There were a few of us Coupe owners there last year, and I must say it was a good day out. Loads of classics to look at, and a lovely setting too.

Even more importantly, it's for charity. thumb

Who fancies going this year?

I may come to this, although it won't be in the coupe.

Put me down as a possible.

If we're home we'll come along, won't be displaying as it's just too long a day for the wife to be sat around bored. I don't blame her, would be like expecting me to cope with 8 hours in boots at the makeup counter.

Last year the show was good, but more Coupes would have made it better.

The hospitality provided by Gripped & Ms Gripped for the weekend was most excellent.

And I look forward to the same again this year...

Ha. Yes, I made a quick post as I was getting the kids out of the door for school and chose the wrong Welsh meeting thread rolleyes

I doubt I'll get to go this year either. It's Mrs HH birthday weekend. Unless we crazy get divorced before then. And I have been spending alot of time on the Alfa rather than doing up the house. Whoops.
The Alfa is going well, sounds fab and is now sporting a lovely boot/boat spoiler off of a Sunseeker.
Still needs the cambelt doing though....

Ps. I deleted the post twice as soon as I realised my goof, but it still remains

ROLL UP, ROLL UP !!

Closing date for registration is 1st August. It's a really good day - nice and chilled out. Picnics and polished engines. What's not to like??

There is even a parade lap if you can be bothered.

Easy access, just a short distance from M4 at Margam.

Missed the deadline, ooops. Spoke the wife and she didn't want to go anyway due to the lack of facilities last time and not being able to leave until late.

I'll do my best to pop along and pay you guys a visit.

Hi All

In my haste to drum up support, I forgot to register before the 1st August deadline. DOH !! loser A couple of Coupe buddies also forgot.

HOWEVER do not despair !!

You can turn up on the day and pay your £10 entry. It is for charity after all. Just go to Gate 2 and with your Jedi skills, use the Force to make the steward let you in.

Actually, just say, "I'm here to exhibit, please direct me to the Fiat Coupe area."


https://bloodwise.org.uk/event-challenge...CFRS6Gwod7AwGuQ

Hope to see you there.

I'm hoping to make this too, having done sufficient DIY and family duties at home to earn myself a day off with my car.
I see that exhibitors have to be on the show ground by 10.30am, and have to stay til 16.00.
I'll be going as a day visitor and so can enter the show at 11.00
The forecast is dry if not hot or sunny.
Looking at last years photos, there's a fair variety of cars too see. (I'm looking forward to seeing the buses too)!
Are you all meeting there, or is there a chance to meet up at a service station en-route for a mini, pre-event convoy driving of Italian steel (I'll be in me Alfa).

Yep, looking good for Sunday. See you there Huw. I'll be at the tea hut wearing a Fiat Cap...... maybe...

Exhibitors via GATE 2. Only £10 to exhibit and kids are free. We'll turn up around 9:30ish to get on site before it opens. Must remember to take picnic ! though plenty of food on site too.

Any other takers ???

You going to this, Joe? Be great to see you and your LE.

There's TWO tunnels on the way there if you travel down through Monmouth and along the M4 party

Cars gassed up, polished up and ready to go.

I'll keep me eyes peeled for Coupes. You driving down this way too, Boosted?

Hi Huw,
Gripped, arm and I will be at junction 34 of the M4 at about 9:15. If you're coming westbound, take the exit at junction 34, then first exit at the roundabout... then park up on the right hand side. Look out for two coupes and a triumph Stag!

Thanks for the info, but that's a bit early for me. But then again, what time are you starting out as you've got further to drive than me?!
I think it's best that I meet you in there.
Cheers
