The first time you went to a coupe meet?

little trip down memory lane...

Where was it?
Who did you meet?
how long ago was it?

my first propper meet was in Shortly by the coast.. good times..
it was about 3 years ago? Remeber meeting Sir Barnacle, Barmybob, Jamie3 and loads of others..

good times!!

I think the first meet was the lakes meet, I got very lost! I was in the red 16vt

still looking forward to meeting you TuboVerde..
you coming to the AGM??

My first meet was a Midlands meet in 2007 there was me in a morris van, Lucifer and MattW.

I think mine was in 2004. We met somewhere first then convoyed to a pub near Gatwick airport? I think Fishy_Dave broke down in his Sprint Blue 20vt? Bobs was there, I can picture others but can't remember their names. Hanny?

My first ever meet was the second day i owned my old NA i went to the ace cafe, met nismo, said hello, how much for those plus wheels Two weeks later i brought them

I then went to the blue water meet at xmass and met joe (CC), Jake, Tolga, MrCooper, Julia, Bob and a few others.

Ha i remember when i met you Mario.. i blanked you at Brooklands!!!

why didnt it stay that way!!!

harsh Marco , very harsh

Mine was a rolling road day at Powerstation when it used to be in Cheltenham, this was back in 2002 ish, I think I remember Fishy Dave, Hanny, Nigel and Taz, oh and one of Begbies many Frankentipo creations that just kept popping off boost hoses.

i take it Barnacle is checking his mayan calender to see when he came to a first meet

I was talking about this just yesterday!

Where was it?
No idea!

Who did you meet?
I remember speaking to a guy with a Black coop who had just joined the forum but left soon after. Next owners to arrive were Civic_Legend and Tom. I think there's a vid of Tom's exhuast spitting flames in the car park somewhere...

how long ago was it?
Must have been the Summer or Autumn of 2004 just after I bought the thing?

My first one was at Star City in Brum, around 2004.

Only remember a couple of peeps, Paul (motormech), MCMike, Jap and Wackers.

We followed Mike in convoy to a rather splendid pub for a meal and a pint

Got pictures somewhere.

I thought it was one of the midlands meets, but realised it must have been Stanford Hall 2008. That was the one when Top Gear arrived and jap won the concours.

I don't remember who I met there, there were nearly 40 coupes though. I do remember seeing cowboy's engine bay though, I think it won a prize?

Cat and fiddle August 2006 - I had a yellow 20vt taht was broken so I turned up in my Bravo HGT. T and C2D were there and Pinin and lots of others who I can't remember...

A bloke from Blackpool with a yellow Plus making big BHP rings a bell - maybe cowboy - did he have a green coupe with green pipes??
I'm sure there was a sprinty with matching rocker and pipe work too....
Think on tHE way home there was a 16vt racing with a Type R with me trying to keep them in sight.

Back in the day.....

It wasn't August it was October......

Ah Lucifer - he went on to a Monaro - and pipped me at buying a belting electric blue plus! I'm sure the plate was M8 OVE or similar

This is it

And on some of C2D's photo's you can see my wine red Bravo. Those were the days when lots of peeps turned up! I was Rab_himself in those days (first coupe, lost my password, changed e-mail accounts yadda yadda yadda)

That subsequently went to MrT and the ongoing tale of its transformation into a mid engine coupe is in the projects area.

Wow, I'm sure it was 370 bhp 6 years ago! And It still lives!

I wonder if this was the one which was my first too, but if so JBT gwar was there with his bravoturbo, and the pub was in lichfield? we sat outside on a nice day?

I also remember the guy in the blitz blue 16vt but can't remember his name on here, but think it starts with c. And i dont mean Marco

The first meet I did in my coupe was Tatton Park and we won the best stand and TrevM won a trophy for best Fiat. That was in 2007 I think also.

That was the one. I think the blitz blue 16vt is in one of my pics. Will post them up tomorrow.

Well, I don't quite recall the exact date, but I think that the Nile was in flood, Ahkenaten was on the throne, and my bandages were still reasonably clean.

I remember my first meet very well. I was chasing barbz in the early days of his red coupe and past a smoking yellow 16vt.

That was the day that begbies monster began! I think it was a pub near gatwick.

Mitcar 2009. About 15 coupes, i think. The people I remember most are Barmybob and the lickyls.

Took some decent photos, too.
here

2000 in Belgium when I had my Sprinty for 4 months. 2001 in Surrey with DaveG and James, Scooby and Bobbs and Marco (the real Marco, not that Italan fake we have on here now). Oh and Burnsy who was on his fifth engine and took me for a spin, immediately destroying that engine as well. Wasn't in my Coupe anymore though. 2002 meeting Jimbo mentioned was where the Club came to life, was there in my Punto to witness Begbie's brick.

Surprised you were there......

I think that was my first meet also ? I was in my van with Gill. Shifty and watz her name with the yellow coupe,Jake changed her plugs and reset her door ?

Yes, that was the first time we met you Joe.

If you remember, Julia arrived with a straight off the press front cover of the 2009 club calendar to show us.
It would have been Vickster with her yellow coupe.
