Hi all put itv weather on ten minutes ago and just before the forcast came on there was a picture of the coupes outside the cat ;fiddle 'so tune in to ITV tonight could be there again' well chuffed.

You have a very nice electric blue Coupe.
One of my fav colours.

Andy.

Was it a CrimeWatch type programme?

Possibly one of mine. Lesley emailed me this morning to say the granada weather team had asked for any pictures of snow in Buxton. Mine are all big files so I asked her to pick two out and send them off. This is her email back to me

wicked! sounds like it was a great meet even if the weather was terrible. gutted I couldnt make it

I'll be there for the next one.

Cool as fccuk!

Just seen the Coupes in the layby outside the Cat and Fiddle before the 6.30 weather

Martyn

well, I decided to catch up with the news online

http://www.itvlocal.com/granada/news/

if youre quick you might still catch it there, before they update it with a new one. skip to about 4 minutes, its just after that.

Yep, just seen it, and brill !!!

Andy.

4mins 23secs

I was working, but my Mum text me at 6.30pm

She's usually useless with cars, but her ears had pricked up at the sound of Granada mentioning the Cat and Fiddle and when she looked up she said she saw what looked like a flash of my car.

She text me and said she'd seen what looked like my car on the weather report

After coming home and checking out the report, I can see it wasn't my car, but I've text her back saying I'm impressed with the fact that it was actually the same make and model as my car

I was expecting to see a blue coloured Ford Focus or something, knowing what she's like with cars

16 mins 55 seconds now

Chris,

Thanks for making me famous ! & thanks for being brave enough to go out in that weather

Really chuffed my coops been on telly

i was home in leeds in an hour and 20 (and i'd picked my kids up)
had a good run obviously and wasn't speeding at all

Well done chris good quality pictures.

A few thank you's if I may;

To Andy (Sumplug) for organising this - along with C2D. Think everyone there agrees it was an excellent Meet with new faces etc. Special thanks to Andy from Mrs MABR for the very considerate driving - much appreciated.

To Mrs MABR (Julie) for agreeing to drive Bella for me - ta love!

To Chris (C2D) for the excellent photos (again) and for putting FCCUK on the Regional Weather Map - literally!

To everyone else who was there for a really warm welcome and concerns about my health - very humbling.

An excellent day despite the weather. Ended up being not so much a Mini Meet but a full scale one.

Thanks Craig. Much appreciated.
Lovely pics Chris as always.
Well next year, i think the mini meet should become more regular. There are loads of places in the North West to see and travel along.
Bring on 2008!

Andy.

You may be onto something there Andy........how about a Christmas shopping trip to Hawkshead & Keswick

What, to the 'ONE' shop!!
A good place to meet and set off somewhere, is the Trafford Centre. Nice big car parks.

Andy.

There's more than one shop in Hawkshead, plus it's an *interesting* driver's road


By the time the *significant others* reach Hawkshead they are always too shaken up by the journey to spend any money: result!

Yes women and shopping. Only time i have walked any distance backwards, being dragged along.

Andy.

^^^ Mrs MABR reckons you should be so bloody lucky!

Does she now!!!
