is there going to be one??
need a target date for the coupe to be on the road LOL!!!

ooo i want to go to this too!! me me me me

I didn't make it this year and really missed it!!

I always go to this one! Had a great time last time
So yes, Ill be going

I haven't been able to make 1 yet but I'll be at next years.

they are a good crack and some will remember my "jacuzzi diving" a couple of years back too!!!

I would have a dabble always fun in the lakes.

defo interested.

That was mentioned earlier tonight actually

Any ideas for dates ?

well even though i started this thread it would look like I wouldn't be able to make it anyway due to cash flow problems!!

Its the thought that counts!!!!
Where is that nice old Cowboy chappy then?
Mid/end April???????
It wont be long coming round people so lets get a wriggle on eh?

on the basis i'm spending a load on the spa weekend which is closely followed by a week away with mates, i could do with budgetting for this - so any clues fellas/lasses?

tried calling him today but no answer, i was just round the corner from his house but didn't like to just land there incase he had guests.

sorted.....

sorted

Dave,if he had "guests" the police van would be sitting outside!

LOL too true!!

Cowboy and I mentioned staying at the Ibis hotel in Carlisle again, the one that we recently stayed in

A good location for drinking and only around the corner from Robs place for eating

Not far from Penrith and all the nice drives.

The hotel is reasonably priced as well - around £40 for a single room, rather than the £70 or more that's been paid before in other places.

This is usually cowboys thing, to arrange the Lakes, but I'm just going by what we talked about a couple of weeks ago.

Karl, if you want to get the train up like you mentioned, i've got a spare coop to run around in if you want?

Sounds like a cunning plan to me!Drive round the lakes,lunch then back to Carlisle for dinner and drink?
We await the mighty Cowboy!Indian,Construction worker,policeman etc!

isn't that a bit YMCA!!!

Young Man!!!!!!!!!

LOL i did think about posting that up!!

Theres no need to feel down Dave!

believe me mate with my life at the moment I have hit rock bottom!!! it's only my lad and my mates on here keeping me going to be honest

Thought it was all sorted now Dave?

it sort of is but there is still a lot of crap going on in my life sam, the incident the other day was the icing on the cake, and there are many tiers to the cake!!

Dave you can have Janice.....seriously take her...please.



Mate, some times you don't know when your luck is in

cheers Ronnie!! Looks like i may have a reason to come to the lakes after all then!!

result, its gona be a good year

Hmm a temping offer if ever I saw one

sorry dave phones been off and ive not been on here,right ill see what the hotel can do,were not haveing it over the hols as to bissy up there then,give me a few days and ill sort it out,but ideas of dates would be good and its friday to sunday

no worries mate!! might pop over this weekend if you are about.
i'll see how reasonable the rates are as to whether i can make it to the lakes or not

Ronnie; that could come back and bite you very firmly on your .

I wear the trousers in my house Craig, nothing to worry about

Yes he does! Leather chaps so his knees dont get sore when doing the housework!

Hello???????????????

Should be up for this again, prob just pop over for the day as usual

Dates dependant of course.

I'm off up to the Lakes tomorrow for a long weekend, it's set to be my first trip up there and I'm going armed with three nice driving routes from one of the lads that I work with who's missus lives in Cartmel.

I'll be well up for a Lakes meet later in the year providing I can get the time off work.

Stuff it!! Get a date sorted and I'll try and make it.

As long as my camera doesn't go missing or get a polish wakeup call at 5 in the morning!!

Ross

Come on cowboy.. get your head out of you engine bay and lets make a start organising this

Dave

What did you get up to polish at 5am Ross?

Rumour has it,that there was a police officer there at the scene of the crime .

Baz

that's a first then, big man's no the quickest in thought or motion

sorry i cant sort this out this time,got some big Family probs at the mo,but i might make it if someone else can sort it,sorry

Hope things sort them selves out right for you Carl.
Dave are you up for taking the lead on this?

im off up to kendal/lakes for 4 days end of the week just for a mini break

I was up in Kirkoswald (8 Miles from Penrith) last weekend. We were blessed with fantastic weather for the full four days. Some great roads up there, was a nice first visit to the area for me. I planned out a good little (65 Mile... If you can call that little!?!) circuit that took in Ullswater, Windemere and Coniston. Gave the missus plenty to look at and gave me some nice twisty roads to negotiate. Everyone's a winner.

I'm definitely up for returning in a Coupe convoy.

Good to hear somebody else loving our lovely roads
Would be great if you managed up for the lakes weekend meet, the more the merrier.

Was talking to Craig (sterrick) and he's up for it so thats another on the list.

Lets make this one a massive meet guys

Are you taking possession of this Rob?

I wish i had the time, working 6 days a week at the moment and i need to put the car back together after a respray and new front end mods

Might try and make this this year, bit awkward for several reasons but would be good to come back God's own country for a blat.

Off back up there this weekend actually, tomorrow lunch set off, so might see some of you holidaymakers on the main routes

If it`s ok guy`s i`l take the lead with this meet?

As said before this will be a 3/4 day meet,friday to sunday/monday for people staying over(Ibis Hotel) or whenever you can make it(saturday being the main day).

