LOL - your swear filter is even harsher than ours

Russ - yes, the 355 was mine for a couple of years. Sold it to buy the business I now own. Floodie - Coupe owners tend to be realists - we know that its an unusual car that tends to polarise opinion. I have no problem defending my choice - I've done it many times. I'm old enough to take...

haven't really found anything that's willing to have a go If I check out my proven stats against the published performance of today's supercars, you would need to be spending nearly £100k to beat my Coupe. Currently, I'm running a very slightly better power to weight ratio than a new 911...

Coupes are inherently reliable, as long as the maintenance is right (same as any performance car really). The vast majority of engine failures have been down to one of two things - lack of oil (they can use a litre per thousand miles) or too much boost. Build quality is pretty good (for an...

thats a neat bit of photoshopping there Not sure - it certainly looks different - you've increased the wheel size a bit and added some deep-dish effect on the rears It looks a bit Supra-esque at the rear. Not really to my liking - I love the slash effect - adds a bit of character to otherwise...

and just in case there are still disbelievers

Cookie - 20VT Coupes have Viscodrive as standard - a kind of LSD. I have no traction problems in the dry after 1st gear. The wet is a slightly different story though - will light up the fronts on demand in the first three gears, but still surprisingly capable after that. Traction control helps...

My Coupe is still quicker though - AND it does 30,000 miles a year AND it can do over 30mpg (when I try) AND it only costs a couple of hundred quid to service AND I can park it up and not worry about it being damaged. Anyway - the reason I showed my face on here - what's the spec on this Clio...

I would never do 50 in a 30 - I'm pretty choosy about where I travel fast. Been driving for nearly thrity years so I have a few miles under my belt. As for the "I know which car I'd rather be driving" - damn right - Ferrari every time. There's not a day goes by when I don't look longingly at...

also a vid of me at TOTB - http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v117/Cyclone04/TOTB%20V/?action=view&current=NVECapture.flv

in answer to your questions 20VT runs a T28 as standard There are two ways to get a 20VT to 300bhp. Quickly or reliably. a simple chip (we have our own chip guru) will get to 250 bhp - £35 Boost hike (1.2 bar) and filter will give another 20bhp. After this, you need to be careful with...

Yes - that was the Clio - cracking little car (must be a handful in the wet though) Some stats for you My Coupe runs 405bhp and 340 ft-lb Fully kitted it does 0-60 in about 5.3 and 0-100 in 10.5. Best standing quarter to date is a 13.0 @ 117mph (on road tyres at full pressure) Top end is...

Hi all - I'm from the Fiat Coupe forum (www.fccuk.org/forum) - just thought I'd show my face over here and ask about a black Clio turbo that I came across on Saturday evening on the A46 near Coventry on the way home from the F1 qualifying on Saturday. I had already had some sport with a 225TT...
