I know there's an events forum, but it's very lightly trafficked and I think a gathering like this needs more pride of place. The Coupe scene is well and truly alive internationally.

A whole bunch of Malaysian owners gathered outside the entrance of the F1 circuit at Sepang to commemorate the 20th anniversary. Was a great day!

What a turn out! I'm really liking the gold Coupe too

Interesting to see the different selections of alloy too.
Looks like a great event

Nice selection of wheels in the first picture! But what happened to the front of the blue coupe?

Snubbed by a trailing arm?

I count 26 coops, that's incredible as well as the organised layout. The pearly white stands out in particular

It's occluded by something in front of it - looks like a reflection in the back bumper of a coupe...

Very nice photos! But in photo 2 i notice there is only one breakdown truck for all those coupes!

Excellent photos and excellent turn out too

Lovely pics there, Its a tree in front.

Great stuff, wish we could get a turn out like that over here

Some excellent pics there.

What a great selection of Coupes.

It would be great to see that many together in Australia, which would just about be the total number here.

Fantastic, a real joy to see

Well done to all involved

Thanks for the love chaps. We had a great turnout because:

1) It's a 20th Anniversary meet, so even if you don't come for any other meets (and believe me, there are many who don't), you'd come for this one. We printed event t-shirts, Kelv organised a competition, and we had a raffle with oil filters given out as prizes etc. Wasn't just a typical weekend meet-up.

2) We had use of the F1 circuit main entrance for a photo shoot, and after that we went over to the paddock to join in the festivities there. The Renault dealer had a trackday for the local Meganes going on and we were invited along to eat and schmooze.

3) The vast majority of the Coupes in Malaysia are centered around the KL region, so most people don't have to travel very far. We did have a few come from out of town (100-200 miles), but the majority lives less than a half hour drive away from our rendezvous point. This is definitely not the situation in the UK!

Very nice.
Looks like everyone has a sunroof overthere.

I love sunroofs; mind you they can be pants if the relay has come loose and it starts to rain. A swift bash on the passenger side of the gearbox console usually works

Bet they leak like chuff in the monsoons!!

Believe it or not, my sunroof haven't missed a beat in all it's 240000km's, no leaks either.
Fab photo's again!

Lovely looking cars there. Spoilers are popular, funny how trends differ.

Fantastic pics.

Great and also well taken pictures, must of took a bit to organise with the turning circle of the coupe not the best , well done guys.

So many coupes all looking great, reminds me of the times when we used to get near enough thirty coupes to the lakes meet. Good times

Hope you guys are taking care of the Kelvster

The majority of the Coupes on the road here were available in only one spec: Plus with sunroof. The only option was colour! Though I don't think there's a single Sprinty or Murple in the country.

I take it the average Malaysian is shorter than the european then..?

I'm being bullied here Ronster! Come save me. Bring your coop as well and be the only original sprinty in town

Anyway, pics of the folks that made the day possible.


The good folks at Alfa Romeo Owners Club came along to help us marshal on that day too. Big thanks to them.

I believe there are two or three at the front who may have lied about their age...

Especially the one on the right who clearly wishes to be "off grid".

Haha, I thought so too. I did tell them that booster seats and 'Broomstick actuated pedals' didn't look very cool in a coupe

He gets three meals a day in the dungeon we keep him chained in. So yes he's well taken care off.

How difficult is it to get Malaysian nationality?

Depends who you vote for

Here's a video from that day:

Great video Looks like you had a great time. Nice to see all the individual variants.

Looks like a nice part of the world! I had a stop over in KL at Xmas on my way to and from Manila. (I did look out at the roads just in case !) Maybe next time I'll take a couple of days to see the actual country.

Excellent stuff.

Looks like a great day, all the cars looked fab, keep it up guys

Hey guys, KL is like Glasgow, we have puddles.

LE 16 is looking good buddy , still keeping it in tip top condition, must say you have put some weight on, also slightly balding only slighty though, the grey dosen't help the matter right enough xx


The old boxer shorts trick gets it nice and shinney

Thanks Ronster. I think it's the lack of Glaswegian air that makes my hair follicles lazy.

LE 16 isn't quite as shiny as it used to be though...quality of cottons found in boxers here just isn't up to scratch to good ol' Govan Cotton!

Did you see that conspicuous fondle towards the end of the video? Think Kelv has gotten a bit dodgy since he left Glasgow...

nice to see no16 with the man that made it what it is,god some shinny coupes there nice vid and nice to see you still with the coupe Kelv,its been one hell of a long journey.

Since he left Glasgow....

Did the Kelvster not tell you why he had to leave in such a hurry....myself, well I quite enjoyed his fondle x

It was the postman that had enough and reported him to the law and then they all came out, think in one way or another, we over here have all be touched by Kelv x

I recall Kelv's leaving do, when he tried to pay the bill and no one could change his mind, until Steamer started to strip, that took his mind off paying the bill.

P.S. Steamer is a bit of a stud right enough x

^ another peep with a fondle habbit ^

i have suffered

Lol Poor Ronnie

and another one


x

Ahh yes... A trait I picked up in Glasgow



It's not our fault that you're so squeazable, Ronnie ......but.. I thought you said they were only for me



It's the chest hair I tell you. Anyone that catches a glimpse of his magical forest would have succumbed to it . I wanted to pack him in a box, stick a fragile sticker on it, and ship him back with me. Alas, common sense got the better of me. I would have never been able to afford the hair conditioners needed to maintain those Tom Selleck lovelies




Nice to hear from you again Karl! You've been quiet. One long journey indeed. I hope you still have your coop? Any new green components?
Seriously mate, if you brought your car here, your engine bay would have blown everybody's out of the water.
