20vtwhistle Discoverer 2 Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 45 scotland	Hi all, I'll be there but not sure which car in. I may have a new one one by then. Raised the rear entrance on the Alfa Forum and got a reply that the exotics only got in the good way because of ground clearance and not because of favouritism! Replied with a sarcastic comment stating hope no one has lowering sports springs then. Hey presto, no reply. That entrance round the back is a good idea but the track/road needs work. I think I'm getting grumpier as I get older. Is anyone going to Tartan Tarmac at Eurocentral on the mate from 9.30am on 29th March?

(Yet) Mind you, the turnout is dependent on the weather and I'll be in my Alfa Gt. If its no good its only a couple of miles up the road from Livi. Reason I ask if anyone is going is I want another look around a good coupe as had one in the past and looking for a new toy, which will probably be a V6 GTV, but the Coupe does still turn my head. Be nice to meet other Italian metal fans too before catching up in May at Carnie. Have a good evening all.

He has also agreed to level out all the road and entrances and put down hard core on the track. Have we any more takers for this? BumbleBee carer

MADCooP Unregistered M	Having just put my car back on the road after a long spell SORN, it was always my intention to attend this meet. I have been looking forward to being amongst fellow enthusiasts again, seeing old faces and new whist perhaps laying a few of my coupe paranoia issues aside at the same time. I will be a definate show with my two boys and possibly another two (mmm 5 people/4 seats ) but am undecided as to whether my car shall be left in the car park or not. Having just about convinced myself my not so clean car was in fact not that bad (she's 18yrs after all) I put her in the garage to avoid damaging her whilst I moved some slabs round my drive. You can imagine my shock when I pulled her back out to find 2 large fench post offcuts and a trolley wheel had come crashing down from the heavens, scratching the roof, door glass and rear quarter not to mention the three dents on the door skin, the worst of which being right on the angle at the top of the panel. An impossible repair unfortunately! I can always paint and fit a new door, but that won't happen before SICD, so am really not sure what to do. I suppose my pride is probably more dented than the door. Either way I am looking forward to a good day out! And some clean cars..lol Last edited by MADCooP; 24/04/2015 23:09.

Much easier to keep clean in the back bedroom! Another job on the to-do list. If I'm honest, I believe I would rather be putting them in another (somewhat cleaner) coupe. Though mechanically, the one I have has always been good to me! Was pretty mad realising that it had been 5 years since my last mot Hope your car is still going well and looking every part as good as it always did. Would be good to grab a catch up and a pie at one of these meets sometime. Last edited by MADCooP; 01/05/2015 21:21.

Dante Giocosa 3. ?Barney? 4. 20vtwhistle 5. ?poprock? 6. ?MADCoop? We're asked to be there by 10.00 and it takes c.55 mins to get there from MacDonald's this side of the Forth Road Bridge where we meet before convoying to the event. I reckon we leave there at 0915 and arrive 1010 Route - I'm thinking A92, A91 to Cupar then head north to the Farm. Think it's shorter than the one we took last year. BumbleBee carer

I think some of that mob may meet up at Krispy Kreme at Hermiston Gait, I will drop a note on here nearer the day in anyone wants to tag along. Sorry I havent bought a coupe. I am 99% certain its going to be a V6 GTV. I hope you dont all mind if I stick around on here as I am positive I will have a Plus in the future To match the GTV. Thanks chaps. Russ.
