Summer Wales / S West meeting - 07/05/2015 20:08

It seems I just love going out in the Coupe these days!

Any date, But I would prefer as many Coupes / Cars together as possible,

None at JBT's, None in paint shops, garages or anything similar! -

Elan Valley was from memory a beautiful route? Can we do more driving this time possibly & make it a full day?

Anything your thinking, add below,

I can do most weekends from now till August, (I work 1 in 3 saturday mornings however)

Count me in.

The Welsh meets are always cool and a longer drive in the countryside would be great.

Can't do 27th June or 11th July, otherwise any time.

Providing I'm not working, or running my son around to his swimming competitions, I'm up for this.
Stick some dates up and I'll take a look.

Yep, free most weekends except last weekend in July and first weekend in August

A trip along the south west coast of England roads!

Say we meet up at Weston-super-Mare for some fish and chips then travel along the coast to Ilfracombe??????

July and Aug are ok apart from a couple of weekends.

I do a fair bit of motorbiking, so I know some good roads. I could help with route planning.

The road from Llandovery to Lampeter is awesome - very twisty, then up the coast to Aberaeron perhaps?

Could loop back via Aberystwyth to Llanguring, then Elan?

There is a lesser known B road from the Elan Valley to Aberystwyth via Devils Bridge which is awesome on a motorbike....

I'm in - be it the Coupe or a 156 V6 - having a car crisis at the mo.
Can't do 27/28 June, 11/12 July (beer festival in Hfd, wouldn't miss it for the world). 25/26 July, 1/2, 8/9 Aug or Aug B/H.
Toby - your route is a great one.

How about following in the tracks of the Cheddar Gorge meet that was organised couple years back?

That was a good day out smile

Maybe pitch up somewhere for a BBQ.........weather permitting that is!!

Ok then so how does a blast through Cheddar Gorge then a run out to Weston-Super-Mare for fish and chips!

The coups will look good in photo's/videos with the sea as a back-drop smile

How does Sunday 14th June sound?

Despite what I wrote earlier, I can't make it out for the foreseeable.

The car's up on blocks at the mo while I replace the lower arm ball joint covers.

Then I'm due to take it to my mates to get the boot welded up and the exhaust changed - I need the petrol money for that.

Hope to be out sometime though, I want to see your car, Bruce love

I'm up for a meeting - in the 156.
However, I have fuel pump probs and front suspension probs to sort before the late April mot.
Sort a date and I'll try and make it smash

I've fixed the fuel pump.
My mates fitting new suspension arms (front upper and rear rear) and a rather home made stainless back box to the 156 this week (the bend over the axle is made out of 6 pieces of pipe welded together) yes ( ebay purchase - pipe not shown in pics) punch
I've got teledials to refurb then an mot to do.
Then I can come out for a driving
