe for six months, however, I was starting to miss it.
I was driving through Stoke-on-Trent with my girlfriend about a month ago, and saw a silver Coupe in my periphery - and immediately turned-around to see if it was mine - and, indeed, it was! I then went onto Gumtree just on the off-chance that the guy would be selling it - and he was. Basically, I re-bought my Coupe, and now I'm looking at keeping it off the road whilst I restore it (it's been dinked a few times and the engine needs some serious work - including a whole new auto box, sigh!), and I'm hoping that, by this time next year, I'll be able to drive it as a daily once again.
I'll be posting my updates here as and when I do them - but don't expect it to be soon, as I'm pretty skint and have a few family members to pay back for buying the car first! I'm thoroughly looking forward to once again get involved with the Coupe community!
