Boosted7,Pwcovuk and BarmyBob,

Please can you sort out any photos showing the Sunday coupe parking area.
If you recall, the Spa Italia personnel put other types of Fiats into the Coupe specific area despite having the official plan shown to them.

Later on they made coupe owners park elsewhere after the Sunday track session even though there was space in our parking area.

They are needed by Baby_Cash as evidence in his discussions with the Belgian organisers.

Thanks.

Otherwise, glad you enjoyed the weekend, it was good fun.

Not too many pictures from me though as the camera packed up on Saturday.



Pete

Was that your Box Brownie Pete?

Can't remember whether brownies had boxes, I know wolf cubs had woggles.

Pete, here are two photos taken on sunday afternoon which show the so called coupe parking area:

Pic 1

Pic 2

Thanks, that's just the sort of thing he needs.

Well what can I say?

Ok the Hotel in Belgium was a bit; erm I think the term Basic would be a polite way of putting it

Then the weather on Saturday morning was horrible, grey skies and drizzle

Also the Local Belgian roads were / are a joke, even some of the motorways

And yes the Belgian organisers had absolutely NO idea of how to follow their own pre defined parking plan

But these things aside the weekend was FANTASTIC

The highlight, for me, was of course driving on the Spa circuit. No games console can ever give you the perception of height changes this circuit has to offer. We were also on track with all manner of Italian exotica, and enjoyed several laps chasing, passing and following a glorious sounding 12 cylinders of a Testarossa

We got to meet some smashing fellows From the French club, especially Mathew and Julian, two really nice fellows with matching Ferrari Red Coupes. Oh and not forgetting Babycash, and from Luxembourg Febster

Great to also meet up again with John (Fastjjs), Pieter (Alesi) and Sander from Holland, Johns caravan made a perfect Coupe base camp.

Can’t wait to hear about SPA 2009, I will also remain hopeful that John will come up with his planned CSP 2009 tour too

Pictures to follow when I gt back to the UK

Bob

Unfortunately I was only able to visit Spa on the sunday.
Nevertheless it was great to meet PeteP and my friend BarmyBob (plus his significant other ).

Now you know how to keep your engine bays clean hey boys .

Pieter I truly think your car is the Best Coupe I have ever seen, your engine bay looks better than new

With you thinking of selling I do wonder if I could live with a LHD Coupe in the UK.

Bob

Thanks for the compliments Bob.
You could live with a LHD, I'm sure.
Would be very helpfull on al those trips on the mainlaind you're doing

Hi guyz

I want to thank all the britans who came in Spa this past weekend.
As barmybob said the weather was horrible in the morning, but we were lucky that the sun appeared in the afternoon.

I am so sorry about the hotel : i did not think even a minute that you could be into trouble with them. The french had a lot of problem with the restaurant (i'm talking about the waitress who was a real bitch !!). The bedrooms were in bad shape too... But the pictures on the website looked differently...

Last year we went to another hotel which was really better, the food was great and the room too.
I choosed the cheapest way for you, but i did not think we could be received like this !

I wish you enjoyed your trip, and loved to drive on the track.

I'm sorry if i did not get introduced to the other britans (pwcovuk, boosted7, tez123...). I would have liked to talk to you guys.

I'm looking for all the pictures of that weekend. Could you post them here

Looks like you all still had a great time !!
What was the track driving like?
Is there a big Italian event on for next year?

I have finally got some Pitures up

Still got quite a bit of video to get through I am sure there should also be some nice image captures in that little lot

As for next year I am sure there will be a Spa Italia 2009

Also keep your eyes open for a CSP 2009 Holland tour, that should be fun too

Peter / Jeremy

What are the dates for the meet in the south of France?

Bob

Bob, It's the 26,27 & 28th September.

Link to the event on the French forum is here. ( In French though)

My French is not so good, but I managed to find their Pictures page

Bob your photos are wonderful ! I like them
Is it all you have ?
I want all your pictures. If you have some free time, send them to baby_cash@aliceadsl.fr

cheers mate !

There are a few more, all with higher resolution too. I will also have quite a lot of Video footage, but I still need to get that onto the PC

Might be best to send everything on a DVD

nice photos there Bob!

I have lots that I need to upload, but I'm currently on holiday in Sweden and the internet speed where I'm staying is reeealy slow, so I'll get there eventually.

Check out www.centrostileparts.com (link is in the news section) for some pics as well.

Some nice pictures there

John's engine bay is looking really nice, do you have one of yours too Pieter?

Bob

Sorry Bob, no pictures available.
Coupé is tucked away, so unable to show you a pic.
Will have a look in the archives.
Should be one in there somewhere.

Two more coop-shots at Italiaspeed website here

Some photos of coupe's on track:
