Calling all Irish coupe owners.Just setting up a new post to try and organise a gathering. Given that we have interest from North, South, East and West it makes sense to meet somewhere central.

We usually meet at the Hodson Bay Hotel in Athlone @ 1pmish on a Sunday so unless anyone suggests another location we will go with that.

It would be great to get as many coupe owners as possible so spread the word and we will update the below list as people come back.

Not all coupe owners are on the forum so if you pass one everyday, stick a note on their windshield or something!

Cheeky Git!
Can't believe I'm going miss this one

ha ha, sorry mate , couldn't resist it pity you can't make it but congrats on the wedding!

I've no doubt our paths will cross again.

As for the rest of you, how about a comment or post. This meet won't happen if we can't even get a dialogue going here on the forum!!

Can we start a list of actual Irish (North & South)coupe owners on here and I will then PM everyone.

cheers

Ronan

I'll go, I'll give a few other owners a text and see if they're free to go.

Hi Ronan,

I am still up for this meet. This will be the last meet before I put her in for the winter.

I was looking through my posts about the other sprinty I know from Monaghan. Have not got the details. If your still in the fold give us a shout.

You know you want to!!

CollieD

Hi all,

I have found the details for Brand1 whom I was talking about in earlier post.

I have pm him. Dont know if he still is in the fold.

CollieD

Ok so list of Irish coupe owners

maastiff
daithi28
collieD
Darmtb
Albertone
Brand1

There's also Alfex and Gobby and dec1.

Unfortunately we lost Karlos475 to a Clio Sport 172 only last week. A good soldier lost before his time

He'll be back in a coupé in no time I tells you

belfastjohn!!!!
Eoghan in Waterford
On the NIIMC there's Stuart and BigIan
Octane there's sjbrophy too

I'll be mightily peeved if this ends up as a big show of Coupés and I'm missing it.

cheers Daithi,

I went through a load of old threads and made a list of 15 or so names north and south, edited my previous post, clicked submit but it appears my post wasn't updated. DOH! I have the lit in work and will update again on Monday.

It might be a case of pushing it back a couple of weeks if it means we will get a bigger turnout, but we'll see how it goes! I'm happy to still meet on the 19th even if its only a couple of us and maybe organise a bigger meet later on when we have more time to pull it together.

Well if it's being pushed back a couple of weeks, I'm back in the country from 4th October, so anytime after that!

I'm afraid I'm one of the fallen, to a Range Rover! and a Lancia Evo.

if the right Coupe comes along I'll be back in one someday but I'll still be calling in here from time to time.

BTW there are 4 coupes in the club, Ians coupe has been off the road for a while now as he seems to have defected to Alfa at the moment.

sorry to hear you are now coupe-less Stuart, although nice one on the evo, it's on my wishlist too!!

Will try to be there, if my Red Coup is running that is, I could always bring the yellow one on the trailer....

good stuff liam, the more the merrier, it's nice to meet up and realise that everyone else has the same mechanical and electrical issues that you have you are not alone!!

i now have karlos coupe

Welcome Zigman,

I am still up for this but I want to confirm its definitely going ahead. I have another offer for something on sunday and need to commit by this evening.

Ronan and Darren have you had any more luck with other members?

Also by the way I wish daithi all the best this weekend for his wedding. Best of luck to the both of you.

CollieD

I think SJ will be coming along, I'll confirm that today.

I may be up for this, and I'll see if I can contact the drivers of the other two 20vts in the car park at work ...

JMB,

that would be great. Do your best.

The more the merrier.

SJ and Graham can't make this. Albertone may attend, but his Coupe is in a garage at the moment

Am in Dublin at the moment but will make it down tomorrow. Looking fwd to seeing a line of coupes. Though I forgot my camera :-(

looking forward to this, see you all tomorrow

I thought they said it was going to be sunny today? Pffft.

Five cars, I guess that's not too bad given the weather.

One quick snap from the Blackberry - who had Proper Cameras?
