Coupe spotting area

ok head count again please !!!! LOL

Crikey ,here we are again home.....................Hope we can catch up with everone over here for our Easter get together.

It's gone quiet again Eyore!!

Pity the North and South have seperate threads. I'll keep an eye on this one and you guys can do the same with the North one. An Easter meet still sounds good.

darmtb, I'm back!

Hey I get the boat back on Thursday eve, you still wanna hook up?

Has anyone passed the NCT with a non-standard exhaust on their car???
Mine came with a supersprint from the cat back!!

Happy New Year everybody!!

I've just peassed the DOE emissions with my Land Rover Defender Td5 with a straight through system without a cat I'd say the NCT car test will be tougher.
Let us know how you get on.

A met red 98 CW plate with 17 or 18 inch alloy spotted in Galway City today !!!
The first time I've ever seen another Coupe on the road in Ireland!!!!

Darmtb I was stood at at the main entrance to Trinity the other week and had a Met Red 20V (poss turbo) pass me. There is deffo more than one!

I was on foot so no waves or flashes...

Sorry we didnt hook up when I was back, planning a trip over again soon - maybe for the Easter meet??

Most of them in Ireland are in Dublin!! I've seen a 6 or 7 parked at work, outside houses ,etc
But was the first time I ever met one driving on the road.

I'm in the west and as far as I know I have the only one in Mayo.
Damn my sercet is out!!

There's a chance it was the same one, I was talking to an owner that had a met red '00 in autotrader, who was from Carlow too!!?.
It isn't Geoff's one bacause Fishy Dave bought it and it's over in the U.K now!

The last headcount before the site went down had about 16-18 i think.

Nice job on the wheels by the way!!!

Ok folks, a head count again, and any other ones spotted in your area.

Mine in Mayo,
a yellow 20v?? around Silgo
and the Met red '98 CW with the big wheels that one I spotted in Galway on Saturday.

If any of you guys are interested the Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club (NIIMC) meet on the 1st Tuesday of every month in Lisburn, just outside Belfast. There are 3 coupe owners and lots of other members are previous Coupe owners. Im in the process of getting yellowcoupe from here to join. Its £10 membership for the year and you get 15% of Fiat parts from Mervern Stewart (Fiat Dealer). This year we are going to try and get to more shows. I know its probably a bit far for you guys but its a good place to talk Coupes face to face.

Link to site.

Don't forget me

98 20v Turbo (Speed Red) (Living in Greystones but is in the IFSC Dublin every day.

There is also a 98 20v Turbo (Sprint Blue) parked in the IFSC most days.

I know John Linnane motors owner (Fiat Specialist) owns a 97 20v Turbo (wine colour).

I'll keep an eye out but I'm sure there is an INK Black (LE) floating about the IFSC also.

ok 11 ish so far, eyroe has one in Clare and there is another in Limerick, both red, one n/a and one turbo

That make 12b Coupe's so far. I hate the number that should be there instead of 12b

Im in the wee county (Louth - Dundalk) and own a Sprint Blue 20VT.

excellent 14 so far!!, any more out there??

The Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club ( Niimc)
and the Irish section of the Alfa Romeo owners club are looking at organising an all Ireland Italian Car meet this summer.

What do you think??? should we have our Irish Coupe meet at the same time??
Your views please

No question about it, the Coupe meet should be arranged for the same date. The more people that are going the easier it would be to get people motivated to go. If its not to the summer I'll definatly be going as the Coupe should be well finished by then.

I spotted a silver LE in the centre of Cork when I was over in November and posted on the old forum - another one for you guys

I agree Ally!!! and we'll have the best looking and probably the fastest cars too!!
The Sally Gap run is a tad bumpy , is your car lowered?

Thanks Roly that make 15 Coupe's so far, exclusive cars over here or wot

Can't believe it ,havent seen one in months and tuesday saw 2 in the space of 3 minutes,both in Clarina,just outside Limerick on the N69.I wasn't in mine but passed a blue 20vt parked beside the red brick lodge and a graphite grey (don't know what model) passed heading out of Limerick with a 00-D reg.

the 00-D one sound like an LE I was going to have a look at during the summer!!
The talk on the other site about the meet is late May in Athlone!
Are you on for it Eyore?

Athlone would be fine for me Anywhere except Dublin

Athlone is a bit of a trek for us guys up north but have to agree with eyore that anywhere is better than Dublin. I suppose its as central in Ireland as you can get.

ok I have this posted on the Non-UK Events page.....

There is an All Ireland Italian Car Owners meet being planned at the moment for Saturday 20th of May at the Hudson Bay Hotel in Athlone.

Any and all Italian cars welcome!!! if it goes ahead we may as well have an all Ireland Coupe owners meet at the same event!! .

Check here or the Non-UK events board for more details closer to the date!!

Sounds like a definite date for the diary.

I have links to Alfaowners and NIIMC posted on the Non-UK events of this site Eyroe,
there's talks of it been changed (on the Alfaowners site) to County Louth!!!
About a 4 hour trip for me!!

Ah well!! "book it and they will come" including me!!
