Insy, mine looking rather smart in 814 and 849... who says you need fancy wheels and body kits to look good? $\:D$

Shame that bloke with the computer kept popping up in the later shots though... $\:P$

So what prize do I win for getting there first and preparing the Grasshopper staff for a lot of people! $\:D$

Nice pics peeps! Insy, how did you manage to make my car look clean? All that effort collecting blemish-hiding dirt to no avail!

Here's a panoramic one from my phone http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/27072008005.jpg

And a couple of others: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/welformed/27072008001.jpg

Various vids to follow! $;\)$

Nice to meet those who we met and maybe those who we didn't meet, maybe we'll have anohter chance sometime. It was a bit of a strange one IME - I thought people would collect and then maybe all leave together and do some noise demos etc., but a load of people seemed to leave after about an hour. I was look forward to a play with Trappy and a fight with Cappo... or the othe way round or something.

Cheers for CountyCruising on the very pro looking repaired manifold too. I may be after some porto doors sometime - both sides. Thinking about it, a bonnet would be nice... and a boot...

What, you were there, WF? And you didn't say hi? $°\($

I asked around but late on... I was definitely there when you did the panoramic, though. $\:D$

tbh I was too busy just talking to people in close proximity and had no idea who was who really or who was going, then I think you were pretty busy with your laptop. I did get a vid of you doing that though which could work out to be a nice advert for the widget... but we were melting, burning and had a long drive back

Did Trappy even turn up at all?

There will be other times. That Inn was a right haunt for interesting machinery. And btw, I was chatting to the Cobra guys for a bit, they were all replica's with Rover V8s (SD1?) engines in some.

Other stuff I saw, that (non-vxr Coop-meat) Monaro, Renault Spyder (first one I've ever seen not on a track!), F355, SL600, R8, about 4 caterhams, trikes, GT500 'Stang, some guy what looked like a pre-WWI 'car' and some slow mundane Dowdi S3... $;\)$ Good place to have meets! = agaaaain!

Who was the guy in the GVT V6? I just missed recording him as he pulled off. Pity, sounded well nice!

btw, mine was the different looking, dirty a$$ed, bruiser car that would go Brrrrr TSH-T-T-t-t-t at off-boost speeds. $\:\)$ Joe's boy seem to love it, anyway.

Re: SE Meet pics etc. . .. - 28/07/2008 11:34

Welformed, I wasn't there fella. If I'm honest, I'd forgotten all about this until friday and had made other plans by then

As it was I ended up doing buggerall indoors, I could have popped over $\:\($

I haven't been to a Coupé meet for years now $°\($

I'd really like the coop to be running and looking very nicely before going to a meet as well. Scrotes have scratched it to fccuk now and the fuelling issues are yet to be sorted. Next time...

Insy your pics are good, didnt realise you had taken so many. And DidCoop when that porsche started to pull onto the motorway i started speeding up to have a race but i got told very swiftly by my partner to stop it $\:\($ , so i had to shut off (i wish i had been on my own $\:D$ ) It was a shame that people started leaving so early, but then i suppose people have other things to do, was worth doing a 140 mile round trip, beautiful day

It is a shame we didn't all go for a blast....could have got some amazing vids!

Like i say Dave if i had been on my own i would of chased and beat that boxter (i think $\:D$ ) as soon as i got to 90mph and started putting my foot down that was when the voice from next to me said no, stop it $\:\($ i was told there and then $\:D$ he he he he, i did see you racing him, but wernt close enough to enjoy it all. I would of loved to see there faces, 2 cocky looking lads in there boxter, and then to see there shame $\:D$

Clearly not impressed by that comment WF!! now il think you will find it may look so nice in the pics because. . . . . .. . . .. . .. . oh yea when i got it and it had quite a few things wrong with the bodywrk etc which it wouldnt of looked no where near that nice I WF got it resprayed and i have bought more parts to go on it and put a £800 alarm on it etc so because you may not be able to see my input on as you would say AKEME's car you might want to look bit harder $\:P$ . . . . and also when its forged and running near on 400bhp you wont be able to see that either. unless that Digital Camcorder of urs has got an excellent zoom so that when ur car cant keep upwith me (oops bit like this $\:\)$ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aaFhkavlxoM&feature=user )
you may be able to just zoom in on me the further i get away so it looks like you kept up!!! lol $\:D$

Jealousy is the worst type of Envy $\:D$
hang on .. . . watch this video and listen to the start make sure speakers are on Lmao $;\)$ http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fWa0r9cI_Us&feature=user

Lets get this back to talking about the meet and showing the pictures/videos.

If it continues down the route of becoming a bit of a coupe vs thread, or an argument it will be locked.

I was hopeing to come but I was playing rugby 7s so no chance I could make it. I hope I will make the next one though.

Re: SE Meet pics etc. . .. - 28/07/2008 21:21

Oh get off! That was supposed to be totally tongue-in-cheek. Guess I goaded a bit more than I thought. lol $\:P$

With my mucky bugger, you can tell I don't 'get' all this my-car-is-better-than-yours stuff.

Anyway, I've already said to your face several times, I reckon your car is mint and that your work on it is great - hence I thought I could get away with being cheeky. ( $\:D$ ? )

As you'll see from the vids, it has even more total feature time than mine, probably because you deserve it.

DC, have you played with those in Photoshop or similar? They seem very punchy; a shade sat down (over contrasty) and over chroma'd... just me being nosey; there's some cracking graphic images there - 1 and 2 particularly.

I concur. Does fccuk have a club photographer...?

Posted By: Anonymous

Re: SE Meet pics etc. . .. - 28/07/2008 22:01

They do get "tweaked" ever-so-slightly in PS and I agree some of them are very over-exposed, I also have the chromatic setting enabled on my cam for that very reason.

Thanks for the tips though, glad you like em!

DidCoop they were good pics, like the ones of us driving home, especially the one where your taking a picture just as my partner is, great timing, he he he, and the one where your taking a picture while Insy was, as you look through his images theres exactly the same one from his car $\:D$ Very good mate.

Glad to see that my old girl finally managed to get to a Coupe meet - even if she did have to be towed behind Joe's Range Rover! $\:D$ And doesn't the number plate look good - perfect for a 20VT $;\)$ **still for sale - please contact Joe if you're interested **

http://www.drj-media.co.uk/semeet/17.jpg

Joe - did you wash her on Saturday night? She seems a hell of a lot cleaner than when you took her away! Or maybe it's just DidCoop's excellent photographic skills $\:\)$

btw - DidCoop - what camera were you using for these pics?

Cheers

Great to see so many Coupes, I go to a lot of |Italian Car Shows and you never really see Coupes gathered in those numbers. I was down in the New Forest so missed this chance. Cheers to everyone for posting vids and pics, I only have a standard Silver 20v non turbo but would like to bring it along next meet.

Cheers
