Hi Chrissy, Sounds like a plan Brecon Beacons sounds great! We could meet up at the Lamb and Flag for some lunch: http://www.lambflag.com/Huge car park so ideal for lots of coups to meet up.

Me too - date depending. I like to go out early in the day when there's less traffic - but I suppose a meet and drive is about sticking together so traffic doesn't matter. How about meeting somewhere near Merthyr Tydfil (don't know the area meself but there must be supermarkets with big car parks), driving North over the Beacons to Brecon (A470), then Piston Heads mentioned road to Builth Wells (B4520) (good car park by the river there), South along the Wye (B4567), join the A470 at Erwood, then South via Talgarth and Cwmdu to the A40 then onto the Lamb and Flag. AA says it's 73 miles, and 1 hr 50 mins. We could start off at 10am and get to the pub by 1pm allowing for petrol and other stops. There are other fab roads, the A4059 from Hirwaun that meets the A470 etc etc. Not to mention the Elan Valley, the road to Aberystwyth via LLangurig, (H Huw wanders off into fantasy roads at this point in the post....).

Count me in, mine could do with a good run.
Any route in South/Mid Wales sounds great with a decent pub for lunch.
As I'm 2 hours from the bridge would meeting at Magor services or similar be possible? Enjoyed myself last time driving in convoy to the Pub.
11th/12th April?

What if we said plan for 12th April and if the weather looks shocking 19th can be the alternative?
HiraethHuw's suggestion for a route sounds good? Would we need numbers to book a table for the pub?

That's going to be some miles for you to travel if your coming up from Dorset, DC. Happy to look at other suggestions closer to Magor and Abergavenny. The route I was going on about goes up from 70 miles to 125 if we start at Magor servs. The dual carriageway from Newport to Abergavenny via Raglan is good, straight and generally not busy. There's a good mountain road from Rassau to Llangynidr which we could use on the way to the pub. I'll PM a couple of peeps to drum up some more company

On Can invite my neighbour with his EVO FQ340 to make up numbers.
I can also rally some other troops. Only if he can keep up!

Wow! 20 VT's, an Evo and an RS Focus? I can't wait. Bit worried that not only my NA can't keep up, but won't stop when the others do! I'll be sailing past the convoy with both feet on the middle pedal surrounded in a cloud of brake dust . Wonder if my mate will lend me his GTV V6?????

The NA's natural habitat are the A and B roads of the beacons!! I met Alex on a track day last year strangely. He was in his tuned Ibiza diesel. It wiped the floor with my remapped NA. Helluva fun though. Might invite my other mate in his remapped Fabia vRS. He is in Hereford.... Convoy ??? Will ask Joe too.

As for the NA not being able to keep up, don't worry at all, speed limits and traffic will be the hinderance rather than horsepower

I'll be at Magor Services at 10am on 12th: Then maybe: 1. Travel East or West on the M4 in search of some nice driving roads then, 2. Stop off at a couple of beauty spots to enjoy the views then, 3. Pub lunch somewhere then, 4. Cruise home.

Smashing pic, remember seeing it last year now. The road from Hirwaun to the A470 is just that bit wilder and quieter than the A470 itself. It joins the 470 just south of Storey Arms, IIRC. Will probably be covered in snow on the 12th

Will probably be covered in snow on the 12th I loved that drive back in 2005, If you look to the far left, My rare beast came out to party that day Nissan Pulsar GTIR, Very thin on the ground these days, But the roads were perfect for its 4 wheel drive, Can't wait for this one, Big-up to you all for sorting a decent route in such quick time!

Jonscoupe. Do you think we need to book at the Lamb and flag or is it big enough to cope if we just turn up, it being a Sunday lunchtime and all that?

Not long to go now. I've printed off a route plan - done 15 copies. Is that enough? Magor M4 -> jnct 32, N on A470 to Merthyr, West on A465 to Hirwaun, Hirw to A470 Storey Arms. Down to Brecon, A40 to Abergavenny, but, if time, detour from Bwlch, to Llangynidr, mountain road towards Beaufort, turn off down to LLangattock, A40 on to pub 90 miles - 2hrs 10 according to AA route planner. Is this ok with everyone??!! My Coupe is roadworthy, and is ticking over already from now til then to make sure it will start on the Sunday

My back box fell off mid re-map so I replaced with a straight pipe as a temporary fix but it actually sounds really good!
Might leave it like it.

Yes - Get that MOT tester getting it legal ASAP! I have changed Coil springs a few times, With the right tools its not hard, Did you have the car MOT'd & then they discover the broken spring? Is it ONLY the spring failing the cars MOT? Do you have a plan B? another car, or shotgun with one of us perhaps? I have had the Paint corrected, Fitting the decat monday - Which I know will sound epic with the Scorpian system,. I cant wait too

Took mine for a spin on Friday. Quick test run before the bigger spin on 12th. Glad to report she's running well but after stopping off for a bite to eat, got back in the car and prepared for e 30 mile trip home. She started fine but The red injector light problem has returned This meant she was running on 4 cylinders for a while but the 5th one came back to life after a few miles and the injector light went out. Think I might need to look at that before next weekend. Hope it's a cheap fix.

