Well the sun has made an appearance over the last few weeks and well I’m back in a coupe now, so time to have another Essex coupe meet.

Location would be to start at the halfway house in Brentwood on the a127, as all previous meets have started at this location.

Then go for a drive to either southend or a location that anyone can suggest?

How does saturday the 21st may sound?

Although I think Southend is way to congested on a Saturday for a spirited drive. Its a nightmare on a Saturday Southend Bound on the A13 or A127

If anyone has a plugable widget to bring I need to check my accelerator cable settings. Ta

p.s. this is only if I can get it through the MOT tomorrow, 2nd attempt.

Isn't Southend on Sea one of the grimest places in the South of England? I went once to see the pier. There was loads of mega-chavs driving up and down the sea front. Even one or two "monster trucks". As night fell the wife and I beat a hasty retreat.

Went once on a coupe meet and we parked well outside the central area. That made it OK, just about.

No, the sea front at certain times of the day is grimey and chav infested. But..... Southend does have a lot to offer bar the sea front.

Def not a place for a Coupe meet, there are lots of Ford meets, wheel spinning, burnouts etc, Neons used to be as standard!

Can I suggest meeting at half way house, then onto Maldon? Or shoebury east beach both are good destinations.

Alternatively, meetup about 09:00 on a Sunday morning, then drive to the arches at westcliff for breakfast, if we get there earlyish parking outside is easyish. Then I would be happy to photograph and video each car on a "Drive by" possibly down by front, old Leigh, or for "urban chaos" photos under flyover at Pitsea

I'd rather get out of the urban hecticness that is Southend and get onto some open road. Could meet somewhere around South Woodham Ferrers or around Brentwood, theres some nice country roads.
