  • First time starter

    well started the coupe tonight fist time since November
    first turn of the key sweet as a nut ... Can't think of many other cars that would do that
    I know some of you every day users will tale the Mick but what with work and snow never had a chance

    drove for 20 miles .... I missed it
    I forgot the looks you get I thought some of the other drivers were going to get whiplash
    looking forward to doing a few miles at the weekend

    Love all these Coupes coming out of hibernation. I've loved using mine right through the winter and starting her after clearing 6 inches of snow off her was strangly satisfying.
    Love it hate it Marmite exterior, Jaffa cake interior... Perfect

        Can't say the same I'm afraid. Started mine this week after about seven weeks of no use at all. It had a flat enough battery not to even turn the starter motor :( A pair of jump leads and an Alfa Romeo later and she was firing on all 6 :)

        I used the car for the next 2 days with no problems, so let's hope it was a one off.

          Must be a day for it then as I fired out my Coupe today for the first time since god knows when (think it was July last year actually!) Did charge the battery up last night but sprang into life as if it was parked up the day before... just lovely :)

          Driving it home today though I realised just how low the thing is... I'm looking UP at everyone after 18 months of driving a Forester and looking down!