You happy to take your car as it is, Jon or does it need sorting? Perhaps we need to have a back up car follow our shaky coupes a la Top Gear? How about an x plate Hyundai coupe with the surprised headlights? Looks like it's had a grenade shoved up it's exhaust

I would suggest doing this at a later date, When all of us are in the cars we love,
Shame, but understandable with Bruce out and Gripped and Morrison still in the lurch. I can't do any more dates in April but I can do those dates in May the 24th n 31st.

Shall we leave it until Friday evening and see how things are looking for everyone? Or is that a little late?
If Gripped and Morrison are able to come along, Bruce, did I read you have a GTV Cup as well? Could you bring that? Equally as cool as a 20VT!
How many cars do we have at the moment?

As the numbers have dropped off a bit we could always just meet up somewhere more central to us all on Sunday.... Somewhere where we don't need to book such as a Harvester!

Ok then so which option shall we go for: Option 1. Meet up at Magor services as planned @ 10 then travel along original route to the BBs then lunch at Lamb & Flag or, Option 2. Meet up somewhere central for us all on Sunday for a chin wag, a bite to eat and plan a longer meet and drive in May/June etc Option 3. Postpone our meeting on Sunday and plan another meet in May/June

Agreed guys. Go for option 1 and have another meet later in the year as well. I would rather attend with my coupe so I will skip this Sunday. Hope you all enjoy.

You still up for this, Brilly? Is your mate with the Fabia coming down from Hereford, Gripped? Thanks for the offer of the bits, Chrissy, but both too big for my n/a

I'll see if I can get my brother to be camera man from my passenger seat. Convince Alex to come it'd be great to see his car again (and everyone elses of course).

Not a huge car park H,
I usually park at the far end by the grass bank.
Usually plenty of space there.

Yeah, was great to meet you all on my first Coupe meet. Cheers Chrissy, and to Jon for organising the pub. I'm still buzzing - the view of your different coloured Coupes snaking round the bends in my rearview mirrors will stay with me forever. Passed a sleepy Cerbera driver, and stussled with some bikes (until the straights)on the way home. 160 miles in total for me. Loved every one of 'em too

Throughly enjoyed yesterday. Good to see everyone. I have a few videos onboard mine, but I need to see about stitching them together to try and make something. I think Andrew took a vids onboard with Jon.

I've got about 10 short vids [not HD though unfortunately but watchable] which I am taking over to Alex so he can put them together. I'll add them onto YouTube and attach a link in next few days. Chrissy, didn't your passenger take any pics/vids?

Hi All. I'm on a high tonight after finishing my dry January which rolled into February with messrs Wye valley brewery, Purple Moose brewery, Mordue brewery and Hobsons brewery. Plus the bloody bottle of Baileys taking up space in the fridge which I handily emptied How about a meet up? I'm still hanging on to my 156, but it'll have to be sold this year for financial reasons, so one last meet is a must. Brilly, you have a Spider now which I have to see. Gripped, haven't seen you since Joe's FCSS meet. Morrison, Jonscoupe , dc20vt plus others we need to meet up for a tyre kicking session. I can make Sunday 15th n 22nd April as the calendar stands tonight. Jim - you could bring the Jaaaag out for an airing. Joe - well. Be good to see you out from under a Coupe. I'll bring Wagon wheels. What do you reckon? Right, where's the Drambuie?

Hi guys, I'm a long time member but have been off the scene for a LONG time!
Anyway I've just spent a lot of hours and money on my '98 Coup having chassis works and a front end re-spray. In order to get this done it was a full interior removal, plus removal of mirrors, b pillars, front bumper etc etc.
So now she's back together and looking sweet no naturally I'm keen to show her off and a get together would be good.
Where are we thinking? South Wales somewhere?? The road up by Abergaveny are nice.

My Coupe's away having major surgery at the moment, so depending on progress I might need to use the Spider. Either way, hopefully I can make it. Cheers

I'm easy, happy to come over the bridge to south Wales but only really know the road that goes up to abergavenny that turns right at the Celtic Manor off the M4, long dual carriage way. Then after abegavanny there are lots of pubs on the road up to brecon that I've seen. That why I suggested this as its all I really know but yeah whatever.

It could be a laugh. A track session, followed by a drive to a local pub or something to share tales of "hitting the apex," "getting the back end out", "brake fade" and "god I need a new engine" and the like.
June onwards is better for me. Hi Toby - Hope all is well with you. I'd be happy to tag along if the date is free in my diary. Please pm me with any definitive updates. Cheers Brilly
