I just reluctantly sold my much loved 20VT and I have mixed emotions to say the least. I'm delighted that it's gone to someone on here as I know it will get all the care and attention it deserves. That said, I feel incredibly sad to have watched it drive off with somebody else behind the wheel
It never once let me down in my 2 years of ownership (straight through MOTs etc) and was without a shadow of a doubt the best car I have ever owned, if not the best I've ever driven. Break squeal aside - I LOVED THAT CAR!!
If my job circumstances change I will be most certainly be looking to purchase another Coupe one day but at the moment I am looking at diesels which is something I never thought I be saying!!
The forum and everyone on it have been great and because of this I've decided to remain a member. Admittedly my lack of any real mechanical knowledge meant that I was never able to offer anything in the way of advice to fellow forum users however I found the wealth of info on offer here to be second to none and experienced absolutely no form of snobbery or rudeness which isn't true of all car forums (at least in my experience).
I did of course end up losing LOADS of money that I had spent on my Coupe (respray etc) but then I always knew that would be the case.
I forgot to catch the user name of the new owner (James) but both him and his girlfriend both seemed like lovely folk so I'm made up that it's going to remain in safe hands.
Thanks again James - I wish you all the best with your car and I hope you are as lucky with it as I was!!
Thank you also to all those who offered me advice and for all the interesting and often humourous posts that I enjoyed reading!
I WILL BE BACK!!
Neil
