Thanks...

A bit of info if this area was decided upon for a meet:

Its free to get on the beach, and it can prove to be good for photo's..... when the tide is in (but not in too far!)

There are a couple of speed scameras about, but not too many, I know most, if not all, there locations from weston to cheddar, and there are some very good, fast (if thats what you want) and / or scenic roads in the area.

One route, which takes in some of the somerset levels, that i'd suggest is....

clicky - map / route WSM -cheddar

or something similar.

Ironically, I'm likely to be in portsmouth in september, but would happily make the trip back for a meet 'on home soil'

Yes, definitely so good, fast and scenic roads around Cheddar.

It's where we had a close encounter of a Pheasant kind a few years ago (and probably altered the colour of a motorcyclists underpants too)

There is a video ...

Im easy going, so happy with the plans so far, just need to get the coupe sorted

sounds good! i live over chichester way (sorta near portsmouth) so would be up for a meet in this area anytime!

Right, let's see a good turnout with lot's of Coupes.

I have a provisional route planned out, including lunch break in Priddy (good pub with plenty of parking), but what sort of a day does everyone want?

We can finish with a short drive after lunch or go on until late afternoon??

I'll get provisional map up in a couple of days, depending!

A lazy sunday would be best for me, but i will probably be there whenever it is.

What would everyone else prefer?

Paul good on you sir, this time I shall follow not lead

May be on for this. Will need to bring the wife as I'll have just got back from two weeks on holiday on my own and then a trackday and a few other items. So if the weather's good I'll probably be there.

Good to see so many interested.

I promise a nice day, no rain etc. etc. - this is the provisional route, which includes lunch stop in Priddy.

Map (only the Cheddar bit!)

And the Pub - Here! - there aren't any better pics, but take it from me it's pretty good.

There are some pretty good roads here for a Coupe convoy....

I would definitely be interested if the weather's nice. Would be a good drive and a good chance to meet some fellow coopsters. Although without a turbo I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up...

If it's on a sunday i will be last minut,e as i start work sunday late afternoon, i will hopefully be back on days then.

Cool, i've put the date in my calendar, nothing else planned so i'm in

I wouldnt worry about having an N/A, none of us will be able to keep up with Leighton anyway

hehe, I'm not really worried about getting left behind Depending on the order we set off, I could be near the front of the line then you'll all just be stuck behind me for miles
Of course, with one of Leighton's chips in my car I should be almost as fast as you turbo guys anyway... I wish.

James

If i got nothing on, i'll pop down

Ben

I'm planning to attend - as long as nothing urgent comes up!

Promise, it'll be a good drive, weather will be good, lunch (if you want it) is very good, plus plenty of photo opportunities.

What more could you want! Let's get a good turnout.

i would love to jump on board if i may, as long as no funnies come up at work it would be great to meet you guys, and cars so i am a deffo, unless WWIII breaks out.

Anyone else??

Im still very last minit decision. May need a new engine

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Let's hope news is not bad

sounds good Paul!

do we know how many Shell garages that sell V-Power are on the route?

some of us cant carry as much fuel due to arch/tyre reasons

Ry

Maybe. I live in Weston, so its not exactly a trek for me. But its my boys 4th birthday party, so I'll have to see if I can get away or not :-(

Hey guys, looking forward to this already!

I can't see a confirmed time & place in Weston to meet on Sunday the 13th in the thread...

Am I just not seeing it?

I'm afraid I'm out of the game guys... my engine blew up while I was at the AGM this weekend

If & when I get another one I'll be up for a South West meet though!

Hey, that's such rotten luck ..... worst nightmares and all that!

Still time to slip another engine in - perhaps

Let's hope we see you at the next one.

OK, I hope everyone (who's car is still running) is still up for this one.

The weather is supposed to be fine, the drive will be and luch, at This Place should be pretty good.

Option of a further drive after lunch as well should make a good day.

I suggest that we meet up on Weston sea front, near the pier at 9.30 for 10.00 start when we can make our way to Cheddar for a photo session / tyre kicking / short walk, before a drive on to Priddy for lunch.

After lunch there are some good roads to enjoy to finish the day off mid - late afternoon.

Sound a plan?? Who's still running ?

Be there

I had a good day at Castle Combe on saturday and didnt blow and engine or turbo! so i'm still in

I remember back in march i fitted a replacement engine a week before Castle combe event and had Flea remap in the week, that was fun.

Ry

I'll meet everyone at Chedar gorge

Ben

Afraid I can't make it, have a great day and enjoy the sun.
