ok... sounds great guys... but my coupe is sick again hopefully ill have her sorted by then... also ally would u mind pm-ing me the details of that coupe specialist you told me about?

Iain

1-ish sound good, gives eveyone a good change to get to the venue.

my coupe is up and running again, albeit not overly well but i'd say ill still be there

Iain

Hi all,

not much talk on this thread lately.

Any new coupes coming along?

Really looking forward to it.

Have we any routes in mind down there are do any of the locals know or suggest a good one.



CollieD

I must get onto the guy in Galway again to see if he'll go along.

Ally I still have those pace notes I wrote up on the back of my map book from Edgeworthstown to Athlone.
Do you still want them?

I think I'll be the only Coupé on the Rosscommon road going to the meet!
Hard luck on the seats CollieD

Its going to take a miracle for me to get there in the coupé at this stage,entire engine strewn around the garage,but I'm taking the opportunity to check out everything while the engine is out and am going to do a proper job that will last.
Might make it there in something else to say hello.

Guys, sorry to have to say 2 things,

1. I cant make it on the 29th as her goodself will be away and
2. I have to put the LE up for sale as I cant sell my 5 series so I'm trying now to sell the coupe. It's on Carzone or give me a call, 086 2760669 .... sad times !

Bugger, sorry to hear that LEMan!!

We're getting close, so it would be good to confirm who's attending:
1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub?
3. Jamesy
4. BigIan
5. yellow_coop?
6. Gerryh
7. CollieD ?
8. Skodaman
9. darmtb

I plan to attend, although my clutch is a bit iffy ... if it gets any worse between now and Friday I may back out as I have to get my car to South London on this clutch

I am definite.

Also as polled prevously bro should be tagging along in
CTR! If thats okay with all.

Lookin Forward to it!

CollieD

Don't forget that the clocks go back an hour this weekend - so an extra hour in bed ... no excuses (other than clutch related ones )

Or wrecked engines ? Might be able to to make it in something else.

aye man im in the same situation man... engines fooked!

I could make it in the pick up!

Iain

PS david u got msn or any of you other irish coupe owner, mines focusmaniac@hotmail.com

i was hoping to be there but cant make it,coupe only back from the dead after a lot of time,effort,money and patience (you need alot of that with these f.... cars) and it has to go back grrrr

OK guys time to take stock. Thats quite a few people that cant make it. I don't want to drive half of Ireland for only a few people to turn up.

Everyone needs to make a decision now on whether or not we go ahead, and how many people will be there?

I would say a cut of point of Friday so that if we're not going ahead then at least everyone can plan something else for the weekend.

The coop list now looks like:

1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub?
3. Jamesy
4. BigIan
5. Gerryh
6. CollieD + CTR
7. Skodaman
8. darmtb

It would be good if the other people on this list, who haven't already done so, confirm.

I can still make it............

I'll be there, but 2Advanced can't make it this time.

OK who else from the north is for going? If its a goer then we need a meet point and a plan of action. I'm still up for the cut of point of Friday evening as I need to be able to make arrangements in time if to enable me to go.

Yes all.

We need definites now as it is a Bank Holiday weekend and if not enough going we need time to make other plans.

I think we should have a final count today.

CollieD

OK, I'm in ... clutch doesn't seem to be any worse! The list is as follows:

1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub
3. Jamesy
4. CollieD + CTR
5. darmtb

So 5 coops and a CTR. Hopefully BigIan, Gerryh and/or Skodaman can make it too. I'd say we go for it. It's gonna be the new year before we could arrange something again.

The list is well down.

Although 5 coupes aint bad can anyone else make it.
These five on the list are definites. There is no point
in anyone pulling out after this list is compiled.

The more the merrier,

CollieD

Me & maybe another Dublin Coupe.

1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub
3. Jamesy
4. CollieD + CTR
5. darmtb
6. Skodaman

BigIan?
Gerryh?
Mysterious coop from Dublin?

OK, Count me in ..... and all me to the list for Sunday.

1. Allystew + 1
2. Davidub
3. Jamesy
4. CollieD + CTR
5. darmtb
6. Skodaman
7. Gerryh

BigIan?
coop from Dublin?

OK so 7 definites and a CTR - that's a good few coops. See you all at 1pm (don't forget the clocks change) in the Hudson Bay car park.

Well done to GerryH (I think that was the name) that got the coupe meet
on the national airwaves.

The meet was mentioned twice on Martins morning show on
Today FM this morning. You never know that could pull a
few out of the woodwork.

CollieD

O.K. So how do I get to Athlone? What general direction do I go?

Hi Jamesy,

the best way to get your route is to go to www.aaireland.ie and then go to route planner. Place your origin and your
destination and it will give you the best route and the overall route time and also the list of all the roads.

Very handy indeed.
