Hey we meet again Louise..... Well lets say the pics of a coupe towing a coupe took quite a few detours from the 15 minute ride home that should have been a direct route much to the dismay of our three boys who were in the back squished and whiney lol....

We ended up taking about 2 hours to get home - never trust a mans short cut lol...

Had to show Priscilla the sites lol....

what, your never impressed if you see a girl driving a muscle car? coupe or not?
I love the fact that my other half likes driving muscle cars, i dont have to try and beg to go to shows, she is interesed in the same stuff as me and it blows me away and makes me proud when she corrects some know-it-all at a show about a technical detail about my car.
Of course there is a down side, she wanted her own "muscle car" for daily driving....

come on guys and gals, lets go back to being civil

i personally think it wasn't a smart post, simply because we have at least 4 ladies on here with coupes, but we are all allowed an opinion or mistake. hopefully the opinions will be kept to heathers coupe from now on

Is nothing wrong with woman driving musclecars, my sister owns an mint rt charger and had a xa superbird & charger sportsman before that, and shes only 26! makes me jealous. My mum had an xa coupe also.

Love the coupe, fantastic work, will look great with the minilite wheels. and your cobra is even better, the stripes look perfect!, would be very time consuming to get them right.

Pat the coupe looks great, but paint the bonnet scoop pink.
It looks as though it was a last minute add on or something.
Just my opinion.
Cheers
Todd.

Job well done. When I first saw the colour scheme I thought it was a little odd! But it looks great. Choice of wheels look good as well. Hope your missus is happy with it.
