Okay folks. Here goes.

The next south Wales meet will be held towards the end of September.

The venue and date are, as yet, undecided.

However....

The last few meetings have been much of a muchness, and the last two have been poorly attended.

As such, may I suggest a meeting point slightly to the west (Swansea? Mumbles?) to allow an easier run for a few others. And may I also suggestthat we have a definite activity planned for the end, whether this be a barbecue, or whatever.

Eleven coops on a S Wales meet is our current record. I'd like for us to match that, if possible. There are quite a few S Wales newbies who haven't been on meets, and quite a few "old guard" who've missed a few. So the potential for a cracking turnout is definitely there.

I'm away now until next weekend, but please discuss the matter in my absence.

Any time in september is fine with me.

A barbecue sounds like a good idea or possibley a meal some where.

Also it will be nice to have a bit more of a chat with members
and know there names not just the back of there cars

Ben

As Shakira said, "Whenever, wherever"

sounds good to me.. keep me posted with the dates

Dam it! Last time you had a meet I was back the weekend after. This time I'm home the weekend before

Hi guys, mind if i tag along on the next one. Finally got the coop back on the road today so will be up for the next meeting.

Luke

Good, good, getting a few more in.

So what is best for all involved.....Saturday or Sunday?

would have to be a sunday for me... Im more likely to not be working.

sunday is better for me

Ben

sunday for me too

Probably here too. So lets close that one down.

So, which Sunday?

Hi all,
nice to see a south wales meet being organised. I'm only up in ammanford so not far for me and would love to come along before the rain comes again!

Just let us know when and where and as long as i'm not working i'll be there

lee

Hi guys, this seems to be my usual response - If its fixed then i'll be there!

Mark

If all goes well could turn in JohnS coupe just waiting for a date to go and veiw it, but it will be hit and miss with the date as i dont think it will be for a couple of weeks and of course i do buy it.

If you dont buy it just turn up in your sprinty

Ben

My heads been so wrapped up in buying a new car i forgot all about that.

Coupe is back on the road. count me in guys.

if it's after the 6th of sept there's a chance I'll finally have the coop back on the road. just need a set of Dedra handbrake cables and its MOT ready!

make it the 14th?

i got trax on the 7th!

How about the 21st? Cannot do the 14th.

I can do the 7th,14th, and 28th

cant do the 21st.

Ben

28th then?

28th is fine

Ben

yeah fine for me too

wheres the meet point going to be?

As per my post in the for sale section, I wont be coming.

Unless Mottles offers me shotgun!

sorry guys looks like i cant make this if its on the 28th.. found out im down to work that day.. not happy

Really gutted.. wanted to go to this one

Did this happen? Any pics?

No, not happened yet. 28th Sept.

How about meeting up at the Limeslade car park, near Mumbles, by the Castellmare cafe again?

Can't manage the 28th unfortunately, I am in Brighton that weekend. I'll keep an eye out should the date change though.

Cheers

Gareth

Anyone going to this

Ben

i'm in Ben.

I have a funny feeling that it will just be the usual coupes

imho i dont think where or what date we have our meets
other members for some reason just dont attend

There 'will' be a big change next year

Ben

like i said before im defo not going to make.. the only weekend i have to work this month and it falls on the meet.

I hate being not being able to turn up as there is nothing better than taking the coop out on the welsh rds..Again apologies for not making it.

Will really try to make this one guys maybe with a new coupe maybe not but hopefully will be there.

Really sorry for my poor attendance guys. Coupes really close to being back on the road, managed to track down some Dedra handbrake cables in Italy and the landed last week! In theory it's the only thing stopping the car being MOTd so theres a chance it could be on the road in time.

There any plans for a meet further west?

im looking foward to this now. i cant wait to leave all these innocent coupes on the twisties lol

Okay. This is a week away now. Can we get a shout out of all those who WILL definitely be there?



Matt (Aah4)

Matt(Aah4)
Ben(Benny)

i'm in as normal

I think I can see the way this one is going again.

I really dont get why we dont have more coupes

Matt started this thread at the begining of August;
also moved the meet out further west.

So 1, pleanty of time to decide a date,
And 2, time to decide on location.

