Could have been me back in Nov 06' if it was the bumper would have been held on with insulation tape,,,,,i consider that a substantial step up from bailer twine. Mine is a 98 D 20v red recently painted and stuck back together, new timing belt etc looking foward to the next 50k.

Are you parked on the north mall???? Nice dark Grey le parked there often.

Also a blue 20v I used to meet on the Douglas road in the mornings.

Another red 20v 98-C **** West Side of the City, we have waved, its too much of a coincidence.

Yellow coop in mallow passed me on the mallow road month’s back.

coop spotting is officially the new thing in cork like

As you now know - that was me - great chatting this morning - have enjoyed seeing your LE over the past months - great to have a chance to see her stationary. I've been traveling this raod alone for the past few years - good to have some Coup company.

I was sat behind an Ink Black going into Edgeworthstown Friday 2 weeks ago. I was heading for Dublin and it pulled into the town. I would have flashed but wasn't in the coupe. Looked great in the surrounding traffic.

Saw a yellow 97 reg 20vt on Marine Rd,Dun Laoghaire monday evening 27th.It was parked and no one about.

Of course I now have added to the national coupe tally count with my 96 16v. I know there is another blue turbo (98 I think)in town (Tralee) owned by a doctor.

I think there is a yellow one (not sure which model) around Listowel Co Kerry too but its a while since I seen it now.

Can't believe that when driving with my dogs to the beach today I saw a silver coupe parked in Ardfert (Co kerry) and then on the way home saw another 00D wine example driving towards ardfert.

Its always the same just when i think i am the owner of an exclusive car every tom Joe near me decides to buy one too.

A Sprint Blue on a flat bed recovery truck going through Castlebar, Co. Mayo last Friday evening.
I only spotted when I came out of a shop and it disappeared around the street corner.
It was on Irish plates.
Anyone's on here ??

Silver '01 D Coupé with red Brembos and plus alloys, at a Mitsubishi lorry/air-con place? in the Ballymount area in Dublin.
Anyone know it?

Saw a 00 wine coloured one on sunday,coming out of Tralee heading for Listowel. Must be the same one Alfaguy saw in Ardfert.

00 C plate 20V in Blitz blue going in thru Tuam last Saturday.
Alfaguy's Red 16V at the Octane meet yesterday, we both had a drive in each's Coupé's.
His feels tighter than mine, even though I have new shocks and polybushed wishbones (5k ago)
Lovely motor, feels a bit less nose heavy than a 20VT, very very nice on the twisties , and a great noise from the 16V engine , eggs you on to go faster
I can see why Barnacle has kept his

99 d sprint blue 20vt dundrum shopping centre sat

That 00 C 20v Blitz blue in Tuam again, last saturday and again I had the van, which I parked beside it

It must be a local-ish car doing the weekly shop, next time I'll have the Coupé with me

Just brought sprint blue 20VT in from uk 99-D , love it, living in Sandyford

well you got yourself a fun machine. i have mine nearly a year (a yellow 97 wx reg 20VT) and i am still like a big kid every time i go for a spinn

in waterford

Yellow '99 20VT spotted around Dalkey/Sandycove in Dublin, it has the rear light recesses painted in black.

Looked good too !

Dark red 00 D reg in Clarina outside Limerick heading into the city,this morning. Was going the other way so no other details.A rare spotting around here.

I saw a sprint blue in the car park of cineworld parnell square on Sunday

Coupe meet in Athlone on April 6th, see non-uk event page.

That Electric blue '00 20v in Tuam, yesterday, yet again, and always when I pass thru there in the van, not the car

Steel grey, I think ,or Moon grey Plus? at Turnpike Road in Dublin today , an '01, and she looks mint

Next time I pass, I'm going to call in it's a workshop/tyre place

Don't forget, there's a Coupé meet in Athlone ( Hudson Bay Hotel) this Sunday ( April 6th) around 11.30-12pm.

14 April
97 WW silver in Ballymount 6pm
later that evening another Silver in Stonemasons Way, Ballinteer
While thinking "wow never see any now 2 in one day" I passed a third one, Red on the same road 10 secs later
must be the sunshine bringing them all out!!

Today 20th April,

Broom Yellow on the M50 with the petrol filler cap wide open

spotted burgundy red coupe up here in derry
start of the month - mice and original

around free derry corner - southern plate tho

can any1 recommend good garage for timing belt change on 20vT??? (north or south)

I haven't been here but I've been told that John Linnane Motors is quite good (all the way in Wicklow though).

i'll give them a bell, wouldn't mind a trip down, was considering a trip to england for the job - wicklow would be a tad bit handier lol
cheers

Or... try PM'ing somebody like yellow_coop as he is based in L.Derry and judging by the 1485 posts he's made and the fact that his coop is modded, I sure he knows a bit about the Coupe! He might be able to direct you to a good garage that's more local to you.

Daithi

cheers daithi28 since this post i'v been in contact with yellow_coop and he's pointed me in the right direction, very helpful and closer to home than i could ever hope.
thanks again

Met.Wine 97 plate, on the N17 heading to Galway, while I was turning off the bypass (From Galway) to go into Claremorris.

Blonde haired lady driving it. It was behind another car, so I only seen it with seconds before I passed, BUT I flashed the lights and waved and got a wave back

Apart from meets, this is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've met another Coupe on the road (in Ireland) while driving my one.
I've always spotted other Coupe's while driving the vans

,

97 WW silver mine i reckon....easy to spot, has a nurbergring sticker on the back

last weekend parked in carrigmines shopping center and a yellow 99 coop pulled right up beside me, was talking to the driver too, plus there was a red coop there too, not sure of make and model,

Mmmm.... I passed a Red P Reg Coupe just outside my house this morning in Castlebellingham, Co. Louth. I flashed my lights and he flashed back. Ah... what a nice feeling.

It's the 1st time I've ever passed by another Coop on the road. I wonder is it another soon to be re-registered Coupe from the UK or just some guy on holidays?

7th August Met blue 96 D on Ballinteer avenue , think it was a 16v but only copped it as it went past
