    Hi Everyone :)

    Just picked up my lovely little 1.3 2007 Copen today. She's done 81,000 so may be an OAP but feels very pretty and new to me!

    Look forward to reading some great threads on the forum xxx

    Welcome to the forum and 81k isn't a big mileage on a Daihatsu, my Copen isn't far off that and my Materia is well past the 81k mark and drives like new.

    East or West Kent? I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    I'm very close to Brands Hatch and Bluewater, don't think I've ever seen another one! Good to hear re the Mileage, looking forward to having it for a little while! Got a couple of bits of paintwork to tidyup and some TLC on the leather but fingers crossed that's it. Are you local-ish to me Paul??

    I'm in the Sevenoaks area, so probably explains why you haven't seen our "Horace" on the roads around Bluewater. You've bought one at the right time with spring just around the corner :)

    Paul, you just made my day by saying that "Spring is just around the corner". Sitting here in the depths of cold, dark January, I suddenly saw a vision of open-top, sunny, carefree Copening.......thanks! :D:)

    If I'd remember my hat the other day, I almost popped the lid in January. The sun was out but I knew after 15 minutes I'd be chiselling the ice off my ears >:)

    Ah I used to work in Sevenoaks going back about 5 years! I can also be found in and around Maidstone on a semi-regular basis so who know's where you'll spot me!

    Just about to post some n00bie questions somewhere - will find the right thread (hopefully)!
