Sorry about your car Mayzon

Just finished mine, had it all clean yesterday and it rains today, so just cleaned it again

Looking forward to this event as first time I have been there

Any meets or convoys ?

Bad news it peeing it down really bad and thunder and lightning in Leicester at the minute will be the same tomorrow!

Like an idiot decided to strip my car and put her back ready for tomorrow grrr bloody weather

o dear maybe it will clear for tomorrow

Was actually suppose to be fine tomorrow morning then maybe showed and storms in the afternoon might be ok as it's here early. Started to scramble my sky now.

Morning people!

Some times you think... Why the he'll am I up so early on a sunday.

See you all soon

I'm so gutted for you mate!! I really hope it isn't a write off too!

If & when you get involved with insurers make sure they pay out what the car is really worth. I was up at FCSS yesterday & Joe was telling me about a low mileage Turbo Plus that was written off. The insurers tried to pay out £2000 but Joe demonstrated by way of his specialist knowledge & current adverts for similar models that it was worth far more & they eventually paid out over £6 grand!

Don't let them pull a fast one on you mate! Good luck getting it sorted.

Thanks mickey I'll bear that one in mind.

Took the car to thier 'nominated' garage which i was a bit sceptical about doing but all in all they seem to be a good one, and they said it shouldn't be a write off 'PHEW'
These insurance companys are all to eager to write stuff off.

A good panel beater will see her back to good health, think i just a bit of coop paranoia.

this is what happened...

If that panel was behond repair then it would most certianly be a write off as it incorporates the roof.

Great Day Really nice to meet some great Fiat Coupe Owners.

Top it off got best Fiat as well

Yep, it was a great day, rain held off until 3pm so wasn't too bad! And well done to Mr Edz for wining best fiat this year!

Well done Ed - love the large shapely rear

- your car looks as well

Great event and nice to meet members old and new. Weather held out for us and the hardware around the place was awesome, especially in the coupe show area.

Congrats to Edz with a deserving win for the Fiat concours, superb car, as was MrC's

Short video of Edz getting his prize here > CLICK

That went well

When I arrived I was regretting not taking a jacket. However the weather soon cleared up and people got busy cleaning the cars whilst Bob got cooking the Bacon butties Young Jake was hiring out his cleaning services to Coupsters, though his cleaning supplies provider did note that he was not getting a cut

Congratulations to Edz on winning in the Modern Fiat category, the car looked stunning mate even though it is a Vinci Grey LE

It was nice to meet up again with one particular Red LE and its keepers It has been a good few years since I last saw the car and it was good to still see it on its special plate, thought it could do with having its bonnet painting

It was so nice to catch up with everyone and meet a few new faces too. It was a pity the fellow who had just bought his Coupé didn’t manage to bring it and it was also a shame that the Lime Green Coupé didn’t make it. If I missed or blanked anyone I do apologize. I do tend to be easily distracted at meets

Antony (Boosted7) and I had an interesting drive home in the rain. It has been a long time since I have driven in rain that hard

Great day out! Very good luck with the weather in the end too I thought - it was mostly dry (at least from 12.00 onwards when I was there). The rain driving home was positively biblical!!

Nice to see a few people I hadn't seen since the AGM (Mario, Marco) & meet more Coop drivers & of course great to see those Coopsters that I see a bit more often!

Big Congratulations to Edz for his Concours win, the car looked amazing. Standard wheels look better IMHO

Thanks to Bob for the sausages I gratefully 'tidied away' & thanks to Jake for cleaning my engine bay for the bargain price of an ice cream!

Great day! I've got some photos, I'll put them up a bit later.

Yes the drive home was, er, interesting! Haven't seen rain that heavy in a long time!

Here's a few of my photos from the day:

De Tomaso Pantera GTS - look at the width of those tyres!!

Thanks for the vid

It was a good day indeed, happy to meet up again with friends old and new.

A pity about the weather; particularly as 110 miles further south it was hot and sunny most of the day. The rain arrived at home about 3 hours after me.

Probably not since you experienced a summer storm in Brisbane!

It was great to catch up with you lot too, and especially Barmybob for singling us out to say hello and welcome us - really was a great start to a fab day.

And yes, I know my bonnet needs a respray

Did i see you on the A331 heading home around 6pm?

Sounds like a great day was had, would like to see some more photo's though

Could well have been me Alexis, that was about when I got home and I used that road from the M3.

Was really impressed, loads of nice cars about and all nicely laid out...sorry I didn't get chance to come and say hello, I'm never sure of how to go about it!

just do what i do...

start by giving abuse to Mario

Best bet is to simply walk over, say hello and state your name and forum name. You'd be surprised how normal and friendly everyone is (strange I know!!)

No need to be shy with us lot mate were all friendly... even Stan... at times

Meeting and greeting tip......

At FCCUK there are no formalities. Just pop over to the Gazeebo with your chair, set it up and join in

The banter is usually the same as it is on the Forum.... Give Mario, Marco and Nick (When he bothers to turn up) a hard time

can you see it??

i can just about see it.....

no no its LONG gone!!!

(Bob's discount is LONG GONE)

Too right mate! I miss those late afternoon storms, very impressive - apart from the golf ball sized hail stones

Hi Guys - Great day - Sorry did not get to speak to all but nice welcome from Bob and Pete.

Some Fabulous Coupes and other cars there - shame about the weather at the end but loved it all the same.

We were in the Silver LE - with x2 Junior Nellos and Mrs...
Will post some of junior Nello's No.1 fotos ASAP....
cheers again
