Nice article and photos about the club, but dunno who the owners are, never heard of them?

Ooh must get a copy. Should be free for the stars of the article!

Can anybody mail me a copy? Will cover costs.

Anyone I know in it?

I bet there is a sprinty in it again!!!

Bet there's a yellow one or three.

Damnit, WHS is *closed* until the morning.

I'll pickup an extra copy for you Klaas. Pm me your address!

Fantastic Write up and pics.

Gutted I can't get it till 3pm due to work!!!

Have we had the CD will ALL the pics taken on the day from them yet?

I look forward to picking mine up this morning

Theresa needs to email Matt to get the CD, then we'll have the lot. I'm wondering if Dave has a subscription version? The website seems to indicate that the current issue is 185, so maybe 186 isn't in the shops yet?

Yes I started subscribing again, I have every copy since issue 1, and Italian Cars before that

Anita has been dispatched on a mission of searching WHS... I'm manning the fort to deal with four guys building a new fence and two guys delivering a new fridge.

The fact that I get to watch the F1 quali is purely coincidental.

im also dispatched Sam into WHS in Bedford!!

but sadly im working.. Hmm..BBC Iplayer...

Meh. Had to move a compost heat in Q1...

Doh! Bought Issue 185!

Moosey you dope!

Anita just returned empty handed.

Wait! Issue 186 is not out in the shops until July 13th, earlier for subscribers

Dave..... You just built hopes up for all involved then crushed them.

Sorry, I thought it only came out a day or two earlier for subscribers, not almost a week.

But it gives you a few more days to build up your hopes even higher!

Reminder, mag is on sale tomorrow

Just seen it, a pretty good article, but someone has stolen my turbo!

How come?

Will pick up my copy later today

WOW

they really did do us proud!!!


Dan, i cant believe what they said about being the only one with aftermartket wheels and destroying a beautiful car..

Marco - surprisingly metallic!

There now remain just three copies in WHS in Hemel.

That is rather a nice write-up, I thought.

Theresa - don't forget to remind Matt to send the images!

So I now have read. Hmmmm!!



Erm, look at Petes newly created 16v na

Nice write up indeed, the biggest thing for me was how yellow they made Begbies 16v (not-so-yellow) turbo.

Hurrah for paintshop

Might try to get hold of a copy of it myself.

Don't worry, I already have and Michael is supposed to be sending me a cd out

Trying to get a copy of the latest issue though is a flaming nightmare!

Hopefully my daughter will be picking me one up in WH Smith's tomorrow

Just got my copy.

Really good write up for the club. No steel grey coupe though!

ST

Sorry ST, they only wanted certain colours and all the greys/silvers weren't included in their requirements I'm afraid

It's worth buying the magazine to determine, once and for all, which model is the ultimate Coupe. From a professional and unbiased source.....

Send me your address details, cover the mag and p&p costs and I'll send you a copy over.

I haven't picked it up from her yet, but my daughter managed to get me a copy of it today

She made an effort too, as she said it took her ages to find it, as in the end, it was hidden behind loads of other mags and it was the last one too.

Bah.

You dont need to buy the magazine for that Roadking.

We all know the 16NA is the ultimate Coupe.

Apparently not according to

I prefer the hands on, well researched, knowledge.

Obviously a professional and unbiased source, though I note he didn't use the descriptor "ultimate", Neil

Excellent article and a good overall magazine. Well done folks on giving such a great impression of the marque/club . No green ones though....

Even had an Alfa Spider write-up which I found interesting as a new owner !

No Porto's either

Got my copy. I will be saving it to read it for my visit to the delivery suite at the JR.

Just got my copy in the mailbox. Thank you Hovedan! It's not an in-depth review of the Fiat Coupe - and probably all the better for it. It's a charming overview of the Fiat Coupe range and a splendid piece of advertising for our 'little' club here. Enjoyed it! Ooooh and saving the article about Mefistofele for this evening.

Back to work.

That's exactly how the feature was supposed to be, so they've obviously done a good job

Finally got a copy today after a bit of hunting. I even took a half hour detour home yesterday to find that smiths in Crewe was closed on a Sunday

Anyway, good article and a great ad for the car and club! Well done guys.

If anyone is still struggling to get a copy, drop me a PM, cover postage and I"ll sort one for you; local Smiths still has a few copies.

Any chance that offer is open to Malaysians?

So long as postage costs are covered then no problem.

Do you want me to get a quote for you?

Yes please. That would be great!

^^^ Give me 24 hours.

Send me a coupe you bitch!!

Ross

The disc arrived yesterday morning

I only had chance to have a quick look, but the photos are excellent.

I will pm everyone involved in the shoot sometime today

My local newsagent had a couple of copies last week - I will check tomorrow to see if there are any left. If anyone wants one let me know,

Tim

T, if need be, stick it on my webspace

Anybody got or is it still possible to get a copy of this Auto Italia edition?

Give their back issues people a call on 020 8655 6400, they will send you one in the post.

Well - 10 year thread resurrection

Got the back issue a few days ago and the featured coupes - where are they now?

MKZ 3426 - still alive and kicking
K2OUP - now an Audi but coupe could have gone back to original plate?
CFC213Y - now a BMW but ditto above
N96LAP - was alive and kicking until January this year.
N100ODD - still with us
N707GLF - was with us until October last year. Time to get your sleeves rolled up Neil

There's seven featured but can't make out the final registration. Is it yours Pete?

Anyway after 10 years not a bad tally and a credit to real enthusiasts

Isn't MKZ 3426 one of MCMike's? PeteP's is N96 LAP and Neil's (barnacle) is N707 GLF....IIRC

Beat me to it Dave!

N96LAP is very much alive and kicking Alan,

I just have not got round to getting it MOT'd yet: there didn't seem much point with lockdown, particularly as I have the X1/9 which is now 41 years old and thus free VED. I keep it permanently insured though

From memory the 7th car was one owned by HoveDan is Begbie's much modified 16VT (I have just read the article)
K2OUP may have belonged to HoveDan,
CFC metallic sprint blue was owned by Marco20valve turbo
N100 belongs to Roadking of this parish
The modified yellow 16V turbo belongs to Begbie.

Mine also appeared in issue 151 (Nov/Dec 2008) along with MCMike's trusty red LE , Will Bishop's modified silver 20VT and Luke Johnson's 171 mph modified Ink black 20VT.

Mine's been hiding in dry storage while I moved countries. Not a lot of point paying tax on a car I can't drive because it's a thousand miles away. It'll be back up and running before the July meet, with luck and a fair wind.

I though LAP was PeteP's?

This was Marco20vt which is no longer alive. It was scrapped

I took it for it's MOT this afternoon,. Result - a pass with no advisories again. I will tax it from May now it's more likely to be used.

Welcome result Pete

Glad to hear it passed ok Pete