I dont know what to do or say Matt

Ben

To be honest, everytime ive had an enjoyable meet, Ive gone further afield, Been to a few Berks etc....

Doubt S Wales has alot to offer compared....

Chrissy

I intend to go further afield next year

But we should'nt have to

There is pleanty of coupes in s wales and combine that with
Faboulas driving roads

What more do you want,

Ben

im defo in!

be nice to see some faces again!

still meeting in that cafe by the mumbles? if so what time?

pm me if someone wants my number?

I'd love to but I can't make it, the belts are being done!

I've been to a meet last year and will deffo go again when it doesn't clash!

Have a good meet should it go ahead!

Dave

no offence to matt but reading through the post there doesent seem to be a certain time and place to meet and even the date is a bit sketchy. maybe if it was a case of coming on here and saying right time for another meet its going to be here at this time and on this date, that way if its done in three months advance people can plan rather than just not turn up due to the uncertainty. be more positive.

im still game tho if you guys are. be nice to look over the coops again, i miss mine

same old shit where ppl can;t turn up. loads of coupe in south wales and only ave 4 ppl turn up. Don;t understand because these meets are amazing. love every min of it! Sorry but the ppl that don't turn up is missing out!

never beat last years meet when we had about 10 coupes

Car has gone in for a MOT so its touch and go if im there.

Mmmmm....

Fresh meat

Ben

I would say 10am to 10.30am

Ben

Be gentle Benny.

Lets say 10:30

Still searching for one illusive dedra handbrake cable. I've 2 out of 3, but looks like it still wont be back on the road for the weekend. sorry guys.

10:30 is good

grale... who needs a handbrake cable?

mines hydro

Just drive it and make sure you park it in gear Jay.

Just spoke to Gareth (Champagne)Morgan and he says he's up for this if his front brakes are done.

what needs doing to his front brakes?

From what I can make out...a lot. Calipers siezed, causing pad to wear into discs. Basically new discs and pads, and probably a caliper overhaul and grease up.

Okay....for definite...

10:30 AM
Sunday 28th Sept
Castellmare Cafe car park, Limeslade, (Just past Mumbles)

Google earth Co-Ordinates...
51°34'00.02" North
3°58'52.84" West

Now you've no excuses.

Please can everyone who is not working, or dying attend.

Thanks

ahh i was gonna say i can do discs and pads on a coop in less than 30mins lol

Sorry guys wont make it car failed MOT on drivers side hand brake not working.

kyle atleast you know the rest of the car is ok

when the cops pull you just say you forgot to mot it! lol

Unfortunately the MOT tester. Could pop down in the Caddy but I doubt I'd be able to keep up.

found cable on ebay and its in swansea so is going to be tight, plus im having real trouble getting on the forum for some reason but will do me best as i really want to go to this one but will defo be in next one as ill have a new coupe

'New coupe'

Do tell

Ben

I think its best to keep this one on the QT as i talked about highwaymans coupe which i put a deposit on and it never came off. But this one is very fast.

A********o's coupe

Ben

Right,

coupe's filled up and checked over and ready to go

see everyone there 10.30am sharp

Ben

Damn right. Spoke to Gareth (Champagne), he says he'll be there too. We shall see. Evans is a definite no show, as he's working.

If you are reading this, then you are running late. Get moving!

Well, i'll leave it to matt to explain

And a 3.0 bmw ride-on lawn mower

Ben

Well, thanks to Benny and Goose (and he's not even got a coop any more) for showing. We knew this one wouldn't be attended well, but frankly, 2 coops and an M3 is pitiful.

Anyway, here's some pics I put on facebook earlier, yopu should get em.

album

Also included are some nice pics of water beading on my waxed bodywork. Gotta love that cheapo car wax wet gel.

For everyone who could'nt make it,

you missed out on a good sunday out

We had the weather we just needed more coupes anyhow

If BMW made lawn-mowers,












they probly be the best lawn-mowers in the world

They'd be the Ultimate Lawnmowing Machine.

Ben

sorry guys i was running late, i did turn up but no one there. You know me love a good meet. Ending up driving around swansea on my own.
