Phils Pewter Coupe R511

Post by Nuts4my827 » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:54 am

So, I let slip a little clue.

I have taken over the care of R511BRW the Pewter Coupe vitesse that used to belong to Breitling, and before that Kyle.

I couldn't turn it down. It's very nice, the Fiancee loves it. (Had permission to buy it.) It reminds her of my Coupe still undergoing work.

Neil needed a motorway diesel mile muncher.
I am still using the Green Saloon lent to me while I have a tinker with the radio, speakers and carpets in it.
Actually going to really miss the auto saloon when I return it.
Serena suggested we both turn up at our wedding in different Coupe's.
I am a happy man.

Hey, you forgot an owner :wink:

She is a very nice car, I missed it almost as soon as I sold it however I needed a more economical car.

If it's still there I apologise for the scuff on the rear bumper.......that was my other half misjudging the wall outside our house whilst parking, other then they she's pretty immaculate.

I'm glad it's gone to a good home!

Haha! Kinda wish it was the green auto loan car, so we could drive off holding hands..

If anyone does decorate a car, not shaving foam as it eats paint......

Have the problems with it been resolved? I remember Breitling had stalling problems and said he thought the valve stem seals may have been worn?
