thank god, moved house a couple of days before the coupe got sold on ebay and i've only just been able to get back on line with any sort of speed, using my mobile phone as a usb modem im getting 400K broadband, the line at the house will only support 512k anyway!!

anyway the coupe went for £6100 in the end which i'm fairly happy with but i had loads of questions about it and 80+ people watching too, maybe the budget put people off as it finished the day before it and there was talk about huge tax etc on gas guzzlers, who knows?

still no civic type-r yet, 15th may(ish) but i've bought my wife a peugeot 307 convertable with the proceeds from the coupe which i've had into sq+ to have the nav, dvd fitted etc and we got it back today.

i've got a load of bits for the coupe going on ebay once i get properly on line with a wireless router etc including a pair of gen 3.5 rear lights, 1 x gen 3.5 front light (uk spec), unused/unfitted reversing sensors sprayed hyundai silver, the silver fibreglass bass box and basically all the ice from the car, alpine h/u, cd changer, nav, 2 x rockford amps as well as the amps and sub out of the citroen c2 (all rockford fosgate again!)

and yes i do miss the coupe, i almost shead a tear as it went round the corner for the last time and out of site, then i heard it powering along the main road!!

the lad who bought it is made up with it and its not gone too far from me, newton le willows, so i may see it about, i left the ukhcc stickers on it!!

Welcome back mate , i bet your little heart was fluttering when there where no bid's with minutes to go on ebay , well glad you got what you wanted for your motor , i have heard a rumour on here you are having a house warming party for all the guy's on here at your new house and that your paying for all the , if so i think it will be one of the biggest meets ever

well done matey. Bet you can't wait for proper internet. I know the feeling about a tearful eye when you see your baby go.

classic line Macker, only coz you are down the road. Having said that, I could always stay at the family house in Gateacre, Liverpool if there is a party.

Gateacre, thats a 5 min drive from our house where we go shopping

i'll definitely give you a shout next time i'm up there. Will have to make one more trip up there in my Bertha (my coupe) before she goes.

Hiya Jim....thought you'd nodded off.
