Spotted a Silver Coop yesterday on the Rhuddlan by-pass around 5pm heading into Rhyl.
Then again around 7.15 I was coming back from the sports centre and saw it coming out of Rhyl again on the fly-over, with what I can only describe as a tree sticking out of the boot! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That would be me, WOW, haven't been on here for a while!
First spot - on my way home from work,
Second spot - giving an Astra Gsi a lesson - wasen't even going that way <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Tree coming out of the boot <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Got me stumped <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Giles how you doing, have you been in Recluse? Blimey your coupe must be super reliable, most of us have to post in the technical problems at least once a month <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Ah wait - the world cup has been on hasn't it, no wonder we haven't seen you <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, Hi there Giles!

First spot I actually saw you on the st asaph dual carriageway as I was coming out of bodelwyddan and you were about 12 cars in front, I managed to get so as there was just the Peugeot in between but he was being a c0ck and wouldn't budge so I couldn't give you a proper wave!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hello Mr Pinin - how are you mate? been pretty busy with work and ofcoarse as you said the world cup + been on holiday! and a business trip to Japan - with a Coupe spot <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> been viewing, just not posting really.

The Coop's good to be fair - she's a gud one <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />

Mistressmania - nice to meet / spot you!
I 'll slow down next time for a wave <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

off to get a hair cut <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boring.gif" alt="" />

Saw two today, of all days, when I'm in a Mondeo courtesy car.

Saw an S reg Sprint Blue one on the Wrexham bypass(A483) heading towards Chirk/Oswestry around 4.30 pm ish.

Then saw a W reg dark blue one on the Chester Road, heading towards Acton in Wrexham about 5pm ish

I haven't seen any around for a while and then the day after I crash mine, I see two <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

They both looked lovely though and are my top two favourite colours <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Apotted another yellow one, much cleaner than mine though! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
Around 8am heading Eastbound on the A55. I did flash but it looked like he was tuning the radio/changing the cd/putting a fag out so he didn't notice me, even though we passed just either side of the central barrier... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Took my Coupe to Cineworld in Llandudno Junction last Thursday (3rd August) - driving back to Anglesey about half ten that night, spotted a dark blue Coupe parked in a lay by near to the Penmaenbach tunnel. Was that you??!!

Sorry if you had broken down & I didn't stop [going too fast! ; )], as my passenger was convinced that was the case being that it was a Fiat! I had to explain to her the difference between the Pininfarina crafted car & the other 'run-of-the-mill' models, but she started to fall asleep. She'll come round to being a believer eventually! She has actually spotted a yellow Coupe down in Pen Llyn (Pwllheli) - not sure if it was local or a tourist. She also concedes that the 20v Turbo is 'very fast'. Hello!? I know - that's why I bought it!!

I was on a tour of North Wales last week on my week off, Pwllheli, Betws Y Coed, Bala etc so it may have been me in my Yellow Coop. If I was bedraggled and wet looking, and following by a Landy with a 'noo on the roof, it was more than likely me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

If not, Hi anyways!! Croeso i fccuk! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great, I admire your honesty <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

'Ni oll medru beth sy'n bod eich megis colli' <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

KP, that makes no sense at all you loon...
Translates as "I cannot know how to what is the matter your so as in lose" <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like KP's use of English to me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah makes perfect sense to me!!

Welsh aint as easy as other things you know!!

Ill try again <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

'Nyni cwbl cnot beth di caru'

'Us whole 'cnot' what is love'

Give up Plebbers, 'cnot' isn't a word and the rest makes absolutely no grammatical sense!
...You really can't use on-line dictionary's for translating whole sentences hun!

What was it you're actually trying to say?????? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

In English??

I cant be bothered now. I even tried asking the welsh people i know and none of them speak welsh at all <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You didn't ask me?? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Diolch am y croeso Pinin a Misstressmania! Translation (for visitors): Ta for the welcome!

As for the above - was 'cnot' a typo KP??!! It sounds like a very familiar word often used in the Caernarfon area!!!!

She spotted the yellow coop a while back, but if you are a regular visitor to that area it could well have been you!! I'll ask her later for more details...

"Nid aur yw popeth melyn!"

Kingpleb rydych chi ddim gallu siariad neu ddeall cymraeg, rydych chi'n edrill fel tatws !!!!

Im not able to understand or use the welsh language very well??

And something about a potatoe in the last bit.

Bet its full of compliments hey Pinin <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />:D

dydw i ddim yn bod yn neice iawn rudw in meddwl fod chi'n pen piddin mawr <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Stop it now i cant be bothered with it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> plus willy has gone for a nap so cant translate for me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Lmao <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sister spotted a "T" plate sprinter on the A55 today at around 4PM.

I've also seen a Sprint Blue Turbo on the A55 in recent months - near Abergele, travelling West. A few months ago, I also saw a middle aged gentleman with a very nice LE filling up in Black Cat Services (Llandudno Junction) - the home of cheap Optimax!

It's crazy cheap there isn't it! not quite worth the 20 mile drive though for me!!

I pass it every day on my way to work, but it's always 3 deep for the pumps and only one guy at the till <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
They love making me late for work <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Since the beginning of the year I have seen a few Coupes on Anglesey / Bangor area, including:

- an Ink Black Turbo travelling down the slip road towards Tesco Bangor

- a Portofino Blue 20V parked in Tesco Bangor car park on a regular basis

- a modified Protofino Blue 20V Turbo parked outside Bennetts' Electrical Superstore (staff member) - seems to have been replaced by a modified new Beetle recently

- a Scotts Green 20V Turbo, heavily modified, in Bangor (Tesco (again!) and Halfords

- a red P plater in Holyhead (I passed you when I was working there in the Spring!)

- another red one on the A55 heading towards Holyhead

- yet another red one (20V P plater) that was being sprayed by my friend Alan Buses in his bodyshop in Mona. (That was for sale & I took some photos. Nice standard example with black leather/air). I have seen four red coupes on Anglesey - including my own turbo model!

- an immaculate late model 20V in Scotts Green on a private plate (A** OEM) that I see regularly around Llangefni, and got a wave. I think he is a club member too - pa hwyl syr!
