well my cam phase sensor is on the fritz, so won't be bringin the coop anywhere until I figure out what I'm gonna do about it. Had been planning to go to UK to get belts done but can't even get car started now and can't afford to bring it to Fiat main dealer (refuse to pay €95/hr) . But if ye get one going I will come along in the Alfa anyway, preferably in november, October is fairly busy for me.

Wasn't there talk of Carlingford before?? Besides Daithi, if you ever want to see your widget again.... By the way, I ordered two pairs of clear side repeaters (because I am a nonce) so first to PM me gets them.

Depending on the date I would love to come along to this. Weekends in November are good for me but best would be after the 16th as I will no longer have a job at that stage @albertone: I would be heading from Clane/Celbridge

Hi all, I need to check but I think the 21st would be okay for me. Daithi, what you think of that, we could come up with a bit of a route to drive to explore the best bits. CollieD

Right then, where exactly are we meeting , and at what time? I don't know the area so maybe one of you guys can name the spot.
How about 1pm for the time? that should give most people enough time to get there.
Pity you can't make it Darmtb!

Thanks Daithi, I have replied. Right Guys. This could be the makings of a good day out and should be well worth the visit. We can meet up in Dundalk at the Crown Plaza Hotel which is central for most people and head on from there. There will be a nice mix of roads from twisty hill climbs with great views to wide open main roads. I suggest around 1pm on the 22nd November. Come on lads put your names down!!! CollieD

still waiting on a new crank sensor to arrive, hopefully that will sort my car out, but if not I'll be there in the Alfa regardless. It sucks to have to walk past her everyday and not be able to start her up

@gobby would you like to meet up in either celbridge or clane would be good for me? Well, I would imagine that Celbridge is where I will end up. Heading to an old friends suprise 30th on the Saturday so if I'm getting a late bus from town I can only really get as far as Celbridge unless I want to shell out for a taxi (which I don't!)

Eek, ran into a bit of an issue with my coupe. End of the (standard) exhaust has fallen off. Won't be too much of an issue on short runs but dunno if I want to risk a long one before I can replace it (with some blueflame goodness!). Might have to head with you albertone if thats okay? I don't want to end up melting my entire bumper (it's a little melted already!)

@ Albertone, great news you have the Belts fitted and the Rims on 'er now. Looking forward to seeing how she looks in the flesh.
@ Gobby, the very same happened with my exhaust a while back, thing is I haven't got around to getting a new rear section exhaust. But I also need a new downpipe too... wonders never cease.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

I'll be there but unfortunately my coupe won't I'll come along anyway in the Alfa. Daithi, I suppose you'll be wanting yer widget back! I completely forgot that I had it so apologies for not contacting you sooner to arrange its safe return! @ Gobby - pity I can't bring my coupe as I have the blueflame catback fitted so you could have seen / heard it before making any decisions. You should bring your coupe anyway, a little melted bumper never hurt anybody!!! I trimmed mine because it melted when I got the exhaust fitted and you can't even notice!!

A great meet! Really worth the trip down to meet you all, first time I've been a part of a Coupe Convoy and on those wonderful driving roads too, shame about the weather though. Never a greater invention than RainX for the windscreen!
Looking forward to the next meeting and track days. @ Albertone - very jealous of the way your VIS sounds... a new exhaust is defo going on Santa's letter I think. @ Mastiff, thanks for the clear repeaters!

Alright Boyos! Great to meet up alright. Pity about the weather. That mountain road is epic in the dry and there is usually never any traffic on it. We'll have to start organising the New Year meet now I think I have a few pics taken from yesterday of us getting pi$$ed on! I'll try an dpost them up when I finally get home to my own pc. See y'all again soon! Oh and yes, a convoy to Bristol sounds great for 2010

I'd certainly be on for a Road Trip!!
I've driven past Bristol that many times over the summer with work, albeit in a Transit van, I could probably drive it in my sleep, perhaps I already have...
Driving through Wales is immense, the mountain roads from Holyhead through Bangor and right down are fantastic!!
I'm really on for karting too, roll on 2010!

That Alfa looks stunning. Even with the missing rear badge, cracked tail light, variety of dints and scratches and an odd offside front alloy it puts those shabby coupes to shame. Just as well I moved it for the latter photos so that the coupes would look ok on their own! Sure even in Collies first photo you can see the Alfa is right on your tails trying to get past
