Really enjoyed today meeting most of the other coupe owners, quite good fun seeing the top gear filming and the masses following them around...
Well done James, your LE looked the business and so did the other two, hats off to all three of you for the effort in preparing your cars!
Great turnout for this show and being my first one I hope I can be forgiven for such a shite dirty engine bay. Seeing others gleaming has given me the kick up the arse needed to get the coupe looking good.

Got back a while ago and I'm knackered!

Great to see you all. Dunno about you lot but I'm feeling a teenie tiny bit rosey in the cheeks

That old boy who owned the Enzo was a champion. He arrived fashionably late, blipped the throttle all the way over to the Ferrari section, bagged it up on the grass, then casually stepped out and mumbled something about how it's bad for his back getting in and out of an Enzo

It was a great day out, and a strong showing for the coupes! I've got some photos I'll post up a bit later.

Another good meet, nice to see everyone again.
It didn't seem that sunny today but i certainly feel as if the sun got me.

Well what a great day out that was

First off the Committee would like to offer thanks to people. To those of you that helped out on the day, to those of you who helped with the organising and planning and also to our three concourse entrants.

There was a great club spirit today and I hope we are able to carry this forward to other events throughout 2008 and into the future

To be honest we expected about 15 – 20 Coupes today, so we were completely blown away to have counted well over 30 I had only printed 30 entry forms for the show and shine competitions

Club president Alexis (Begbie) and Mrs BB spent several hours looking over ALL the coupes and scored each car on a number of points in the following catagories, Exterior, Interior and Engine bay.

The winners were;

Exterior = MR C
Interior = carphone
Engine Bay = Cowboy

Each winner received a winner’s shield

We also had the peoples vote. All in attendance voted for the car that they would most like to go home with. This was very close with the cars of Jap and Cowboy running a close second, but it was the red LE belonging to TrevM that took the prize, well he didn’t actually take a prize because we forgot to bring it, it will be sorted though

Oh and I too have a red face, it must have been the flames on the BBQ

And for those that didn't attend - I passed on a fccuk card to none other than Jeremy Clarkson, so he may pop in....

It was nice to meet a few of you today. The Concourse cars were fantastic to see. I'll have to do better with mine next time. Roll on the September event at Gaydon.
I have to admit that I was one of the morons blindly following the Top Gear filming.

So glad I could make this, it was a great day! And I won a prize! Looking forward to the next one! Mr C

Took a few pics myself today. A great day, I didn't really stick around for long though. I was very impressed with everybody's coupes, some of the engine bays were immaculate...very jealous!

What a superb day. Great location, great company, great motors, great weather and a fantastic turnout. I counted 37 coupes at one point! I've been going to most Midlands events for years now and that was the best by far.

To win a trophy blew me away! - I thought (right until the moment I was beckoned forwards to collect the cup) there had been some terrible mixup or the whole thing was a joke. Amazing!

Many thanks to the organisers - the gazebo and club banner looked great. Thanks to those who got the barbeque lit as well - the kebabs were great.

I'll post up some pics in a bit.

James, if you want it I have a full-res version of your pride'n'joy on its way to collect the prize that should've been mine, y'git

Helloooo
my coupe was the dark metallic red one on the first row

Thanks for doing the video of me collecting the prize Nigel. I've got that saved away on my PC now so I can view it for years to come

James

James - I'll burn the hi-res video to a CD for you and drop it in on the way home

That was a nice looking coop (if it's the one I'm thinking of). Who's is T49 *** black 20VT? I voted you car of the day

i know this is prob the wrong place to ask this but how do i put a photo of my car as my signature??? im prob being a pleb

Yep, wrong place but this thread tells you how.

My pictures are HERE

Bob

That fellow was me - I was well chuffed to pick up a shield. If i ever sell my coupe then this "best interior" title has got to add £500 to the price lol

As mentioned by others a simply awesome meet, and thanks to all FCCUK organisers.

Thanks

Dan

Hi guys and girls just a quick note to say what a great day it was I really enjoyed it, my black LE will be back next year and I will even open the engine bay next time. Think the red LE that won the concourse is the bench mark for next years turn out. Also thanks to Richard for the 2 coupe convoy up from Banbury and then to the Alfa spider driver who I followed onto the M6 and left him for dust :-).

Oh did anyone see the red 16v "Rat look" coupe that had parked down by the Alfa's that was fairly busted up??

Just to echo what Bob said earlier, brilliant turn out of coupes yesterday, was really good to see 30+ coupes all looking gleaming and shiny

Big thanks to Bob for setting up the gazebo / banner / bbq / supplying the food whilst someone (me!) overslept Needless to say i managed to make it from Guildford to Stanford hall in just over an hour and a half, but took me over 3 hours to get home, bloody things in the road and people breaking down, grrr...

Anyway, here are my limited selection of pictures and no doubt myself and Nigel will be on top gear grinning like fools in the background

Piccies

Didn't get much Video work done yesterday, but did manage to get this

Bob

Was a really good day yesterday, good to meet some new people and have a nose around, bought home how much I REALLY need to get my wheels refurbed

Well done to Jap - I showed my mate's Dad around your car at one point, he's won Alfa Concours prizes 9 times in the past and was very impressed with the standard of your car.

Also well done to FCCUK - really good organisation and presence.

I think two of the three TG guys left with club cards, Clarkson got two - Taffy - your young lady wasn't backwards in handing them out!
