Aye, sorry. Thread drift!
TT are good guys. I’ve been doing drives and so on with them since ye olden Pistonheads days. There are usually some nice motors at the breakfast meets – Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris at the top end, Westfields, Caterhams, Lotuses, and some interesting ‘normal’ stuff like old Cossies and classic BMWs.
My Coupé drew some admiration last month, even though some of the chaps convinced themselves it was an Alfa …

Thanks Simon and my apologies for not starting a new thread. I'd really like to go but it's dependent on the wife/baby situation and subject to dry weather. Fingers (and legs) crossed!

I'll make it to this at some point but it won't be this weekend due to:
1) My power steering tensioner bearing sounds like a bag of spanners so coupe is going nowhere until I fix that and aux belts are already overdue so will probably do those as well 2) Rain is forecast for Sunday anyway

Congratulations Barney! Glad there's no more crossing of legs required. Looking kind of wet in the morning, otherwise brekky was looking like a good idea!

Cheers gents. Mum and baby OK and home safe. Determined to attend one of these TT meets. Will be working away end of this month so July is now the target.

Glad to hear all three of you are home and well. Congratulations! The TT meet was a big one considering the weather. Everything from a hot-rod Cortina to a brand-new 991 GTS. And the highest torque vehicle we’ve ever had – a demonstrator from Scania’s truck dealership! There are tons of photos up on TT’s Facebook page. Someone even got carried away and photographed the Coop …

I know nothing (John Snow) about Facebook. Are the photos open to view by anyone?

I think they’re all public, yeah. Can’t say 100% for sure how friendly Facebook is to non-members. Try here and scroll down for people’s photo posts: TT on Facebook Or maybe these links directly to a couple of the photo albums: TT’s own albumADM Productions’ album

FB doesn't appeal to me but might have to reconsider creating an account since so many groups / organisations are forcing it. The TT on Facebook link shows some cracking photos. Sadly I can't access the albums. Looks like a great way to spend a Sunday morning! Plenty of variety and an impressive turnout.

Yes I was looking for you or at least one other Fiat Coupe. Not a single one there sadly... Read somewhere there were a few complaints about aggressive driving towards the very end. Do hope a silly few don't spoil it for everyone else. With luck, see you at the next one. If it rains I'll just turn up in my daily and park it well out of the way!

Heh. My Coop *is* my daily …
I was helping my girlfriend move house over the weekend. No way I was getting up early enough to make the TT meet in the middle of all that heavy lifting!
