Fully agree.
Sam, it was a real pleasure meeting you.

Had a great weekend at Spa, now back in Calais for earlier ferry so kids won't get back too late. Parade laps were, errm, interesting, but fast laps were great, although my brakes need some attention now. Great to catch up with old and new forum people, thanks for you company, and many thanks to PeteP and rest of club who made it happen.

Seen some of the Pictures on FB, seems like the put you in the area where the Ferrari club used to be. Was that an upgrade?

Just wanted to say what a great weekend we had meeting all you guys and girls at Spa! thanks Petep for organising
Big Thanks to Hovedan for the coolant cap which saved my bacon and we made it home with no puddles!
will try and post some photos and maybe some video tomorrow.

A really fantastic first-timer's experience in spite of apprehensions of getting under everyone's feet, made the more enjoyable by re-acquaintances and meeting stalwarts old and new

Thanks to Pete for the organisation again after last year's disappointment

+ Joe for his help over the brakes, LH Neil for the tow-eye skill, Dan for handing in the chalet key tomorrow (subtle reminder ), Reuben for the mozzie-bite parade, Sam for some nifty Bee-keeping, amongst all the others that made it fun including the inhabitants of Stavelot who have an excellent restaurant in Figaro as well as a murky past of pointy noses and pigs' bladders

A big thank you from me aswell, to Pete firstly and also everyone else I met - it's not too often, being swedish!
Have a lot of pics and clips from sunday mostly which will come up once I'm back home, next(next) week.

Cheers all for an excellent experience
More comments later, I'm beached and off to bed, just in from the late ferry after dropping off my Dad, who also thoroughly enjoyed the weekend away.
Now time

Hello guys.
Really good weekend !!!
We didn't speak a lot with you but we are too much !!!
No crash, no big big problem where a member needs to stay because the coupé is broken ... No !
In france just LoT20 has broken his gearbox but solved with RegisT20 towing plate.
I would like to create a picture/video server on Picasa. Are you agree to follow and share this album with yours ?

Regards.
Grib

First time for me and it was fantastic. Great company, great weather and great atmosphere. I had a quick look through the 700+ photo's when I got in and there is some great ones in there (thanks to Nobby and Johnny for taking the photo's!) and I'm in the process of repairing the footage from my video camera, so hope to have some footage up soon.

Neil, there may have been a couple of people who spun at Pouhon

Glad to hear you all had a great time! So whats this about the parade laps? Spill the beans....

What? That is was the biggest Italian car park and not a lot happened, or that I kept level with a 458 down the kemmel straight?

This thread is useless without pictures!

To whom do I owe beer?

Hopefully there should be video of one as I was following him (Nick) and there is me, which Johnny has on video, albeit he filmed the dashboard as we went off and backwards!

As I explained above,

I have created a server account on Picasa for every members of Fiat Coupé Club :

Very Important, Please NOT TO TELL the pass to anyone, simply not to see our pictures and videos deleted by a badboy ...

Thanks Gribouilly, I was teasing Alexis! But you have PM.

You *and* Lashes? Damn, you're both in range for beer! You'll be going to Brooklands in a fortnight?

They do get a bit light at the back around that corner if you're trying hard, don't they?

lol , no its just lack of driving skill

what a great weekend , good to meet up with everyone again and enjoy a great track , lets just hope there is a Spa 2015 .

Hope the Spa 2015 will be cheaper because very very very expensive even if it's incrediblely famous and amazing.

Greg, just realised I didn't need the password just to see the pictures - duh.

Got back at exactly midnight last night, and I'm dying on my feet at work after making it in at 7am. Nearly 900 miles travelled over the 3 days - albeit the majority as a passenger.

Huge thanks to Begbie for letting me hitch a lift and scaring me half to death around Spa - you've got an awesome car mate (apologies again for the snoring).

Some great tussles with the other coupes and enthusiastic driving. Great as always to see some familiar faces. I have some super memories (some of them a little blurry) from the nights out and 2 days at Spa. It doesn't seem to have changed much since my last venture in the mid 80's.

Spa, waffles, Jupiler and randy pensioners. What more could you want?

Grib, Thanks for Sharing your photos, just noticed you were behind me in the queue to start the 1st session on track (not for long :))
For some reason I had the sun roof wide open ! Extra down force maybe

Another fantastic weekend of fun, frills and frolics!

Biggest thanks to Pete for his organisation of this event, without his efforts this wouldn't happen REALLY hope this isn't the last even and the track owners don't ramp up the prices in future

Nice to meet a few more faces off here (I didn't think that was possible!)

And a big thanks for the company and everyone who joined in Jodies birthday celebrations on the Sunday. Cake, chips, witches, the potato, Nick the Greek and a bit of culture in Stavelot as always!!

Now have a few days in Bruges to wind down, have a Belgian beer or five and explore. Part two of the holiday starts now

Love that orange coupe!

Gill & I are just home now. 12 hours campsite to home 900klm.

Pete thanks again for sorting out this years Spaitalia.
For various reasons i think its been one of the best one's.

Great to see everyone new faces and old.
Had some great laughs with you all and the memories will stay with me forever.

As for my coupe,well lets just say im over the moon with it.

What a fantastic weekend, it was great to meet up with Coupe folk old and new.

We had a mega Jupiler session on Friday which led to arrival at Spa around midday Saturday - only to be directed straight onto the circuit for the parade laps ! ....result

I clocked up 242,000 miles during the weekend and the old girl was still going great guns

Fingers crossed we can do it all again next year, thanks to Pete for organising the event and to everyone else for their great company

Good to see every one enjoying themselves again. I think we struck lucky with the weather for so late in the year.

SpaItalia put out a press release today. Here is the lead image.

Cick on this and zoom.

DaveG, Gimmo, Gribouilly and Begbie's cars are very recognisable in the parade.

Can't see Gimmo's. Must be camouflaged

Ah that must have been on a Sunday when a few of us had the car park parade:) great photo though

Very nice pic!
Makes up for the waiting.. Just!
