Cloudy start, getting brighter during the day, do wrap up warm, the Carfax can be windy only a 5 degree high on the day
See you all at 10ish tomorrow. I've PM'ed Charlie, anybody else had news of his situation

Bugger

Just serviced it, went to move it and clutch pedal is stuck to the floor.

I'll have a mooch in the morning to see if it is seized (ive only done 150 miles in 2 years), else i'll have to get a new slave or master and do some spannering.

So... may or may not be there tomorrow, maybe or maybe not in the coup....

Bugger is the polite way to put it
Leave us a message as to your progress in the morning, GOOD LUCK!

I fancy this in my sprinty, can I tag along? Car is clean and even has the magic number 7 on my reg plate.

It looks like there is a vacant slot Submariner.

Not for me to say, but I think we are a man down.... if it is not too far to come why not just rock up? Even if you can't join the convoy it is a good day out with some great cars to ogle!! See you later??

Tim

Yes, no probs Submariner, come along. There's room for you in the convoy from South Lodge

Oh dear... I can't find my thermals

Bad news Tim, we're not next to the bar today either
Better bring a thermos instead

Already loaded.... only coffee though

We're out side Subway so no need for sarnies!

Bloody radio switched itself on since Saturday so I have a flat battery. Now on charge but will probably have to bump start it.

Perhaps the slowest drive from the hotel chaperoned by HMs finest average of 20mph! Great spot parked up in Town. The Coupes look really good. Now supping Italian coffee!

Club flags look cool...the Zonda is getting a lot of attention on the other side of the square.

A trifle chilly but a good day out. All the Coupes looked great (apart from mine) and attracted a lot of attention. Thanks to Begbie and jonjeffryes for their support and entertainment. Nice to meet Steve as well... good luck with your Scottie! Best bit of the day was Submariner and Thunderbox comparing panel gaps, screen washer bottles, and missing fuse boxes.... just think of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon arguing over Ann Margret - classic .

Car of the day? Sans doubt c'est le DeLorean. Someone will post pictures later and you will get the idea. Brilliant. Many thanks to Ross for organising everyone, and to Pete for providing the eye-catching flags again, attracting the general public to my dents and scratches!

Guys great to meet up with you all again, if a little chilly! Hopefully all the bits should arrive to bolt my beastie back together in time for the next meeting.

A meeting like this really spurs you on to get stuck in on your own car.....which I did as soon as I got home......well I looked at the car briefly and then made myself a nice hot cup of coffee indoors.....well it's bloody cold out there! enthusiasm only stretches so far :-)

Thanks all for making the effort to get to the event. Yes it was bloody freezing, but the warmth of the crowd soon made that feeling go away. Althought the location was not as picturesque as last year, it had a better level of foot fall and interest from the passing public. A special thanks for Submariner for him and his sleep deprived partner for making the impulsive trip up to Horsham. It was great to catch up with you all after a dull winter. The sun finally came out for us in the end. Anyway enough of the waffle. Here are the pics from the day, enjoy see if you can play "Where's Wally" AKA JonJeffryes

oi Ross no.......a little less of the myrth and a bit more focus on cleaning your car and you too might end up with a decent coupe.....carry on like this and I'll send my grandchildren around armed with their scooters and bikes..... ;-)

So Jon, have you seen yourself yet

nope

Love the black Lamborghini and its Ford Focus Side repeaters

Thoroughly enjoyed the day- bright and bitterly cold was actually better than last years *issing with rain! Great to see everyone, especially to Submariner- hope to see you again soon. Thanks to Tim and Serg1 for winding me up about panel gaps etc. etc.! I thought great pitch for us this year as although out of the main throng we certainly had lots of people passing by and chatting. Missed Mr. and Mrs. T but I'm sure they had other things to do and we'll see them soon.

My car of the Day was the Lancia Superleggera with Touring coachwork and good to see all that expensive exotica, especially at South Lodge where everyone was open and friendly. I couldn't quite work out the reason behind meeting there and Hop Oast but a Sussex Constabulary funeral procession was quite an event!

See most of you on Sunday at the Grasshopper. Hoping the weather at least as good!

TB, just picked my Moon 20VT6 from JBT. I thought I would check the oil and water this morning, and I am missing the black box flight recorder from the top of my washer bottle as well. I won't sleep well tonight..... mind you, my panel gaps look good!

See you at Brooklands

Tim, mind the trams, as they say up North!
See you at Brooklands!
Chris

You all inspired me to get my coupe back on the road again and - it now is!
Happy happy happy :-)
See you all next year. Back to france now.
Steve.

Hi Steve,
Good to meet you in Horsham, glad to hear the old girls back on the road where she belongs
We'll need 8 coupes next year so your welcome along
Thanks again all, for the efforts put in to make this another excellent inaugural Coupe event of 2013.
