Ireland- Coupé meet Carlingford 16th July

Hi guys,

I'd fancy a coupé meet in the next few weeks. The car is sitting in the garage gathering dust and the weather is nice these days. Carlingford, Co. Louth is always a nice spot, plus you can take a spin up the Cooley Mountains too.

Anybody interested? I'm available on Saturday 16th July, Saturday 30th July or even Saturday 6th August.

Hi Daithi,

As mentioned I would be up for a meet too. Looking at the dates Sat the 16th July would provisionally suit. I have a wedding and hols on the other dates.

Right Guys, who else is up for it? It has been quite a while now.


CollieD

July 30 or August 7 for me

Hi I picked up a PLus myself and would like to go for a spin sometime!!

I have not even seen another coupe in the month since I got mine lol

Hi E30,

welcome to the forum. Where you based approx?

From your sig I am presuming you were (are still are) a BMW man.

Am I correct in that assumption.

CollieD

Hi CollieD thanks for welcome.........

I live in Ashbourne Co Meath...quiet little village..

I have had a succcession of e30s at one stage but those days are sadly gone for time being..

Have had a load of alfa,fiat,vw,honda,subaru, its a long and tragic list lol...

David

PS Im off to Terenure Classic Car show tomorrow 3rd july!

please let it be sunny

Hi David,

Like the Plus! Hope to see you in Carlingford. Dunno about dates yet. Might be the 16th July?

Enjoy the Classic Show tomorrow.

Thanks again Daithi looks like a nice LE you got?
16th suits me fine if it suits you and whomever else are heading

So the 16th it is then in Carlingford?

Any other takers?

Well Daithi,

the 16th should be fine for me.

Hopefully our summer arrives before then.

CollieD

The 16th is good for me, good to catch up with you all!

Well Maastiff,

good to see you can make it. Will see you there.

CollieD

Nice one Ronan. I ain't seen you in an age.

What time do people want to meet up?

Hi All,

I dont really mind. Evening time would probably suit best.

Daithi, call a time and we will see how it suits people.

CollieD

8am?

Just kidding

Okay,

How's about 4pm?

Any takers? Earlier? Later?

Carpark at the Four Seasons Hotel?

Hi Daithi,

Thats okay for me but I am pretty flexible all evening.

Hope the rain stays away.

CollieD

That's great Colin.

Ronan & David.....you still coming?

Weather forecast looks mixed

Let's hope the sun stays out.

Right Lads,

the sun is coming out and it is looking good here now. Am going to get the car out of the garage and give ger a wash.

See you all there around 4.

CollieD

It's still raining here in Castlewellan

Just been out and run a sponge over the car, in the rain.

By the time I get to Carlingford it'll probably be dirtier than before I started

Still, see you there at 4

Well there was a no-show from Maastif or e30forlife, but Colin and I had a good chat in Carlingford before heading out on our spin through Jenkinstown, up through the Magnetic Hill and on up towards the Long Womans Grave, before pulling in at a layby overlooking Carlingford Lough.

Weather was mixed, but was nice enough up on the hills.




All in all a great evening

What the hell, here's 3 more....

Well Daithi,

photos look well. Turned out to be a good evening and great to meet up again and learn more about the coupe.

Lookin forward to next one already.

CollieD

Hi lads Im sorry i couldnt make it as my laptop imploded on me and my bonnet wouldnt open on the friday and i couldnt drive up without peace of mind sadly...

HI E30,

thats grand. Just home from hols today. Hope your coupe is well now.

We will have to get a meet going before the winter with a good few coupes.

Have not heard or seen many of the Irish coupe owners on here in a while.

You guys still out there?

Polling for interest in a coupe meet in September when things settle down (Hols etc).

Regards

CollieD

Hi Colin,

Yup, I'd be on for another meetup before my coupé goes into winter hibernation.

That is once I get the mysterious Oil Slick diagnosed and repaired. Could be failed driveshaft oil seal, could be the gearbox itself.

Have ordered a new oil seal. Here's praying

Bloody Coupés!

How about the first weekend of October, 1st or 2nd?

Hi Darren,

Good to hear from you. Hows the coupe going. I would be up for meet in early october.

Daithi, I hope the oil slick is something simple. Have not been out in her for a few weeks. I hope to get out for a spin soon.

CollieD

I hope so too Colin. Early October sounds okay to me so far. I've only been out once for a 5 mile warmup run since the last meet up in July. This car needs a run out before it's parked up for winter!

Yes let me know Im looking to take her out for a nice spin before she gets parked up for the snow..

Hi Lads

Same here. One more spin before the big freeze

Hi Tierney,

nice lookin coupe in the sig.

Good to see a bit of interest gathering in this.

Any others out there??

CollieD

Hi guys,

Just to check.... we're still aiming for the weekend of 1st or 2nd of October right? I just want to put it into the diary before the date is taken for something else less exciting!

Daithí

Yes i need 3 weeks notice to get the day off from work so what suits everyone sun 2nd suits me at the moment

Sunday 2nd Oct is okay for me.

Hi All,

thats okay for me too.

CollieD

me too

Yea that sounds good to me too!!
