Ross won't be away for as long as you thought, Alaina!

He's forgot to load up a bumper and a rad, so he won't be going all the way to Cambridge

Great day guys and girls. Its good to meet everyone again and to have made new friends.

Big thanks to everyone involved, Ross and Alaina especially for organising this and also for pointing out on what can be improved on the car. Well done to all coopsters who showed up today and demonstrated how much more exciting we are as a community compared to the alfa's parked next to us! \:D

Matty, it must have been a bad radiator day or something as mine was also leaking! Thanks to Angelo for pointing out my empty header tank and Rob for checking it out for me. If it wasn't spotted and filled up before the judging, Alaina would have deducted my points for an empty tank for sure! \:D
Glad your dad enjoyed himself today Rob and thank him for me on the sandwich offer ;\)

Nice to have met Hubby and his enthusiastic and supportive dad. All the best on your coop ownership and hope to see you on the forum alot more from now. \:\)

Alaina, I didn' steal the form! You handed it to me! \:\)


Can I also suggest that we mount our FCCUK banner vertically next time. I think most people had the impression it was a picnic blanket rather than a club banner \:P
There should also be a rule next year against the usage of WD40 \:D \:D

Well that must rank as one of the best Scottish meets yet \:# . The weather didn`t look to promising on the road up but when we got there it was glorious . Nice to meet some more new faces and Coops too (I thought my engine bay would do ok till Hubby popped his bonnet up next to me \:\( think I need to get polishing \:D ). I must say that the show and shine competition has brought out the competitive streak in me now after coming 3rd in three of the sections ,can`t wait till the next one now.

I think we must have been the next best turnout after the Alfa`s as the field seemed a little sparse in comparison to the previous years (probably due to the Crail event drawing away all the smaller FIAT`s)

Big thanks to Alaina and Ross for organising the competition and also the Club for helping out with the awards too .

And congratulations to Kelv,Rob,Kev,Matty and Barney on winning their trophies,I think the competition is gonna be stiffer next year though \:D .

Baz \:\)

I`ll upload some photos later \:\) .

Hey guys better late than never but i'm very glad i made the effort to bring the car up and glad so many people liked it.

Bit dissappointed that Alaina didn't give me the best sticker award but maybe next time.

Lots of very well looked after coupe's as usual and brilliant weather to show them off.

Im really glad everyone enjoyed the competition! I really didn't know how it would have went down. I wasn't expecting so many people to have made such a big effort! I think i'm going to have to get a few more judges for next year as i reckon its going to be extremely tough!

OK now have Kelvs results (sadly) and it wouldnt be fair not to include where his positioning would be.

For all those who didt hear the rules. I employed a rule that you can only win one trophy. The reason being ive been to shows before that one car has taken all the trophies and it really leaves a bad taste for the event. This way allows for more than one winner. \:\)

anyway.....

Thanks everybody for their support. You guys really encouraged me to make the best out of the car \:\)

To make sure I hold on to the title for next year I would have to buy Cowboy's car off him and break it for parts \:D

Then again,i would have to buy EVERYBODY's car as I'm sure everyone is going to make their ride kick ass to the power of two by then \:D

BTW @ Barney , was that you stuck in traffic as we pulled out ? saw a blue coop

Yeah, went on a V Power detour and managed to join that queue right at the back... Made up for it later on though. ;\) \:D

The trophy was very much unexpected and therefore all the more appreciated. Car was prepared by Graham of Custom Detailers following Sparkyman's recommendation. Had no idea there were so many stone chips on the bonnet, until after it was waxed. \:o You all seriously put me to shame there peeps so look out for a de-badged and resprayed bonnet next year! Lovely collection of cars btw. \:#

Graham a nice guy isn't he Barney and seems to know his stuff.

Alaina and Ross have done a brilliant job by all accounts Well done.


Looked like there was a good show of coupes

Will definitely back to the next one if everything goes right this time.

Looking at the pics(lovely pics) and I just feel sad that I had to work....think Ill go out and wash the motor.


Ps. Kelv thought you weren't bothered about winning, it was the taking part that counts ;\)
