Needed a greenie there today to neuter the common wine red

An Inky Black would have been better!

What a shame more cars did not show up!
it was a nice meet, sorry we could not come for the drive.
I did take some pictures, I will try and put them up this evening.

Chilled meet, thanks for setting this up Jon and to Toby for booking the lunch

Day started quite brightly but in true form it was raining by the time we got to the valleys

What a fab day out, and a great bunch of people too. I think we turned quite a few heads driving through Abergavenny town centre with the coups looking very cool and sounding so good.

Round of applause for those tractor drivers, in those lanes on the way to Abergavenny, who were kind enough to pull over in the lay-bys for us all to get past.

Great pub meal, even though it took a while for them to serve the meals, but I thought the food was very good and a fab drive afterwards to Brecon and down to Merthyr. Fab roads and thanks again to Alex for taking his RS. Shame he didn't drive a bit faster though!!....and that red coup of DC's is b***dy quick

Hope we can all meet up again soon, maybe over the English side of the Severn bridge next time, and hope to have our coup back on the road again as soon as Phill and Mark at AJ Auto Repairs in Newport have finished giving it some TLC

Hi Jon, thanks for making us feel welcome when we arrived at Magor. It was the first Coop event I've attended, so we did not know what to expect!
I look forward to seeing your coupe next time round and hopefully you can get the clutch sorted soon.
I'll try and bring my friend along next time, whose very enthusiastic as the former owner of my Porto.

Next time I think it needs to be hosted the other side of the bridge... maybe summertime in Cheddar gorge?

Meet in Cheddar, run out into the mendip hills and then a pub in Priddy for lunch?

Sounds good
Plenty of amplification driving through the gorge

We did a nice vid a few years back through the gorge. I am not sure if Fishy Dave still has a copy. I only have the high res version.

Cheddar is a great idea, the sooner the better!

There have been a few problems at Cheddar Gorge in the past with big Pistonheads meets, but that was mainly due to taking up too many parking spaces and a few idiots showing off and ruining it for everyone else.

Of course an FCCUK meet would be far more civilised, respectful to others and significantly less cars, so unlikely to be any problems.

I'm definitely up for this. Perhaps it's time for a new thread.

I was on the Cheddar Coupe meet in 2005 / 06 was it?

Great day out.

We'll be there. the Three Musketeers from Wales

Just a reminder this is on Saturday:

I might not be there unfortunately however Andrew and Alex are attending and taking the RS around the track for a spin

Any more pics?

Yes but have not got around to hosting them.
Anyone want too?
I could email them

Roy

Hi Roy
If you want to pm me I'll send you my e-mail address and I'll post the photos up for you.

Regards

Mark

When we were waiting at Magor services a chap came over and asked if he could take some snaps of the cars for his hobby. He'd seen some at Auto Italia in previous years etc, just found his photos......

Good pics, top bloke.

Noice!! Pass on our thanks!

I knew I should have found time to wash mine!
Nice pics.

I'd be thanking him for pointing out your bumper needs painting Jon

It's only aesthetics
She's mechanically sound so it's all good!

Fair point. Wish mine was only a lick of paint (which it is too!)...

Hi guys,

Just a quicky, Andrew has some pics and a vid on his phone from the recent meet, which we are going to try to download here for you all to see, hopefully over the weekend.

Watch this space

Sorry Theresa!

.......and we are now "back on the road" with a brand new clutch.

Any meets lined up?

Brooklands this Saturday? Anyone else out west coming?!

There was talk of something this side of the bridge, maybe Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips. Nothing more said since though. Could be good though.

A couple of pics of the recent Welsh meet, care of RoyH



That's his Burgundy Coupe at the front of the line.

Cheers Roy

Great, looking forward to the Cheddar meet then......hint hint Re: new thread anyone!

Can't do first 2 weeks of July though due to holls.