I was thinking of 10 pin bowling on friday night mayby followed by a few drinks?(bowling is in carlisle 2min in a taxi)
Saturday morning a look around Carlisle city centre? lunch then head off for a drive through the lakes(route to be planned)
Then back to carlisle for evening meal at Rob`s restaurant (Mezzaluna) then out for drinks on our golden mile

Sunday,Breakfast at rob`s and a catch up on the previous evenings endeavours Then a wee drive to Penrith for sunday Lunch at the Agricultural (Rhubarb/scal_LE`s Hotel)
And for those wanting to take in one of the best driving roads in Britain! (evo mag has used it on two occaisions last year) a drive up hartside pass

Some of you drove this road last time and will also recomend it ?

All the above is just an idea at the moment so let me know what you think?

Right so Dates,any ideas???

Dave

Go for it Dave.

It would be an honour to have you all round at the restaurant again , and for the ones that missed out last time,

Can we organise it again like last time please, it worked out great for us; interested people initially, then definite numbers 1 week before, or sooner.
I wont be able to play around with numbers after this time with it being a saturday night so the sooner we have a confirmed total, the easier it will be and no-one will be disappointed.

Of course, not everybody has to eat here, but the usual goodies will be thrown in for the ones that do

Dave, That agenda sounds spot on What dates we talking about?

I have a few hopes - I hope my coop is on the road, I hope I'm free whenever it is and I hope I have enough dosh

This is one of the meets I always make a effort to attend, me and emm had a bloody good time last year. Lovely drive and the last day the weather really did cheer up

Depending on the dates, I'll be there

Would like to stay in the Ibis again, as they have smoking rooms Also decent prices and central to everything (stumbling back)

Would also like to go to Robs place for food and the Aggi

Will think about Hartside Pass

Hey, fag ash Lill, you can sit in with me if you want, you wont have time for a fag till we get to the top but you might want 2 or 3 when we get there

T,you did well last time

I'll be up for this too guys..date dependent

I`ve had a look about(dont want to clash with other meets and scool hols) and june seems a good month? either the 11/14 or 18/21 or25/28??

Dave

beware of june - lots of folk saving/going to spa....

Well I'm up for a Lakes meet, they're always a good laugh. I'll keep my eye on this thread for dates etc, but provisionally count me in

Might just come along with you Rob to enjoy the scenary

I think I drove with my eyes closed most of the time last time



You'll never know how scared I was, but pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of the Coupe trying to keep me alive

Pah, i came over hartside in winter with three passangers. Absolutely hissing down and all the windows steamed up. The suspension kept bottoming out too due to the weight! I thought nothing of it. It was only once we were back at sea level my passengers, looking a bit pale, were congratulating my drive over the pass

Can someone set up a poll for the 3 dates above please

Dave

18/21 is the only date there that we would be able to attend as we've got Download the week before and Kim's working the following one.

Baz

am only free on the 18-21, thats if i havnt scrapped the coop by then.

Im up for this depending on dates. Can juggle a/l around if enough notice!

I'm meant to be working EVERY weekend in June.

However I have booked the first weekend off already. My preference would be the third or fourth weekend of June as I do a four-on-four-off and if this was the second weekend of June then I'd be away from work for 20 days and wouldn't want to go back!!!

I think setting a poll up would be the best idea!!!

Anyone help?

Happy to help but June dates are not looking good for me

No June dates are good for me neither, sorry

We have the Chatsworth rally show on the 5th and 6th and the Spa trip on the 19th and 20th.

Awkward getting the time to do all and/or getting time off work, as well as getting money together

I can't do them dates either

I cant do any of them dates im afraid, June has just to much going on with the spa and Chatsworth rally

When did we hold this last year? It looks like June isn't turning out to be a good month for this!

Last year it was 25th of April at the Agri and I'm sure the year before that was late March.

Baz

So the same weekend would fall on 23rd/24th this year.

Dave, is this an option? What do the rest of you think?

It might be better earlier on in the year for everyone if its been round about that time the past few years!

I`m Happy with any dates sudgested?
so how about 23rd to the 26th april people?

That date would be ideal for Kim and I .

Baz

Perfect for me,as Im off for nearly two weeks then!

24/25 April is Time Attack at Oulton Park which counts me out as I'm there with another club called Zero260 (www.zero260.co.uk)... Also we're due to move house in the next week, so March payday is already spent for me, unfortunately.

There'll never be a date to suit everyone so I'll just see what everyone else decides and do my best to get along...

But, as a happy medium, what about May!?!

Any more happy with this date? we need to sort this asap so people can get time off work.

Dave

I won't be able to make it that weekend I work every other weekend and that's my weekend to work. Between sickness and holidays, it's hard to get time off at the moment

i will try and attend whenever it is ...although i usually have comitments on sundays i will be there for the rest meet

So far the dates have been unpopular so how about the 16/19 April???
Lets get this sorted people,pls let me know if you can or can`t make this date?

Dave

dave been there done that lol you pick a date and stick with it our this will never happen.

Ye it`s on the card`s Karl not much feedback at the moment!

The 16/19th April weekend would probably be ok for me, as would every other from those dates (as in, I'm off that weekend, in the next, off the next, etc)

Would probably just be a Saturday stop over for me, but would see about that when a date is sorted

Right the dates for this meet are
friday the 16th to Monday the 19th of April.

here is the possable itinery

my attendance is less likely now my daughter just ran up £250 worth of mobile phone bill this month....but we'll see

wow £250

Going to have to drop out of this now as I wrote my car off tonight.

I don't have £4k in the bank just now so doubt I'll be able able to get another in time.

I WILL have another coupe and will come next time but it will break me seeing all your lovely cars and mine is dead.
