Hi guys.

Its time we had another shindig before the weather turns even uglier.

Best day is probably a Sunday.

Anyone fancy going further west this time. I think we've done the Brecon Beacons to death now.

End of September would be good, or before. (I'm unavailable 7th-11th)


Register your interest by putting your name below.

Cheers.

i would have loved to come but i wont be able to make it in september. i get back on the 28th, then the car is going straight in to get the respray done, if you could do it early in october i will definately be there!

I,ll be there










Even Faster now

Ben

possibly!

might have to be a passenger again tho as my coop aint nowhere near finished!

and its all stripped at the mo!

anyway aint we all going to eurofest?

be a nice run on combe circuit lol!

Too skint for Eurofest.

how about some time around mid october?

I'm about from the 7th-16th september, Def be up for it between those dates

Driving to spain this week then on the 17th i'm off to Oz for 3 months

Anyone??????

Where have all the S Wales Coopsters gone?????

well mine is still off the road! even if it is running it will be in limp mode untill its mapped

i will be available after the 6th of oct, i should have the car back from the respray by then. wont have the EBC, FMIC or SIP fitted i'll do that when i get around to it.

i hope to be there this time

count me in again! will be out for the full duration this time.

I should be there too. Forgot last time and slept in. Away 8th-15th too.

i could be interested depending on the date.. Although i may need to take her down to seawall to have a look at my suspention.. dont think its to healthy

Any thoughts about where your heading too?

Well we have done the Brecon Beacons / Builth to death pretty much. How about a bit further west? Meeting at Bridgend Sarn Services and then heading up into the mountains, Down the Afan valley, into Neath, on to Swansea, then perhaps further West, depending where the mood takes us.

is there any chance of delaying this untill around the 6th of october? i missed the last meet due as im in the Falklands, the car will be fresh from the respray and i would like to come!

I'm okay for the 1st couple of weeks in Oct.

Everyone else OK?

yeah i shud be ok

Title of thread now changed.

14th October good for everyone?

Is everyone happy with my choice of venue / route?

yeah thats spot on for me, route sounds good too! i may have time to fit the intercooler, SIP and greddy now

I am up for it, I live in Tewkesbury, Glos but have just joined so would like to get out there and meet some other coop owners!!!

Nick

Sorry guys I wont be able to make this one as my coop wont be moving under its own power for a few months,next time... G

Shall we start making a provisional list?

Should be up for this one, just fitting the new fuel tank this week - those of you who saw the state of the boot last meeting should be pleased. If it's all back together and the missus's birthday isn't the 14th (I really should know that by now) then I'll be there.

I met Patric today in his coupe and i think he will be going!

The sun has gone so I'm driving the coupe again

Wife's birthday so will be in London. Will try to beat 5 mins next time.

Car is running sweet so i'm defo. had my cat put back on and now seals are holding. No smoke 4 me.....lol slower but i don't care...lol

Can't make this one im afraid chaps I'll be in the deapths of a damp forest in North Wales. Maybe better luck next time.

Have a good one

Dai

im not going to be able to make this now guys unless u want to take a drive down west wales!

i forgot im double booked! i have a drift weekend im actually taking part in!

why dont u guys come down to west for the drive and chill at the show then nice drive back!

i love the roads down west!

where you drifting? and what in mate

brawdy air field down west wales in a loaned r33gtst skyline with 300 bhp at the rear wheels! fun

how far is that goose sounds like a good crack

Wont be able to make the meet guys. Currently in australia and wont be back until after Christmas. Sounds like a great meet though

Brawdy is about 80 miles from Bridgend services but it's motorway/dual carriagway as far as St Clears (other side of Carmarthen) then 31 miles to Brawdy. Sounds like a cool event. Loads of scenery and drives down there including Newgale on the way!! Could get some great pics if weather holds

Just checked event site. Looks like a closed gate unless you booked by Oct 1st

im sure something can be arranged

i'll check and see if i can sort something out

would you guys be game for that?

some nice roads down there

i would be, that is, if we were going there for the meet.

Right guy's as it stands

sorry i didnt make it boys, i had to go to bristol to see my ex, i havent seen her for 4 months we had a lot to talk about.

i hope to make the next meet, my car should be sprayed b then

well i had some great fun so im glad i couldent make it lol! drifting is the new cool! and im a natural! yay!

came 4th in the drift competition! not bad for a novice.

My car is booked in for the respray on sat, im not going to lie i am very happy :D:D:D:D:D:D

Result!

Ross, my passenger on our little escapade went staraight home and started looking at coops on ebay and autotrader.

I think I can convince him to trade in his Corrola G6R, which he reckons is worth tidy coop money.

wouldent be a red g6r corolla from castle bingo on npt road?
that was a mates old car! quite pants power wise considering its a 6 speed box.

tell your mate he can have my 300 bhp coop for £3k!!

You mates with Ross, or the guy he bought his G6R from? We both work on Newport Road.

I think, should Ross move to the coop, he'd be looking for a Standard example.

i knew neil the guy he bought it off. he worked there aswell a long time ago lol!

ur not that far away from my dwelling down there matt.

No indeed. Ross said today that he will be looking to get a coop after Christmas. Excellent.
