I've not owned a car for many years, happy to run around in my van whenever I needed to go anywhere.
But I've had an itch to buy a high days and holidays car, something I liked years ago when I was more interested in 4 wheels.
It's a Fiat Coupe, officially known as a Coupe Fiat.
Quite unusual, very pretty, quick with its 2 litre, turbo 5 cylinder motor, 0-60 6'ish seconds and 155 mph top end.
All original, nearly 20 years old, and an absolute hoot to drive. I love it

Warning : running one of these over 120mph for 20 miles can cause a spark plug to blow out. Allegedly.  |

Not much chance of 120mph for 20 miles on our busy roads, so that shouldn't be a problem.....

Or the Coolant Hose Of Death.
Or the sudden drop in oil pressure.
Or the aux belts taking out the cambelt and destroying the motor.
Or........
