It looks like the Italian and German Coupé clubs are having a Nurburgring event, whilst the French guys plan to be at the SPA Italia weekend. The SPA Italia weekend will be the deciding factor. Once those dates are released we will need to speak with the persons organising the Nurburgring event and see if they would be interested trying to book a consecutive weekend (Before of after SPA). We could then plan some other events / trips for the days between, like you say John Dusseldorf, Brussels, Aachen and Cologne are all within 1 hour drive.

This would allow the event to appeal to all people and their differing budgets. So how do I find out: 1. Who is organising the German / Italian ring event? 2. Who to speak to from the French Coupé contingent? and 3. What town is within easy traveling distance of Spa and the ring? Last edited by Barmybob; 19/11/2007 09:58.

fastjjs Unregistered F	I think Eifel will be most sufficient and cheaper than Ardennen, good food, low prices for hotels reasonablenable 3-4 star hotel with huge breakfast will be around 60eur for a double bedded room. Dinner buffet eat as much you can for around 15 eur.p.p. @Bob (Better food and hotel than CSP meeting 2006) I will check camping sites too.

Otherwise I am a member of that forum and can liase with them regarding Spa. Pete. 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet.

As you understand, the dates have to be confirmed by the circuit of Francorchamps in respect of the FIA calendar. I was told couple of days ago that the final dates for SpaItalia will be released in few days but no later than 2nd week of December. Anyway, it will take place in June and I'll inform you as soon as confirmed. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I'm looking forward to receiving you in Francorchamps. Kind regards, Jean-Pierre Magalhaes So it looks like we should have the Spa dates confirmed within the next couple of weeks Gone Audi mad!

Barmybob OP Hon Club Member: 003 Je suis un Coupé B Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 8,064 South Cambs	Mark We are trying to arrange a meeting of Coupé owners / clubs at the Annual SPA Italia event. Spa Italia is a big meeting for Italian car clubs from all over Europe and should prove interesting to most any car enthusiast. I am told that the French Coupé club are already planing to be at this event so it just the rest of us that need to be there. I fully agree that it will be cool if we can get a large Fiat Coupé attendance at this event. If we do get this event arranged we then also plan to arrange for some events, trips and shopping during the week after. If possible we would also look to arrange a trip to the Ring during this week or the following weekend. I must stress that I don't hold any official capacity within the UK Coupé club, but I am more than willing to arrange the UK section of this visit / trip. Generally UK attendace at Euro Meets & events has been rather poor. I will do my best to get my fellow countrymen involved with this one though $\:\)$ Gone Audi mad!

So i'm the french dude who planned the meeting in 2006. it was the 1st time i planned a meeting. Finally we were 25 coop during the weekend. I booked an hotel, booked the tickets, the grande parade sessions...etc... So in 2008, the FIAT COUPE CLUB NORD (french club) along with Febster (the webmaster of http://fiat-coupe.org, who knows the organisator of SpaItalia) and of course FCCUK if you are interested will plan the trip (road, hotel, tickets, grande parade sessions, track sessions) etc.. It's also possible to book a track session only for our Coupés (imagine this thousands of people watchin us on the track ! ) All our cars will be parked in the parkings inside the track, together...a place just for the Coop ! it was awesome in 2007 but in 2008 it's going to be even better. So right now, we have no days. we keep in touch

Baby_Cash Enjoying the ride Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 421 Lille - FRANCE	Febster didn't told you that he is planning to book some track sessions only for the Coops. As it is written above, only us could drive on the track. During the weekend, the track is available for different sessions : - Grande Parade : hundreds of cars are on the track with some pace cars in order to limit the speed. It cost about 35-45€ an hour. You are limited to 120kmh... - Scuderia : no speed limit... 90€ per hour I think what febster is doing for us is unmissable. We won't get the track for the same price at the same event.

Seriously: shouldn't you be getting this on the road by now. On saturday 28th of June I'll be visiting the Moto GP at the Dutch TT with a few of my mates. Everything is organised and payed for already. I do plan to attend to the Spa meeting on Sunday

Sunday the 29th will actually be the very last day of them. So spending that day at Spa and meeting up with you again would be the icing on the cake $\:#$ Now get this thing on the road and organise a massive invasion of fccuk-ers to this event.

They are putting together a package including entry, coupe only track time, accomodation and dinner Saturday night. As soon as we have the details sorted it will be posted here.
