    Well let's see shall we......

    Top 3 Coupes for power could be Tom, Habib and Doug in the UK all well over 500BHP, with some 600BHP plus stuff in those mental Nordic regions

    Top 3 Hearses could be Jamo (Oh no, his was actually about the same as a 1.1 Fiesta ), errr help me out here...oh BRY, he has a homefried hearse, oh and Ross, who plans to chuck his Coupe engine into his new hearse. Let's face it boys and girls, a fast hearse just scares the punters so it's pointless.

    All serious sports car manufacturers make Coupes. Granted, several have tried Avants (Lotus, Lambo, Ferrari, Aston....all hideous machines and they all, and I mean ALL got laughed at. The acception here is of course Audi with the rather nice RS2, which we know was planned as a Coupe (I love that fact, shall we say it again...The RS2 was planned as a Coupe...yup, still love it) but they only did the Avant because Porsche were running scared.

    So, the slipper brigade have taken to arms have they David....well, hold on whilst I get out my Hong Kong book of Lung Fu and read up how to protect myself from flying slippers and pipes ....Yup, is says kick their walking sticks away, shout in their hearing aids and then if they are still standing, switch off their pace-makers.

    Cheers n tears (of laughter)

      I have to agree we have drifted slightly off topic but it is only fair to let new owners understand which side of the battle line they are standing.

      As Winston Churchill once said:

      Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous faces have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo oweners and all the odious apparatus of Coupe rule, we shall not flag or fail.

      We shall go on to the end, we shall fight at the 'ring, we shall fight on the a-roads and motorways, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength on the track, we shall defend our honour, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the quarter miles, we shall fight on the landing strips, we shall fight on the rolling roads and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our brothers beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Avant Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.


      Bring it on coupe kids we're reading and waiting....

        Fabulous and moving speech there Ben

        I am sure that you will have strengthened the resolve of the undertaker, sorry, I mean underdog Avant owner, to the point where they may actually believe that they are stronger.

        But let me remind you, that as Darth Vader once famously pointed out "Don't be too proud of this technological hearse you've constructed. The ability to carry passengers is insignificant next to the power of the Coupe."

        I think there you will see that Darth implies that an S2 Avant is pointless and you all may as well drive 80 Avant TDi's

        Cheers n

          Being of the 'people carrier' hearse persuasion (URs4) I recon it breaks down as follows:-

          UR = 2 door coupe. Seperate Boot. As it should be.

          Avant = Understated weapon. Practical AND dangerous.:mischeif:

          'Coupe' = 3 door hatchback; you know, a bit like those saxo/fiesta shopping-mobiles, only with more room for loo rolls!!!!

          Each to their own.

                You're forgetting that my Avant has never been beaten by an S2 coupe yet. So it's only fair that you put me into that Top 3 list. :mischeif:

                  I may suspect that the s2 "hatchbacks" ( ) maybe eating some extra "boot space" on the 'ring this september :mischeif:

                    Too bad they're too small to pack 4 semislicks plus rims easily

                    Regarding Breitlings driving style, could you elaborate ?
