In my defence it has been an unsual and trying time for me and my family. Gutted. It was only the other day I was sitting on the Erskine Bridge contemplate life with my walkman, when I heard Snap, The Power and thought of Nick & Mike and smiled to myself, or as I like to call them, Girly arms x I will need to know if Matt and T actually get it on, it's like Dallas all over again but better x Could you pass on my apologies to Rob, Angelo(chubbs) and Sofia x and all the staff who might recall me. I'll also miss how involved Rob and all the lovely staff are with the crimbo tree,it's a sight to behold, can't possibly be better than last years effort ! I hope each and everyone of you have a safe journey and a great night, I'll be thinking of you's xx Catcha soon x Similar sentiments from Kim and I. This is our first time missing what usually turns out to be the best meet of the Coupé calendar . Hopefully we'll make it along to next years Xmas meet (and other meets!) and safe journeys to all our Coupé friends . Baz Project LE+

Truly gutted none of you can be there this year Jack, I'll try and find the Moo bar and look for you before 7.30pm. I'm sure you'll recognise and see me before I spot you, or just look for my car driving along a main road and just open the door and get in it like the first time we met

Gutted you can't make it Ronnie, you'll be sadly missed. Baz and Kim, cowboy, and steamer too. Hope you can all make the annual pilgrimage again next year. Safe journey to everybody travelling today, I'll try and make it worth your while Well done Dave, the broom plus lives This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Bob as well The king distance brigade certainly outdid the locals this year. Though that did help us with getting down to some serious drinking with Sparkyman not around Big thanks to Rob. The food was great and the service excellent. So good we came back for lunch today Overall a great time, definitely worth the trip and the annual pilgrimage. I'll be back next year for certain!

We nearly didn't make it as the Red LE had clutch problems so had to be substituted for the Crono at the 11th hour...she performed admirably.

Shame about the poor local turnout but the long-distance travellers made up for it. Glad everyone got home safe and sound, was a bit worried when I saw a police checkpoint breathalysing drivers at the north end of town. Hope to catch up with you all again at a meet in the new year. This is how it should have come out of Torino!

If you know you're going to be attending, then it'll be worth booking now
